When one thinks of a holiday in Fuerteventura, long ocean beaches, windsurfing and crystal clear waters often come to mind. Quite the opposite of an on-the-road holiday, but wrongly so: the island lends itself perfectly to being toured by car, as it is very extensive and it would be a shame to return home without having seen the most beautiful beaches.
Relying on public transport in Fuerteventura is out of the question: of course they exist, but the beauty of this island is the feeling of freedom you get from stopping anywhere, to take a photo or for an hour’s relaxation on the beach, and then leaving again.
For this reason, renting a car in Fuerteventura is the best choice you can make. Not to mention that the cost of renting a car is very affordable, petrol costs very little and parking is free and plentiful.

The answer could be summed up in the number 100, i.e. the kilometres of road that divide the Corralejo dunes beach from the Sotavento beach, the two most beautiful beaches in Fuerteventura and in all the Canaries. Visiting both is practically compulsory, and staying in Caleta de Fuste for example, both are just over half an hour away by car.
Not to mention that renting a car in Fuerteventura gives you the opportunity to visit the villages in the interior, the wild beaches of the west coast, and generally have a feeling of freedom that is hard to equal.
At Fuerteventura Airport you will find the offices of practically all the most popular car rental companies, including many local companies that offer favourable prices at the expense of service quality. If you think all you need is four wheels and a steering wheel, then opt for these without hesitation. Otherwise, if you are more demanding and want luxuries or additional options, rely on the fleet of the classics Hertz, Avis, Europcar or Sixt without any problems.
We recommend that you pick up your car directly at the airport in order to save time and money on the transfer to and from the hotel.
The first thing to consider when deciding to rent a car in Fuerteventura is to understand what you are looking for from your holiday. The main roads on the island are really good, but the secondary roads are narrow and sometimes unpaved, for example the one from Morro Jable to the beach of El Cofete.
In cases like this, renting a small car or a hatchback could prove counterproductive, and would make travelling difficult and stressful. It is better to opt for a 4×4 or an SUV, to make these routes easy and passable without difficulty.
Early booking is essential: renting a car in Fuerteventura is an idea that comes to many, which is why car hire companies tend to raise prices for early bookings.
The secret is therefore to book directly from the Internet months and months in advance. And if plans should change, no problem: cancellation is almost always free, depending on the company chosen. Renting a car in advance not only guarantees the best prices, but also allows more choice among cars, without the risk of being left with few choices.
If you think a rental car is expensive, you will quickly change your mind in Fuerteventura. For a start, the daily rate is much lower than the European average. Furthermore, the Canaries enjoy a special tax regime, which has a high impact on petrol prices: it costs less than one euro per litre and this allows for a considerable amortisation of ancillary costs.
The rules, limits and everything you need to know about driving a car in Fuerteventura are the same as in the other Canary Islands and Spain: read more about them in the sections Driving in Spain and Driving in the Canaries.
In Fuerteventura, we recommend that you hire cars that are tall enough (e.g. SUVs) as you will often have to drive along dirt roads to reach some of the most beautiful parts of the island. You don’t need a 4×4, however, we advise you to avoid cars that are too small and low as some of the roads are really bumpy, strewn with rocks that could cause damage to the bottom of the car. Also keep in mind that, as a rule, car rental companies do not cover damage on unpaved roads.
