Renting a car in Gran Canaria: common questions
Is the airport pick-up convenient?
Yes. Gran Canaria airport is on the motorway between Las Palmas and the south, and rental companies operate desks and meet-and-greet pick-ups there. Select the airport as your pick-up point and the details for each company are shown before you book.
What is driving in the interior like?
Beautiful and slow. Roads to Tejeda, Roque Nublo and the mountain villages are narrow and winding, with plenty of viewpoints to stop at. A compact car is the easiest to handle, and allow far more time than the distance suggests.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Gran Canaria, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search here and see live cars and prices from local rental companies. When you choose one, the booking completes on our partner network’s secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
