FUERTEVENTURA CAR HIRE
Enjoy your holiday in Fuerteventura ...
.... but please get out of your resort area to and discover the REAL Fuerteventura!
Car hire is fairly cheap on the island, with several different companies to choose from. There really is no need to book before you leave unless you are travelling at peak times.
Please remember that drivers must possess a FULL LICENCE and be over 25 years of age to hire a car in any of the Canary Islands.
The main roads on Fuerteventura are good, but there are several unmade roads, for example Cofete in the south of the island, and the small road from Corralejo to Majanicho, so it may be worth considering a 4-wheel drive model.
Most hire companies are aware of the condition of the roads and accept that their cars will inevitably be taken "off road" although their terms in the hire agreements forbid this use. Another term in their contracts is that their cars cannot be taken to another island - Fuerteventura to Lanzarote, although this regularly takes place without penalties! If in doubt, ask!
A word of warning: Fuerteventura has only recently introduced traffic lights. Roundabouts are also a fairly new phenomenon which the older generation of Spanish drivers seem to find completely baffling! Most cars travel round in the outside lane, no matter which exit they are taking - be careful as you may well find cars cutting across your exit route!
