How to book your Canary Islands hire car
- Choose the island and pick-up location, then enter dates, times and the driver’s age.
- Compare available offers and check requirements, the deposit, fuel policy and cover.
- Select any extras you need and complete your booking. Follow the instructions in your confirmation and voucher.
Airport, resort or a holiday across several islands?
Airport pick-up is convenient if you want a car from the start of your stay. A location near your accommodation may suit you if you only need one for a few days. Always check the address, collection procedure and opening hours: an airport listing does not mean every supplier has a desk inside the terminal.
If you are visiting several islands, consider a separate rental on each. Do not assume you can take a hire car on a ferry: check the supplier’s terms and obtain authorisation where required. Returning the car to a different location also needs to be checked before booking.
Canary Islands car hire: frequently asked questions
How much does car hire in the Canary Islands cost?
Prices depend on the island, dates, rental length, vehicle category and availability. Enter your trip details on Rent.it to compare offers, then check extras and any amounts payable at pick-up.
Where can I pick up my hire car?
You can search the airports and locations listed on the island pages. Available branches and collection arrangements depend on the offer. Check the vehicle details and voucher instructions.
Can I hire a car without a credit card?
This depends on the supplier and offer. Check whether debit or prepaid cards are accepted for collection and the deposit, including card networks and cardholder requirements. Paying online does not guarantee that the same card will be accepted at the desk.
Which documents do I need at pick-up?
Check the supplier’s requirements. These generally include a valid driving licence, identification and an accepted deposit card in the main driver’s name. Also check minimum age, how long you must have held your licence and any additional documents.
Are insurance and the deposit included in the price?
Cover, excess and deposit requirements vary by offer. The deposit is security required at pick-up and is separate from the rental price. Read the terms to check included cover and exclusions.
Can I take the car to another island by ferry?
This is not automatically permitted. Before booking, check with the supplier whether inter-island travel is authorised, what it costs and whether cover remains valid. Separate rentals may be an alternative.
Can I return the car to a different location?
Some offers may allow this, subject to availability and possible extra charges. Enter your return location when searching and check the terms before confirming.
When should I book?
Searching ahead gives you time to compare options, particularly for busy holiday periods or specific transmission and space requirements. Prices and availability can change, so check offers for your actual dates.
