Gran Canaria

Car Rental Gran Canaria
Car hire Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria lies in the Canary Islands southeast of Tenerife and west of Fuerteventura. It has an incredible variety of terrain to explore for a single island, even if it is the most populated island in Spain.

Enjoy the modern conveniences of laid-back, modern Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Spend your days and nights on Las Canteras, a world top-rated city beach. By day, Las Canteras is 2km of white sand that pierces the heart of the city. It is a seemingly endless stretch of open-air tapas bars and terraces as the sun dips.  

Las Palmas is where African, Asian and European culture blend. due to the islands long-standing history right on the trade routes.

Gran Canaria is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve with plant and animal species found nowhere else. It is the perfect place to hire a car and begin exploring. The island has three distinct climates. These change from a northern tropical green to mountain rainforest and finally a southern desert.

If sports are your thing over 80 different beaches mean endless diving, wind and kite surfing and snorkelling opportunities are nearby.

What to see in Gran Canaria with a hire car

Gran Canaria is “The Island of 1000 Experiences” It has no shortage of journeys you and your hire car can set out on. Here are just a few of them:

The Maspalomas Dune system

This is a unique wild and protected place in southern Gran Canaria. It is over 400 hectares in size and displays a variety of ecosystems. Spend your day in a nature reserve which features a beautiful beach, an ever-changing sand dune system, a palm grove and a salt/freshwater lagoon. The Nature reserve is surrounded by the iconic Maspalomas resort. All you need to do is point your hire car south to the very tip of the island.

Start with the lookout point and information centre at Playa del Inglés’ Hotel Riu Palace in northeast Maspalomas. Once you have learned the background of the area, take the third trail fork through the dunes and down on to Maspalomas beach. From the beach enjoy the lagoon’s diverse wildlife and chill-out in the shade of the palm grove.

Crocodilo Park

Since you have already pointed the rental car to the south, this attraction is nearby. Crocodilo Park features a live crocodile feeding that showcases how strong crocodile jaws really are.

The brave can also experience touching a juvenile crocodile – handled by a staff member of staff.  The show is educational and explains the habits of these animals that once walked planet with the dinosaurs.

The park is privately owned and all money from your tickets is put back into caring for and feeding the animals. This is not your typical animal exploitation attraction. The park is a shelter and is well regarded for its conservation, education and rehabilitative efforts.

There are, at last count, around 300 Nile crocodiles. The star attraction is over 5 metres long. Their collection of reptiles is unique, but certainly not all they have for you to see. They also feature tigers, snake and deer. Check out the macaws and parrots, and, if you are feeling brave, by all means buy some fruit and give feeding the monkeys a try.

Playa de Güigüí

This is an excursion that is not for the faint of heart but is certainly worth the effort if you are up to it. The Playa de Güigüí is at the end of what some have called Gran Canarias Epic Trail located. It is, again, in the south-east in La Aldea de San Nicolás. It is one of the islands most remote and hardest beaches to reach. The wiser, or lazier among us might be tempted to plan ahead and arrange a taxi boat to get you back to the rental car so you don’t have to do the walk both ways.

With views reminiscent of the Grand Canyon in the US or Machu Pichu of Peru, this excursion showcases the extreme beauty of Gran Canaria. After a serious hike in, you are rewarded with the almost deserted black sand beach.  It is beautiful and eerie all at once. Remember, once in a while you just need to take a moment to enjoy life.

Caldera de Bandama

Only 20 minutes drive from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the Caldera de Bandama, a 2000-year-old volcanic crater approximately 976 meters long and 270 meters deep. There is a path that circles the top of the crater and for the adventurous, a trip into the cauldron is highly recommended.

Even if you aren’t in touch with your inner mountain goat, the route around the crater is not difficult. It can, however, be slippery, and given the altitude a little cold. Be prepared, wear good shoes and bring a jacket. The caldera is close to Santa Brigida and the ashy remains of past volcanic eruptions have resulted in rich wine country, great to visit after the dusty trek.

Roque Nublo

Roque Nublo is an 80 metre tall standing volcanic crag, considered one of the largest on earth. It is a famous natural monument located1,813 metres above sea level and protected by UNESCO. Roque Nublo is a short ride in your hire car from La Palma de Gran Canaria. A volcanic eruption formed Roque Nublo over 4.5 million years ago.  It was declared a protected space in 1987.

Roque Nublo is a popular hiking destination and is an ideal viewpoint to take in majestic mount Tejeda. mountain. To start your hike, take your hire car to Degollada de la Goleta, and follow the well-signposted trail. Please keep in mind that it is 3 km round trip to reach Roque Nublo and head back to the car.

The car hire rates change from season to season. In the peak tourist season, cars are more in demand in Gran Canaria so rates increase. This is because when there are fewer tourists and more cars available, rates decrease in the hope that offering discounts will increase off-season rentals.

You should book your car hire in Gran Canaria as early as you can. This is especially true if you plan on travelling during peak season when car rates increase due to reduced availability. If you are concerned about booking in advanced because plans can and do change, don’t worry Car Hire spain.net allows for a full refund up to 24 hours before your booking date.

There are always considerable savings in renting downtown rather than at the airport. Sometimes the car hire rates can be up to 40 per cent cheaper.

Although, it is important to say, that booking ahead of time with Carhirespain.net can save you even more.

There are 10 different major Spanish and International car hire desks to choose from at Gran Canaria airport. In short, you won’t have any trouble finding them in the arrivals hall.
