Car rental in Maspalomas

Where will the car be waiting?

City delivery brings the car to the address you give inside the town, and the Maspalomas search runs under San Bartolome de Tirajana. The address, meeting time and any delivery charge are confirmed for the selected car.

Airport collection is in arrivals, on the supplier's instructions from the voucher. The routed drive from the airport to Maspalomas is about thirty minutes over thirty five kilometres.

How should I compare the deposit conditions?

Each car's booking details show how its deposit is held and when it is refunded, and the voucher repeats them. The methods for paying the rest of the rental are shown in the same two places.

The booking filters show cars that need no credit card and cars that take a debit card for the deposit. A debit card, where accepted, must be physical, personalised, embossed and in the main driver's name.

Even with car rental without a deposit, what any higher level of cover adds is stated on the car itself, offer by offer. Standard insurance does not cover damage to the wheels, undercarriage, windscreen or interior.

Where should I leave the car during a beach day?

Blue parking markings mean paid parking and white markings free parking. Parking charges and fines during the rental are paid by the renter.

The approach to a beach stop stays on the paved public roads allowed by the rental conditions, so sand and dirt tracks to the shore are off limits. A car returned so dirty that it hinders inspection is washed at the renter's expense.

Which journeys fit into a day from Maspalomas?

From Maspalomas, Meloneras is about eight minutes, Puerto Rico twenty one and Puerto de Mogan twenty seven by the routed drive. Puerto de Mogan is about twenty four kilometres away.

From Maspalomas, Roque Nublo is about sixty five minutes over roughly forty two kilometres. From Maspalomas, Teror is about sixty seven minutes over sixty nine kilometres, and Agaete seventy seven minutes over eighty eight.

On a coastal sightseeing route, Maspalomas to Puerto Rico is about twenty one minutes, Puerto Rico to Arguineguin about nine and Arguineguin to Puerto de Mogan about nineteen. Those three legs add up to about forty nine minutes of driving.

The return from Maspalomas to Gran Canaria Airport is about twenty eight minutes over thirty four kilometres. To extend, inform the rental agent in advance.

What should the driver check before collection?

The main driver brings the physical licence, valid to the end of the rental and with its details in Latin script; copies and electronic licences are not accepted. Minimum age and driving experience are listed on each car's page, can differ between similar models, and the agent may refuse a driver who does not meet them.

The phone number given at booking, with its country code, must be reachable the day before the handover and throughout the rental. The voucher carries the rental agent's contact details.

The minimum chargeable period is 24 hours, so a car used for a few hours is charged for a full day.

What should be planned for return?

Handing the car back in Maspalomas below its collection fuel level means paying the difference at the rental company's rates under the fuel-return and chargeable-duration conditions. A tank returned fuller than at collection earns nothing back.

After an insured event, the renter tells the rental agent immediately and obtains a police report, unless the agent agrees otherwise; missing either cancels the insurance and leaves the renter fully responsible. Damage caused deliberately, by intentional vandalism or by neglect, voids the insurance.
