Car rental Lanzarote

Unlike in the UK, Spain follows the right-hand traffic rule. This means that traffic stays to the right side of the road. So, getting used to the shift in driving orientation should be your first task. Gear up with an automatic car if you're more comfortable with that to begin your journey smoothly.

Climate

Lanzarote boasts a mild dry climate, with average temperatures ranging from 17°C in winter to 25°C in summer. Though much warmer than typical British weather, it’s never overly hot which makes it ideal for a year-round destination.

Speed Limits

Spain has strict speed limit regulations. In urban areas it's 50km/h, non-urban roads - 90km/h, and on highways and motorways – up to 120km/h.

The Charm of Lanzarote

Lanzarote, the northernmost and easternmost of the seven Canary Islands, protects over 500 different kinds of plants, 17 of which are exclusive to the island. Lanzarote is also a UNESCO declared Biosphere Reserve. Its surreal landscapes are nothing like back home!

Road Trips

What better way to really see Lanzarote than with a relaxing drive? We have some route recommendations:

• Route 1: Starting from the capital Arrecife to the mountainous region of Haria, encapsulating century-old traditions.
• Route 2: A coastal drive from Playa Blanca to Punta Mujeres, halting at the sculptural art of César Manrique at Jameos del Agua.

Towns and Attractions

Lanzarote is home to captivating towns and villages. Get close to Lanzarote's unique culture in Teguise, the oldest Spanish settlement on the island. Don’t forget Timanfaya National Park, with its moon-like terrain – a sight you cannot miss.

Currency

Although we're pretty used to pounds back home, it's all about Euros here! So remember to get your currency exchanged before or upon arrival.

End Note

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Pack your suitcase and make the most of your holiday in Lanzarote with a hired car. Dare to be the explorer we know you are, and let the winds of Lanzarote guide your journey. Wishing you a holiday filled with sunshine, sandy beaches, and scenic drives!
