Lanzarote Car Rental
Considering the cost of taxis these days it's not a bad idea to consider
renting a car at Lanzarote airport on arrival. On our last visit to the
island we found that a return taxi fare to Playa Blanca was about the same price
as renting a car for the week. Of course there's the additional cost of having
to fill up with petrol on returning the car but considering the short distances
in Lanzarote this cost is negligible.
Getting around the island is very straightforward and having a car during your
stay gives you the added flexibility of being able to get out and discover some
of Lanzarote's tourist attractions, its secluded beaches and quiet villages in
the interior. On top of that you can stock up at your local supermarket and
avoid the hassle of carting litres of water (and beer) back to your apartment.
Be warned though ... drinking and driving in Lanzarote is a serious offence so
if you're 'only here for the beer' you'd be better off
booking an airport transfer in advance and let someone else do the driving.
