Searching for SUVs and Crossovers

The white form is preset to search for SUV and crossover vehicles in the 'Sao Jorge Airport' rental office. Address: Aerporto De São Jorge, Velas De São Jorge, 9800-308, Portugal.

In Madeira, we offer vehicles at 3 different rental locations (see the links below). Normally, the best SUV rental offers in Portugal are provided by offices located in airports and train stations.

We recommend the following principle for selection of an off-road model for trips in Portugal: if your planned routes are mainly within a city borders – a small crossover, while if the routes go through countryside or mountain regions – a large and powerful off-road 4x4 car.

Madeira, Portugal: SUV and Offroad Rental Tips
The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Madeira are: BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe, Suzuki Jimny, Hyundai Tuscon, BMW X3, Toyota Rav4 and others.

While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Portugal ask information about two credit cards.

Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.

Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.

If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Portugal are mandatory child seats for travellers with children. OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe trip and green lights on the roads of Madeira!

Driving Advices for Portugal – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
The rich choice of underground parking lots somewhat eases the situation. The number of underground parking areas increases every year in Portugal. You will find it almost impossible to find a free parking space on the street in the daytime.
Local people are quite liberal about the problem of parking. You will often see cars parked at a pedestrian crossing or even on the pavement. Leaving the car park on the street, you should be prepared to the fact that you might find small dents and scratches on the car on return. On parking lots, cars stand very close to each other, so small problems are simply inevitable.
Here we should definitely mention friendly attitude of local drivers and pedestrians to other drivers. For example, if an inexperienced driver tries to “squeeze†to a narrow parking space, people passing by or other drivers will surely help him. They will stop and will show the driver the best way to turn the wheels and how long it is possible to move backwards in order not to crash into a nearby car or rail.

Enjoying SUV and sightseeing of Madeira
Madeira also has some amazing landmarks, which only few experienced travelers are aware of. Look for one of such places in the picturesque village of Camara de Lobos - this is the so-called "Winston Churchill Viewpoint". This is the name of a small platform where the British Prime Minister set up his easel and did paintings in the mid-20th century. Of course, this historical fact did not remain unnoticed by inhabitants of the small town. The site is still well-preserved, and an information plate in the form of an easel was fixed on the nearest building. It is pretty easy to find this symbolic place - the site is located near a fur seal fountain. Nearby is the cozy restaurant Cherchills , and if you believe the stories of locals, Winston Churchill has visited it a number of times more than 60 years ago.
Demanding gourmets should pay attention not only to popular restaurants on the island. In the capital, they must visit the Workers' Market ( Mercado dos Lavradores ). This is the largest market on the island offering its customers an incredible selection of local delicacies. Have you ever tried a banana and pineapple hybrid? And what about an amazing combination of passion fruit and tomato? At the Workers' Market, you can try a lot of exotic fruits, some of which are grown only in Madeira. The market will also appeal to those who not indifferent to exotic seafood.

Want some really extreme fun? Go to the city of Funchal and try out a traditional local mode of transport - toboggan. This is how they call simple wooden sleds, on which you can ride even when there is no snow. In the past, this form of transport was used to descend vegetables and fruits from the mountains, and in recent years, it has gained incredible popularity among tourists. Only in Madeira you can ride the wooden sleds down polished asphalt. This kind of transport cannot be found in any other corner of the world.
