Car hire Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the northernmost and most easterly of the main Canary Islands, which reside off the coast of Morocco, quite a distance from the Spanish mainland. As with the other islands in the chain, Lanzarote is incredibly beautiful, boasting stunning beaches and well established resorts. Most people compare cheap car hire with us before they set off, as public transport is sketchy and the roads are good, plus we offer the cheapest prices available online by comparing quotes from over forty suppliers.

Most visitors fly to Lanzarote International Airport (at Arrecife, on the east coast), which receives millions of holidaymakers from throughout Europe every year. Ferries also come from Cadiz on the Spanish mainland to the port at Arrecife, and there are regular services from the other islands in the chain.

Buses and taxis are the only options for getting around using public transport. The island is one of the smaller Canaries, although it is still relatively large, and getting about by car is the easiest option. Lanzarote car hire can be booked with major firms like Budget and Europcar, but pre-booking online with us ahead of time online saves a wad.

The roads are quite good on Lanzarote, but corners can be tight in the north and south in mountainous areas. Renters must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid driving licence. Motorists should also always carry a passport and be aware that speed limits are in kilometres, not miles per hour. Seatbelts are to be worn by all passengers at all times.

The beaches are the main draw and can be found at Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca, in the east and south of the island respectively. Sublime scenery resides within the Timanfaya National Park in the centre of the island, which tourists can reach with car rental in Lanzarote. Jameos del Agua and La Cueva de los Verdes in the north are also very special.
