Gran Canaria Car Hire

Gran Canaria is a gorgeous island in the Canaries. The conditions are a fair temperate throughout the year, and the geography is varied and exciting. While lots of individuals visit there merely for the sand and the night life in Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles, there is a great deal more to do and see. Hiring a car in Gran Canaria is effortless and reasonably priced, so why not hire a car and see the remainder of the island? 

Travelling on your own, you may wish to stay at the nearby towns, fishing village, sand dunes, fruit plantations, and volcanic craters that are a bit further from the hotels and urban areas.

Las Palmas International Airport is eleven miles south of Las Palmas. All the island resorts can be reached by the main north/south highway, so it makes sense to hire a car right at the airport, and not have to deal with taxis, buses, and transfers that have not been included with your tickets.

The car hire desks are on the ground floor of the airport, in the walkway that connects EU and International arrivals. If transfers came with your holiday package, you can hire your car at the majority of the renowned hotels, or in the city centre.

After you are settled in your hotel, intend a day tour with your Gran Canaria hire vehicle to Sioux City, the Western theme park, or Guayadeque National Park, an ancient cave settlement that was the home of the Guanche race of aborigines, who were the earliest inhabitants of the island.
