Car hire in Spain is a very competitive business so it is worth shopping around to get the best deal to meet your particular needs. Our guide to car hire in Lanzarote provides a link to a database of local car hire firms which it can match your requirements against and come up with some quotes. To give you some idea of costs, if you hire a standard range car from Lanzarote Airport for seven days it will cost in the region of £120 (quotation includes collision damage waiver, theft protection, third party liability, VAT, unlimited mileage and airport fees).
Lanzarote Airport is only 5kms from Arrecife which is the island's capital, and it is relatively easy to drive to and from Lanzarote Airport via the Arrecife- Yaiza (LZ-2) road, taking the exit clearly marked at kilometre point number 4. It will take around 45 minutes to drive to Playa Blanca and 20 and 15 minutes to the popular resorts of Puerto del Carmen and the Costa Teguise respectively.
There are bus links on the island, but if you want the freedom and flexibility of travelling to places off the beaten track when it suits you, then hiring a car is the best option.
If you are visiting Lanzarote from a country outside the EU you will need an International Driving Licence issued by your home country which must have one page of information in Spanish.Your "tourist status" in Spain usually applies for three months as far as insurance is concerned, so if you are staying here for a longer period then make sure you check your cover with your broker.
