Explore Fuerteventura Through Fuerteventura Car Hire

Fuerteventura is an incredible island with unexplored corners of difficult access, especially for ordinary vehicles, 4 × 4 being the most common car that can get to certain spots. This naturally makes it a destination of great beauty and very attractive to tourists from around the world and especially to the Spanish people who come from the peninsula.

Despite having a good public transport for exploration, a car is essential in Fuerteventura. To rent one, you must be 21 years old and have at least two years of valid driver's license, that is the general rule, however, the rule varies because some Fuerteventura car hire companies are lowering the minimum age to 18 years old, while other Fuerteventura car hire companies require at least 25 years old.

Licenses accepted by Fuerteventura car hire companies are those of the EU countries in general, but some Fuerteventura car hire companies also agree to accept driver's licenses from the U.S., Canada and other countries outside Europe. Most of the Fuerteventura car hire companies offer, as a rule, discounts if the booking is made in advance through internet through their websites.


In Fuerteventura, there are places where ordinary vehicles cannot access, although roads are generally good, often have beach sand, making them dangerous at high speeds. Moreover, the fuel is cheaper than in the peninsula and there are several gas stations along it, however, they may not accept credit card payments.

Inquire with your Fuerteventura car hire company if you can take the vehicle by ferry to the neighboring island of Lanzarote, this allows you to move several islands without having to rent several different vehicles or contacting and negotiating with other Fuerteventura car hire companies.

In Fuerteventura, and the rest of the islands, the major car hire companies are based at the airport of Fuerteventura, where there are both international and local car hire companies like Europcar, Hertz, Avis, where they have strong presence in the island.
