Hiring a car at Lanzarote airport
Lanzarote is an island made for the hire car: the bus covers Arrecife and the tourist south well, but for Timanfaya, the north (Jameos, Mirador del Río), the Papagayo beaches or the inland villages, a car changes everything. That’s why hiring a car at Lanzarote airport is one of the first decisions on arrival.
The desks are in the arrivals area of the terminal. And there’s a detail worth understanding before booking: some companies have their desk in the terminal and others at a nearby site with a free shuttle; when booking, check whether pick-up is “at airport” or “with shuttle”.

How it works, and what to check before booking
- “At airport” or “with shuttle”. Check whether pick-up is in the terminal or at a nearby site with a shuttle. It changes the time on arrival and on return.
- Deposit and excess. Almost all block a deposit on your card; the amount and the insurance cover vary a lot from one to another.
- Fuel. Full-to-full is fairest; photograph the car before leaving.
- Book in advance. In high season the price rises and available cars drop; booking ahead is a lot cheaper.
