It’s a question we’re often asked. If you’re staying in a resort area, you can actually manage quite well without a car, and even if you want to get out of your resort, there’s a pretty good bus service here and the taxis are cheap and plentiful.
However, there are plenty of benefits to hiring a car on the island, and they are also extremely cheap here compared to many destinations:
- If you have to pay for transfers (particularly to and from Playa Blanca) it might actually save you some money to hire to and from the airport
- If you want to explore the hidden villages in rural Lanzarote, you’ll need a car
- Very few of the main attractions in Lanzarote are on the public bus routes, so your only other option is to join a standard excursion
- Lanzarote’s roads are well surfaced and have very little traffic compared to many countries – making driving here a joy
- On odd cloudy or even wet days where the pool or beach isn’t an option, you can get away from the resort
- Spending a day at a different resort can be interesting and give you ideas for your next visit
- When it gets really hot, you’ll enjoy the air conditioning!
- Fuel is much cheaper than in most countries, so you won’t be spending a fortune on that
Hiring a small car with air conditioning here can cost as little as €80 for a week – it might just be the best €80 of your holiday budget!
