How to drive in Madeira - PARKING in FUNCHAL

[@jadelahmad]

I booked a EAST 4x4 tour this Wednesday to celebrate my now wife and I's honeymoon. Can't wait to see the amazing Madeira from one of the best European KZbinrs. Hopefully no or minimal rain :)

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Thats one hell of a compliment Jad, thank you so much! Next time you're coming over, let me know in advance ok ;)

[@alanandsuegrimshaw4629]

Brilliant video thanks very informative can’t wait to try all that!

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

You’re gonna love it !! There’s no place like Madeira 🧡

[@joaomendonca5282]

Hello Jeff another sensational vlog I’m sure it’s a great help for tourists as well as the locals I do like your strategy in the well informed vlogs.. All the best mate 🍋 👏

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Thanx Joao! Yeah it’s a lot of work and of course we’re dedicated at doing the best job we can so really appreciate the positive feedback and support :) thanx bud 🤘🍋

Almirante Reis has been my go to spot in Funchal for years! Super easy to get to when coming in from outside of Funchal. Just get off the highway and head straight towards the city Center. Just keep going and it brings you right to the entrance!!!! Super easy. Park and walk everywhere!!!

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Yeah mine too brother, always space inside (maybe not after this vlog) 😂 super easy to get anywhere, great at night cause I think it’s 24 hours?? So yeah, thanks and can’t wait to have you back here !! Big hug

Good day Jeff thanks for a wonderful series its very enlightening. I am hopefully coming to Madeira next year and what i hope to do is hike around the island anti clockwise along the coast is it possible. It will be over 55years since i was there last i was too young to remember much came by ship at that time and what a job getting ashore. My portuguese is limited although i am the son of Madeiran parents they did not teach me their language. I have a home in Moniz and have a place to stay in Funchal.

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

I hope you have a good plan hey Gus?

[@jaimejardim9192]

Thank you for the informative video. How does one know which is a residence parking as now days very few parking spaces have 'M" in them.

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Hey Jaime! Yeah totally forgot to mention that !! Yeah, the residence parking is usually white lines, signaled with a capital “M”. If you see a white line with no M, or no sign saying otherwise, it’s free

Watching this video made me miss two things my Disco 2 and Camara da lobos 😞 anyhow ** Subscribed** 👊🏾

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Ahah awesome :) will try my best to show you more of both :)) and there’s nothing like a disco hey ;) thanx for the sub 🙏🏼

[@Jess-rj3qd]

Hi Jeff. What is your preferred ride-share app? You mentioned it in one of your vids but couldn't find it. Muito obrigado!

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Local taxi :))

[@and2rew]

In Madeira with family (4 of us) 5-9 Dec. Want to have a sightseeing of the best parts of island. Previously used Green Dragon jeep up the dirt track but want to avoid the bumpy ride. Anyway, what price for a private tour for 4 people taking in the main spots with minimal walking as we getting old now! To include stops for lunch. Would love to have dinner in Camara de Lobos for sunset then back to Funchal town accommodation. So a whole day say from 9 am to 9p? Can tou quote?

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Hi Andrew, at the moment all I have available is on the 6th. I usually do not like doing such long tours ... I usually only do one tour a day with a maximum of 8 hours (remember we still have to prepare the car before as well as wash it after) so for 12 hours, I would quote you for 2 full day tours. I would prefer not to discuss prices here so if you are interested, please email us. yes?

[@and2rew]

@@Hittheroadmadeira thanks. I will email.

[@rainermaier5800]

Hey there! Are there still white spots for rental cars around in Funchal?

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

As far as I know there’s no dedicated parking spots for rental cars. You need to park on the blue lines, and pay the parking. Enjoy Madeira! ✌️🤠

[@rainermaier5800]

@@Hittheroadmadeira Thx

[@rainermaier5800]

I have watched almost all your videos. It is a real big help. Interesting would be a hotel tour. present advertise hotels pros and cons. At the moment I am looking at either do carmo or pestana ocean bay... ;)

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

@@rainermaier5800 I would prefer Ocean Bay, but only because it’s closer to the beach and away from the city centre (more quiet) but you will need to take a taxi/bolt or whatever to get into town, and yes I hope to do more hotel videos soon :)) enjoy Madeira!!

[@rainermaier5800]

Your advice is very much apreciated thank you so much. I have time for one tour can you recommend one day tour that covers some highlights? Kind regards.

[@janengelbrecht2305]

Do you use any credit card to pay park?

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Some places now have, but not everywhere, cash is better

[@tonygouveia8999]

Thanks for the parking tips Jeff. Are you supposed to be eating bolo do caco? Unless it's a cheat day🤔🤣👀

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Ahah that was actually sour dough bread and it was the first time I ever got the opportunity to taste it so yeah, I had a slice ;) ahah thanx for the support! 🙏🏼

[@Banditmanuk]

Hi Jeff, we've been watching and enjoying your channel for sometime now as we have a trip planned for Madeira next month. Here in the UK I run a small KZbin motorcycle touring channel and we were hoping to film when we visit. Can you tell me if a helmet mounted camera is legal or allowed to be used while riding the roads in Madeira? We are certainly aware of restrictions on car dash cams in Portugal and certainly don't want to break any laws. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. We also have a drone we are hoping to use.

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Hey! Yeah the camera on the helmet is fine. When it comes to the drones you’ll have to ask for permission, depending on the drone and where you wanna fly. If you want more help better to WhatsApp or email us ;) cheers!!

[@dee74raz]

Does parking charges in Funchal apply everyday including Sunday? 🧐

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Not sure if I mentioned it, from Saturday afternoon it changes in some places to free, on Sunday as well. But only blue lines, the parking lots will be paid

[@tamasadam4928]

Where we can park if our hotel can't provide parking place? I mean for the night.

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Better you ask the hotel ;)

[@andreborges73]

Eu descobri umas ruas ao pé do casino de Funchal que não se paga parque nenhum. 😆

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Ahah boa sorte amigo, eu prefiro estacionar no Savoy 😂

[@claudiaschiel2232]

Obrigada. You look thinner. My Respect. Where is your Facebook Link?

[@Hittheroadmadeira]

Hey Claudia! Thank you :) the link should be in the description? Have you checked?

[@letsgo......]

"This pão is going to destroy me" I've said that everyday. Side note your looking super fit and fantastic 👌 good job. Now let's test your flexibility with some yoga 🧘‍♂️
