Top tips for hiring a car in Arrecife
- When you hire a car in Arrecife, you’re not just giving yourself the freedom to explore this beautiful port city - the entire island of Lanzarote is at your fingertips too. Once you’ve spent a few days lounging on the beach and discovering main attractions like the Castillo de San José, the César Manrique Foundation and the Charco de San Ginés, you can venture further afield. The volcanic landscapes of the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya are hard to forget or you can cool off at the Cueva de los Verdes – an impressive 3000-year-old cave. They’re both reachable within a 30min drive of Arrecife.
- Arrecife is an easy 4-mile drive from Lanzarote Airport, which hosts a range of top car hire firms. Find the likes of Avis, Hertz, Europcar and more in terminals 1 and 2. You can pick up your car hire in Arrecife from either terminal and be on the road in a matter of minutes. Take the LZ-2 east as soon as you exit the airport and you’ll be in the centre of the city in around 10min.
- There are certain areas in Arrecife, such as the Charco de San Ginés, that are designated for pedestrians, although you’ll still have to keep an eye out for wandering tourists during busy periods. Streets can be narrow and sometimes only allow one-way traffic, so take extra caution when picking your way through the inner city. In general, traffic is light, and roads are well-maintained and signposted. If you’re driving abroad for the first time, you may find adding a sat nav to your car hire in Arrecife helpful. Remember to drive on the right side of the road and be careful at roundabouts and junctions.
- Arrecife is not a heavily touristic area like other parts of Lanzarote and does not generally experience rush hour traffic. The surrounding roads may be busier than usual during the height of the summer season, especially to and from the airport, although it’s often nothing to worry about. Motorways are light in traffic, wide and pleasurable to drive, without exceeding two lanes. It can be particularly hot here, so it’s always recommended to carry water in your Arrecife car hire. The Guardia Civil checkpoints are regular at roundabouts and junctions, so watch your speed and wear your seat belt at all times.
- Book your rental car in Arrecife at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Arrecife are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Arrecife
What type of car is recommended for driving in Arrecife?
A compact economy vehicle (with air conditioning) is ideally suited to trips to and from the beaches in Arrecife and exploring the surrounding areas. If you’re going to be travelling around the entire island, a 4x4 is better suited to the winding roads. Of course, you can opt for a convertible for an injection of style and a cool breeze out on the road.
What’s the speed limit in Arrecife?
The speed limits in Lanzarote are the same as in the rest of Spain. In built up areas like Arrecife, it’s usually 50km/h (30mph), unless otherwise indicated. On dual carriageways and motorways, a limit of 120km/h (around 80mph) normally applies. Mobile speed traps are common across the island and there are fixed cameras to watch out for on the LZ-2 between Arrecife and Playa Blanca.

In Arrecife, on-street parking can be somewhat of a challenge, with spots close to the beach rarely available. The underground car park at the Gran Hotel has many spaces at reasonable rates, around €6 (£5.20) for 4h, and it’s such a prominent building that it’s easy to find your car again after.
