Gran Canaria scenic drives on this page are timed from the airport and from Las Palmas, Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles, Meloneras and Puerto Rico. Your rental on Gran Canaria may travel only on paved public roads. Routed legs between the stops are listed with each drive.
Before the first drive from arrivals, an airport collection arrangement needs a driver who meets the chosen car's minimum age and experience, which can differ even between similar models. Every figure below is a free-flow road time, the larger of two routed passes where two were run.
How should I plan fuel and mileage?
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. Mileage terms are set per car in rental quotes for your trip: some models have no limit, others a daily limit or a total for the rental.
A return trip from the airport to Puerto de Mogan is about one hundred and ten kilometres, and a Roque Nublo day from the airport about one hundred.

Which car suits these roads?
Each car's listing states its seat count and whether it is manual or automatic. Extras on seven-seater rental and every other car are offered per car in the booking: an additional driver, an infant seat, a child seat and a booster seat, each with its own cost, and not every car offers every extra.
Standard insurance excludes the windscreen, and an insured event on a sightseeing day still calls for immediate notice to the agent and a police report under the selected car's insurance and reporting obligations, unless the agent agrees otherwise. Failing either condition cancels the insurance.

The minimum chargeable period is twenty four hours, and a car booked from Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon is charged for two full days.
The car is due back at the return time agreed in the booking. Keeping it longer is an extension, which needs advance notice to the rental agent.
