Key’n Go Madeira – how it scores
Verified ratings
Rates include basic CDW with a large excess blocked on your card. Given Madeira's tight, twisty roads, pre-booked stand-alone excess insurance (or full cover) is worth it – it is cheaper than the counter waiver and refunds your excess directly. Photograph the car carefully at pickup and return, as some Funchal desks charge for small scratches.
Madeira has no toll roads – the vias rápidas and tunnels are all free. The airport is Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo (FNC) at Santa Cruz, about 20 minutes east of Funchal. Roads are steep, winding and tunnel-heavy, so an automatic and full insurance are worth considering, and you drive on the right. Porto Santo, the second island, is reached by the Lobo Marinho ferry (about 2h15 from Funchal) or a short flight, and cars can be hired there too.
