Cheap car rental in Gran Canaria is quoted per car, for the dates, pickup point and return point entered in the search. For your rental arrangements around Gran Canaria, cars are collected in arrivals at Gran Canaria Airport or delivered to an address in four south-coast towns.
Each car lists its own seats, transmission, mileage terms, deposit and cancellation terms. Its page also lists the driver's minimum age and driving experience, which can vary even between similar models.
When should I compare rental dates?
Prices are quoted for the exact pickup and return dates searched. Suppliers publish and withdraw cars continuously, so the cars listed for the same dates change between searches made days apart.
With airport collection at Gran Canaria Airport, the car is met in arrivals. The airport is nineteen kilometres south of Las Palmas, in Telde and Ingenio.
An extension to booked dates needs advance notice to the rental agent.
How do I compare two quotes fairly?
The minimum chargeable period is twenty four hours. A few hours are charged as a full day, and Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon is charged as two full days, so a return a few hours after the pickup time on a later day adds a chargeable day.
With one-way car rental, the search takes a separate return point and quotes each car for that pair. Any delivery charge is set per car and shown on its listing.
Each car carries its own cancellation terms, mileage terms and deposit. The booking process and the voucher state how the remaining balance is paid, how the deposit is held and when it is refunded.
Can a mileage allowance change the value?
Mileage terms are set per car. Some models have no mileage limit; others carry a daily limit or a total for the whole rental.
From the airport, Puerto de Mogan is fifty five kilometres away and Roque Nublo fifty one. A return trip from the airport to Puerto de Mogan is about one hundred and ten kilometres, and a Roque Nublo day about one hundred. The routed drive between the airport and central Las Palmas is twenty six kilometres each way. On a sightseeing day on the island, the routed leg from Puerto de Mogan to Agaete alone is one hundred and eight kilometres.
Could resort delivery suit a shorter rental?
The four south-coast points in the search are San Bartolome de Tirajana, Meloneras, Bahia Feliz and Puerto Rico. Each is a city delivery point: the car is brought to the address given within that town.
Delivery to the Playa del Ingles resort area uses the San Bartolome de Tirajana search, the municipality Playa del Ingles belongs to. The drive from the airport to Playa del Ingles takes twenty seven minutes in free-flow conditions.
The delivery charge is set per car and shown on its listing. The voucher carries the supplier's instructions for the handover.
What costs sit outside the rental rate?
Fuel, parking, fines and toll roads are paid by the renter. The car goes back with the fuel level it had at collection: a lower level is charged at the rental company's rates, and a higher level is not refunded.
Blue road markings show paid parking and white markings free parking. In Las Palmas, green markings mark preferential parking for registered residents. The sign and parking meter at the space show the conditions for other drivers.
A car returned so dirty that it hinders inspection is washed at the renter's expense.
Does no deposit mean the cheapest rental?
The deposit and the remaining rental balance are separate items. The booking process and the voucher state the payment method for each and the deposit refund timeline.
Card and deposit are separate conditions on each car. A car offered as a no-deposit rental states its own card rule, and where a credit card is required it must be a physical embossed card in the main driver's name, carried at pickup.
Where a debit card is accepted, the booking and the voucher say so, and it must also be a physical embossed card in the main driver's name. The rental agent can refuse the car to a driver below its minimum age or experience.
What belongs in the final comparison?
Each car carries its own deposit, card rule and mileage terms, shown for the dates, pickup point and return point searched. The booking process and the voucher state how the deposit is held and when it is refunded.
The chargeable period and the fuel-return rule are the same on every car, so they do not separate one offer from another.
The driver needs a valid national licence with details in Latin script and an expiry date no earlier than the end of the rental. Copies and electronic licences are not accepted.
Frequently asked questions
These answers cover the practical questions behind the rental. For an existing booking, your voucher identifies the rental agent and the agreed arrangements.
How do I make a fair comparison between rental quotes?
Search the same dates, times, pickup and return points for each quote. Each car's mileage, deposit and cancellation terms are shown with its price.
What happens if I return with more or less fuel?
The return level must match collection, which is not necessarily a full tank. A shortfall is charged at the rental company's rates and extra fuel is not refunded.
When can washing be charged at return?
When the car is returned so dirty that it hinders inspection. The washing is then charged to the customer.
Does a low price tell me whether cancellation is free?
No. Free cancellation is set per car and shown in its conditions.
When should I book to get the cheapest rental?
Suppliers add and remove cars continuously, so prices and choice change between searches.
