Young drivers, licences and IDPs in Madeira

Check age and licence tenure together

An operator may accept a younger driver only for selected groups, require the licence to have been held for a minimum period or add a daily surcharge. Enter your age at pickup, not at booking, and repeat the check for every additional driver.

• Confirm premium, SUV and van restrictions.
• Ask whether a young-driver fee has a cap.
• Bring the physical licence requested by the operator.

International documents

Requirements depend on the licence’s issuing country, script and the operator’s terms. An international driving permit accompanies rather than replaces the national licence. Ask the rental company and the issuing authority before travel if your document is outside the accepted format.
