Pro Tips

How to find a cheap car rental in Gran Canaria?

if you car considering finding the cheapest car rental deal at Gran Canaria (Spain), we advise you to take into consideration those 12 factors that influence the rental car price :

Car-2rent offers unbeatable car hire deals in Gran Canaria (Spain). Our platform compares over 550 top providers like Hertz, Avis, and Europcar, ensuring you get the best rates without hidden charges. Whether you're after an economy or luxury vehicle, our easy-to-use car hire search engine finds the cheapest deals worldwide. Enjoy benefits like unlimited mileage and debit card acceptance. Booking your car rental in Gran canaria (Spain) is now simpler and more affordable with Car-2rent.

Book your car at the same location for both pick-up and drop-off

Select the same return place for your car rental pick up and drop off, in this case Gran Canaria. This is one of the major factors that influence a lot your car rental price.

Book your car rental in advance

Book your car rental in advance to have the cheapest price and the early discount

Choose a manual rather than automatic transmission vehicle

We all know the driving comfort of an automatic transmission car, meanwhile, be aware that choosing such a car for your rental will increase the price of your car rental. Go for a manual transmission it will be cheaper and you will get a better deal.

Select the correct car category to get the cheapest deal

Each car class category have different prices, if you are looking for a cheap car rental focus on the lower class and get the cheapest price

The location of the rental company can affect the cost of your rental (airport, city center, or train station)

Depending on the car rental agency localisation in Gran Canaria, the price can vary a lot. If you are flying to Gran Canaria, focus on renting a car directly from the Gran Canaria airport because airport car rental deals are often way better than the quote you can get in Gran Canaria city center. As well, you will avoid the hidden cost of airport transportation to the city centre, the waiting time…

Car rental insurance is not an option

For some, contracting car rental insurance is not an option. Consider that the more experienced the driver, the more chances to save on car rental insurance.

Choose the appropriate car rental company

From one car rental agency to another, the price can vary by 20% to 30%. It depends on several factors like the car rental fleet available in Gran Canaria, localisation, company pricing policy… If you are renting a car from Gran Canaria airport, the car rental deals can vary depending on the agency pick up location inside the terminal or outside by commuting with a bus.

Are you planning to drive your rental car across a border?

If you are crossing a border with your car rental, you need to mention it to the agency desk on your pick up. This will in most cases include an extra cost per rental day. We recommend having the best deals to rent a car in the country of use.

Pick the most suitable fuel type for your rental car

The fuel type of the car is very important, opt for a Diesel car to benefit from a lower car rental budget. Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol. We still do not recommend hiring a Hybrid car due to the lack of recharge stations.

Be aware of the car rental company's mileage policy

The car rental agency mileage policy is an important factor to take into consideration as well. Most of the agencies will allow you either a certain amount of KM per rental or KM per day of rent. Overpassing the limit will generate extra costs that can be very expensive. Make sure to know how many kilometres you will drive during the rental and choose the unlimited mileage if you are sure to overpass the limit.

Would you like to hire the car for a weekday or weekend?

Most often, on weekdays the same vehicle will cost you much cheaper.

Would you like to rent the car for a one-way trip or round trip?

The one-way deal will always be more expensive than a round trip with the returning to the pickup site.

What is required by law when driving in Spain ?

Which side driving in Spain ?

In Spain, vehicles drive on the right-hand side. For those unfamiliar with this driving style, securing a comprehensive car rental insurance coverage is crucial, especially when navigating in an unfamiliar country. Our online packages offer affordable excess insurance and excess waiver protection, ensuring peace of mind. For more on car hire insurance and international driving permits in Spain, don't hesitate to reach out.

What are the vehicle speed limits in Spain ?

In Spain, standard speed limits by country dictate 30-50km/h in urban areas, 90-100km/h on single-carriageway roads, and 120km/h on dual carriageways and motorways. Note that these can vary for heavy goods vehicles (HGV) and other vehicle types. When renting a car, it's crucial to adhere to these limits for safety.

What is the driving alcohol limit in Spain?

In Spain, the legal BAC limit is 0.05%. Exceeding this can lead to drunk driving penalties including fines and potential imprisonment. For safety, avoid driving post alcohol consumption. Car-2rent.com offers affordable car hire in Spain, eliminating the need to risk hefty fines.

car rental driver policies at

With , how do you add a second driver?

You're never alone behind the wheel when you rent a car. If you're concerned about the cost of adding an extra driver, don't be. Many car rental agencies offer the option to add another person for an additional charge.
The advantage of having your own vehicle is the flexibility of who can drive it and when they are dropped off at home or work after the service is complete with the company's vehicle.

How old do you need to rent a car with ?

25 to 99 years. Young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 might be subject to an additional charge per day.

Which driver's licenses are eligible to rent a car with ?

Keep in mind that many car rental agencies require an International Driving Permit or a translated version of your domestic license if it is not in the Roman alphabet (i.e. Arabic, Greek, Cyrillic or Chinese). This applies to driving licenses from countries that are not part of the international driving license treaty.

Car Rental Fuel Policies

The most common fuel policy for car rentals is "Full to Full", which means that the vehicle will be given to you with a full tank of fuel and you will have to return it with a full tank as well. To avoid any additional charges, make sure to return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel as it had when you received it.

During the pickup, you may be required to leave a fuel deposit or have it charged on your credit card, which will be refunded or released when you return the car with a full tank. If the vehicle is not returned with a full tank, missing fuel will be charged at a higher rate than the local service station and a refuelling fee may also apply. These charges will be payable at the rental desk unless otherwise stated in the rate details.

Car Rental Mileage Policies

When renting a car, it is important to carefully review the mileage policy of each rental agency as they can differ significantly. Some companies may charge you for extra miles after a free mile limit has been reached while others offer unlimited miles that never expire. Before booking, make sure to check the exact number of miles allowed per day of travel to avoid any unexpected fees.

Car Rental Insurance

For most rental agreements, basic insurance is typically included free of charge. You may opt to add on a comprehensive damage cover package when booking your rental or collecting it. However, be aware that this will come at an additional cost and may not be worth the extra expense for peace of mind.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) / Extra is one of the most important options to consider when renting a car. It covers any damages incurred in an accident, such as if someone else's car backs into yours or if it skids off the road into something else. Theft Waiver (TW) insurance also helps protect you if your rental car is broken into, stolen or vandalized during your trip.

Third Party Liability Protection (TP) is also beneficial to have when renting an automobile as it covers damage to your vehicle and injury from accidents with other drivers on the road, as well as property damages caused while driving someone else’s car. I recommend getting third-party coverage because it can save you time and money should any incident occur while renting a vehicle.

Car rental deposit and credit card policies in Spain

When renting a vehicle from certain companies, they may require a deposit upon pick-up. This is not an extra charge; rather, it holds your credit card information on file in case of any damage or loss of equipment during the rental period.
