Location information for Lanzarote

Introduction

Lanzarote is the most eastern and fourth largest of the Canary Islands. Like the other islands, Lanzarote is of volcanic origin. It's soil is therefore mostly made of black lava, which does not mean that its beaches all consist of black sand, there are also beautiful white beaches. The most beautiful are found on the east and south of the island. The artist Cesar Manrique lived on Lanzarote; there are many small and seven large works of art of his hand on the island. It is thanks to Manrique's resistance to mass tourism on the island that high rise buildings are no allowed on Lanzarote. Its vegetation consists mostly of cacti and palm trees.

Population

The island has 110,000 inhabitants, almost half of whom live in the capital Arrecife. The number of tourists is limited, and more than 80,000 visitors are no allowed to be on the island at one time.

Location

Lanzarote is 60 kilometres long and at its widest point about 25 kilometres wide. It is located to the east of Fuerteventura and at 125 kilometres from the coast of Morocco. It is the driest of the Canary Islands, and it is sometimes even hit by sandstorms from the Sahara Desert. To the north of the island lies the Chinijo archipelago: a few small islands that form a nature reserve with the north coast of Lanzarote.

Economy

Tourism is the backbone of the economy. About 90% of the working population is in some way - directly or indirectly - dependent on the one and a half million tourists that visit the island every year. A fishing village like Puerto del Carmen has developed into a tourist centre. However, the original way of life - fishing - has not vanished completely. In addition, there are vineyards in the island; its wines are considered the best of the Canary Islands. Other forms of agriculture (mostly onions, tomatoes and potatoes) play a secondary role.

Airports

Arrecife Airport is located five kilometers to the west of the capital along the road to the popular seaside town of Puerto del Carmen. Most chartered flights arrive on Thursday, which is the busiest day at the airport, which means people sometimes have to wait long for their luggage. There is a bus connection between the airport and Arrecife, but the last bus leaves at 7 pm. After that, it is either a taxi or a rental car.

Public Transport

There are regular bus connections between the various seaside towns and the capital Arrecie. There are also plenty of taxis, which are much cheaper than on the Spanish mainland. Sometimes they drive to certain destinations for a fixed rate, sometimes they turn on the meter. Make sure you arrange that in advance!

From Arrecife there are many ferry connections to the other Canary Islands and to Cadiz on the mainland of Spain.

Traffic and Parking

Driving on Lanzarote may take some getting used to. Cars have a habit of suddenly slamming on the break, taking a turn or making a U-turn without giving any prior warning. Keep enough distance and expect the unexpected - especially in the countryside - like people or animals on the road.

In the centre of Arrecife and the busy holiday resorts it may be hard to find a place to park. Parking is not allowed at curbs with a yellow or white line. A blue line indicates that you have to pay to park. The local population parks their cars anywhere where it is convenient. Do not follow their example! Also, do not park in front of a garbage dumpster. They are collected all day long and if your car is in the way it will be towed away. There are no signs saying that you cannot park there, but the local population knows.

Hotels

Most visitors go to holiday resorts on the coast. Puerto del Carmen is the busiest tourist location. There are many hotels and apartments, but as we mentioned in the introduction, there are no mass hotels like on Gran Canaria or Tenerife. If you want quiet, there are many possibilities to rent a cottage in the interior and sometimes also on the coast.
The number of tourists on Lanzarote is limited, and as a result so is the number of accommodations. During peak season you have to book your accommodation in advance.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?
