We recommend that you hire a car while in Lanzarote in order to discover the island in a more flexible way and because car hire in Lanzarote is the most economical in Europe.

- Driving is on the Right-hand side.
- Many Petrol Stations do not accept Credit Cards, make sure you carry some cash!
- Always Carry your Driver’s Licence, Passport and Rental Agreement.
- Always wear your Seat belts (front and rear), there is an on the spot fine for non-compliance.
- Speeding and Drink-Driving both carry steep on-the-spot fines.
- In the event of an accident, do not admit liability or part with any documentation or money. Co-operate with the Police and contact the Car hire company.
- Park in allocated spaces.
