Cheap Car Hire Lanzarote: Best of FindYCar

Like a Mars-inspired beach escape, Lanzarote blends black volcanic landscapes with turquoise seas, while César Manrique’s architecture transforms lava fields into striking attractions. Many visitors stay in bustling resorts such as Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca, but having your own car lets you uncover the island’s surreal interior – vineyards growing in volcanic ash, whitewashed villages perched on dark rock, and landscapes unlike anywhere else in Europe.

Buses crawl slowly between resorts on fixed timetables, and taxis to Timanfaya or the northern beaches cost a fortune for what’s essentially a small island. Here’s why car hire in Lanzarote is essential:

• Reach remote beaches such as the Papagayo coves, Famara’s long sandy stretch, and Playa del Risco, which are difficult to visit without your own transport
• Explore entirely at your own pace, whether you want to linger at Jameos del Agua or make a quick stop at a viewpoint
• Access César Manrique’s iconic sites across the island, including Jardín de Cactus, Mirador del Río and Casa-Museo, with the flexibility a car provides.

Spend a few minutes searching and you’ll find the best hire option on FindYCar. Pay in cash, no deposit, additional insurance, no credit card, guaranteed model, unlimited mileage, and many more choices. Book now.

2. Speed limits: 50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h on rural roads, and 100 km/h on the main LZ-2 highway.

4. All passengers must wear seatbelts; fines can reach up to €200.
5. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05% for experienced drivers and 0.03% for drivers with less than two years’ experience.

Parking

In Puerto del Carmen and Arrecife, blue zones cost about €0.8–1.2 per hour, payable via parking meters or the Telpark app.

Green zones are reserved for residents; parking there can lead to fines of over €60, while white zones are free.

Petrol Stations

Petrol stations outside major towns close early (many around 9:00 pm), and most are closed on Sundays.

Self-service stations with card payment are available in larger towns, where diesel costs around €1.20–1.35 per litre and petrol €1.30–1.45.

There are no toll roads on the island.

All roads, from the main LZ-2 highway to remote coastal routes, are free to use.
