Playa del Ingles car rental through this site is delivered to an address in the resort or collected at the airport. Playa del Ingles is part of the municipality of San Bartolome de Tirajana, and this page's form opens that municipality's delivery search. Delivery to the exact address is confirmed for the chosen car.

Collection at the airport gives a car from the first day, and each car there states whether it needs a physical credit card in the main driver's name. The drive from the airport to Playa del Ingles is about twenty seven minutes.

Do I even need a car in Playa del Ingles?

Maspalomas is about eight minutes from Playa del Ingles by road, Meloneras about ten, Puerto Rico about twenty one and Puerto de Mogan about twenty seven. Las Palmas is about forty seven minutes north.

Roque Nublo is about forty kilometres inland and about sixty two minutes by the routed drive from Playa del Ingles.

On your island sightseeing routes, Puerto de Mogan to Agaete is about ninety three minutes and Agaete to Teror about forty five. The minimum chargeable period for any rental is 24 hours.

Where exactly is the car delivered?

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

The phone number given at booking, with its country code, must be reachable the day before delivery and throughout the rental. Service-quality claims are not accepted when the renter could not be reached by phone or by Viber, WhatsApp or Telegram.

How is this different from picking up at the airport?

Airport collection is a separate search, with the car met in arrivals and the supplier's instructions on the voucher. The return drive from Playa del Ingles to the airport is about twenty five minutes.

The delivery cars and the airport cars are different sets of cars. Each car in either search shows its transmission, seats, mileage terms, deposit, card requirement and whether it cancels free.

What do I need to have with me?

The main driver meets the delivery with the physical licence, valid to the end of the rental and with its details in Latin script. Copies and electronic licences are not accepted. Where the chosen car requires a credit card, it is a physical embossed card in the main driver's name.

A car booked as a rental without a deposit can still be refused at the meeting if the driver falls short of its minimum age or driving experience. Both are listed on each car's page and can differ between similar models.

Where do I park once I have it?

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

Under the fuel-return and rental-duration conditions, the car goes back with the fuel level it was delivered with, and a tank returned fuller earns nothing back. A lower level is charged at the rental company's rates.

To extend, inform the rental agent in advance. A car returned so dirty that it hinders inspection is washed at the renter's expense.

What should I know before driving out of the resort?

The GC-1 runs west from the resort coast to Puerto de Mogan and north past the airport to Las Palmas, with a top speed limit of 120 km/h.

From Playa del Ingles up to the mountains, every leg of an outing must be on paved public roads to meet the island's driving conditions. Fuel, tolls, fines and parking on the way are paid by the renter.

Standard insurance does not cover damage to the wheels, undercarriage, windscreen or interior. What a higher level of cover adds is stated on the car.

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.

Why does this page open the San Bartolome de Tirajana search?

Playa del Ingles is in the municipality of San Bartolome de Tirajana, the booking tool's name for this delivery point. The car is delivered to the address you give, and the delivery cost is shown on each car.

Should I keep a car throughout a beach-focused stay?

A rental can cover selected days of the stay. The minimum charge is 24 hours, and Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon is charged as two full days.

Will an airport offer also be available for resort delivery?

Not necessarily. Airport collection and San Bartolome de Tirajana delivery are separate searches with separate cars, and each car sets its own deposit, card and cancellation terms.

Is the drive to Roque Nublo a short resort outing?

No. The routed drive from Playa del Ingles is 40.2 kilometres and 62 minutes, against 8 minutes to Maspalomas.

What makes an address ready for delivery?

The car is delivered to the address you give inside San Bartolome de Tirajana, with the delivery cost shown on the car. The main driver receives it with a physical licence and, where the car requires one, a physical embossed credit card in their name.
