Transfer from Madeira Airport to Monte
The journey between Madeira Airport (FNC) and Monte is approximately 22 km via the VR1 west to Funchal and then ascending the mountainside, with an average travel time of 25 to 35 minutes.
Monte is the historic district that rises above Funchal at an altitude of about 550 meters. It is the starting point for the famous wicker toboggans (wicker sleds driven by white-clad carreiros), home to the Monte Palace Tropical Garden and the Church of Our Lady of Monte, patron saint of the island. The journey from the airport has a final section of steep curves, making a private transfer the most comfortable option with luggage. With Million Routes, the driver waits for you at Arrivals and goes directly to Monte with a fixed price from booking.

First time using the service, easy to navigate through the booking service. My only concern was getting the right pick up location due to being in a foreign country. Other than that nice big taxi, friendly helpful driver.. saved into my favourites to use again

A private transfer is always a perfect start and an end to a holiday even if it's a little more expensive than a coach transfer (which delays and often makes the journey and the experience a challenge).
I received a really good service which was delivered at a reasonable cost and much of which would have cost nothing, had I declined a 'express' coach transfer.
Treat yourself. It's worth it - and especially if you're on a late flight home.

I booked and paid 2 cars because we were a big group but you only sent 1 because you thought I made a mistake. If you think that a costumer made a mistake you should first send an email asking for clarification and then delate the booking for one car, especially because I already paid for both of them in advance so it was basically not providing me a service that I paid for

An email to confirm booking and pick up time would be nice.

A confirmation email or text when vehicle was on route to collect me would have been an added reassurance.

Driver very polite and arrived early at pick up point to wait for us and then dropped us off right outside the Airport’s Ryan Air check-in desks entrance doors. That saved us lots of walking and time. Please thank him for his service.

It would be nice with an e-mail to confirm the reservation for the return transportation one day in advance; we received the confirm mail during the middle of the night the very same day as we were picked up at 5:00 am.
But the taxi was there and everything worked out perfectly !

It would be really reassuring if there was a live tracking feature. Our pick up was at 0515 and there was nothing to tell us the taxi was on its way. It turned up exactly on time so no complaints, but at that time in the morning, I was still a bit nervous that it wasn’t going to come.

Punctual and excellent service for our group of 12 passengers. Website was easy to use and simple to change to an earlier pick up time on our departure date.
You might have to do more on your advertising online; I think I tried about 4-5 companies before I found your website and by luck you were available.

The child chairs both ways looked very old and was a bit small to our oldest child. The childchairs was only attached with the carbelt and not isofix, and they were unfortunatley front faced. Other than that, the service and the drivers was very helpfull and friendly.

Lovely car. Polite helpful driver. Excellent service.
I am currently trying to book from Arinaga beach to airport but you do not seem to offer a service when I last checked. You need to be able to cover all customer requirements, and at least give a quote.

Very prompt and reliable taxi company which I booked as I was travelling with a bicycle box. Probably about €35 more than just flagging one down in the street or on a taxi rank but when travelling with large items it was nice not to worry about finding a taxi big enough when travelling back to the airport.
Overall though I would use again.

The driver drove to wrong place when he was supposed to drive us back from El Golfo to Puerto del Carmen. I had to walk a few hundred meters to pick him up.
