Reliable Travel, Tailored to You

Do You Need a Ride is a boutique tours and transfers agency based in Madeira.

Our Story

Do You Need a Ride was founded on a simple observation: Madeira is too beautiful to be seen through the window of a fifty-seater bus.

We saw a gap for a service that combined the professionalism of a premium transfer company with the warmth and knowledge of a local friend. We started with one vehicle and a mission to treat every passenger like a guest, not a booking number. Today, we continue that mission, ensuring that every mile you travel with us is as memorable as the destination itself.

Whether you need a reliable transfer to your hotel in Funchal or a bespoke day-trip to the hidden waterfalls of the North Coast, we invite you to sit back, relax, and let us take the wheel. 

“Our goal is simple: to make your transport the easiest part of your holiday.”
