The easiest way to get from the airport to your holiday home and the best way to explore the beauty of the island of Lanzarote is to hire a car.
Book your hire car online in advance!!!
The counters of the car hire providers are located in the hall by the luggage belts. These can be used from both sides, i.e. still in the secure area and from the entrance hall.
Tip: While one person is waiting for their suitcases, the other can leave the security area and queue outside. This is usually quicker.
Once the paperwork has been completed, leave the airport hall, cross the zebra crossing right in front of the entrance and go into the multi-storey car park opposite. Most providers have their hire cars parked there on the ground floor. Some also have them on the roof of the car park. The staff at the car hire company will tell you exactly where you need to go.
Our first choice
We have always booked through www.cicar.com and have never had any problems. The cars are always new and in good condition. Returning the car is very quick, as you just hand in the key at the office in the car park and can then continue straight away. No annoying waiting for vehicle collection. The Cicar service includes
Fully comprehensive insurance without excess
Unlimited kilometres
Second driver free of charge
Child seats free of charge
Cancellation free of charge
Free map of the island
If you decide to hire a car later or only want to rent for a few days, there are also a few options in Playa Blanca.
The offices of Cabrera Medina are located in Avenida de Papagayo 2 or in the Marina Rubicon.
Cabrera Medina has another office at the taxi rank in Playa Blanca.
The Cicar office is at the harbour pier (ferry port) in Playa Blanca.
There are other providers in Playa Blanca, but we have not used them ourselves. We recommend the two providers mentioned above.
Refuelling: Prices are at a pleasingly low level. The Canary Islands belong to the ‘Canary Islands’ special trading zone and are therefore blessed with a reduced tax rate. Self-service is unusual, you simply tell the petrol station attendant how much you want to fill up for and he does it for you. Payment is made from the car. This service is included in the price of the petrol.
Directions to the house
Once at the airport, head towards Arrecife / Yaiza.
However, you leave the airport via the exit in the direction of Puerto del Carmen / Playa Blanca. Directly after the Arrecife exit. This leads through a subway and then onto a two-lane dual carriageway.
From here, keep straight on in the direction of Yaiza / Playa Blanca.
We will send you the rest of the description from here by e-mail once we have received the final payment.
Tip: You can do your first shopping on the way from the airport to the bungalow at Lidl in Playa Blanca.
