Canary Islands Tourism Guide - Canaries Car Hire

Cheap Car Hire Lanzarote

Car Hire in Lanzarote is extremely popular (so book in advance via the Holiday Autos cheap Lanzarote car hire link right. If you leave it last minute, or try to book in peak periods you may find yourself struggling to find car hire available!). Lanzarote, like Fuerteventura, is a pleasurable Canary Island to drive around, mostly because it's a relatively flat terrain - Lanzarote lacks the high and demanding mountain driving present on La Palma, parts of Tenerife and the smaller Canary Islands of El Hierro and La Gomera. Roads on Lanzarote are excellent too, and well signposted with signs clearly marked to all the major attractions including the Manrique Foundation and Timanfaya National Park. To really explore Lanzarote in-depth car hire is highly recommended.

Cheap Car Hire Tenerife

Tenerife Car Hire is easy as pie, although driving in Tenerife is more like driving in the UK - frenzied in the cities and urr a little crazy on the motorways! Tenerife Canarios residents like their cars, and a number of projects are afoot, particularly in the urban areas such as Santa Cruz and roadworks on the major motorways to accommodate the large increase in cars on the road in Tenerife over the last decade. Santa Cruz , the capital of Tenerife, is currently in upheaval with work afoot on the tramline network in the city! (as of 2006) For the best cheap car hire Tenerife deals click on the cheap car hire Tenerife link to the right for Holiday Autos abroard, or contact Iknow-Holidays direct on 0871 423 5056.

All the renovations on roads and new public transport ideas should mean that traffic in Tenerife should ease in the next 5 years, but in the meantime be aware that in peak rush hour periods of around 7am and 7pm when local residents are heading to work in Santa Cruz, Puerto de la Cruz and the southern resorts of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas, traffic is particularly heavy. Avoid these times if possible in the major urban areas. Even out of these time periods in the built up resorts of Tenerife expect a considerable amount of traffic, so allow more time for your journeys, and ample time for return to airports. Lots of excursion tour buses, jeeps and car hires also hit the mountain roads, particularly during peak summer holiday times so don't expect to be discovering the Teno mountain range on your own, although heading east towards the Anaga Mountain area is much less congested! Also, if you can find a parking space in Playa de Las Americas late in the day your luck's in!

Budget Car Rental West Canary Islands

Budget car rental on La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro is easy, either through pickup from La Gomera Airport, La Palma Airport or El Hierro Airport (a number of car hire firms are based at all the airports on these three west Canary islands) or from the main resort areas including Valle Gran Rey, Playa Santiago and San Sebastian on La Gomera, and Los Cancajos and Puerto Naos on La Palma. In El Hierro it's easiest to book car hire for pick-up from the airport, as the main centres here, including Tigaday and Valverde are smaller. El Hierro Airport however has a number of car rental firms based there. Most people pick-up their car hire from El Hierro Airport - and pre-book. A small number of cars come across on the ferries too, so for example you can bring your Tenerife car hire with you if you're coming to La Gomera from Los Cristianos on Tenerife.
