Maspalomas car hire

If you are planning to drive around the coast for the majority of your stay, then a small compact car is the perfect car hire in Maspalomas, as it will make it easier to move around and to park. If you are heading there in the summer season, you might want to consider an automatic car to avoid a high number of gear changes in traffic. Air conditioning will also make summer driving more pleasant, as the island can have very hot and humid days.

The speed limit inside Maspalomas and within its built up areas is 50km/h (about 35mph), while the main motorway around the island has a speed limit of 120km/h (about 75mph). Some of the speed cameras on the island calculate the average speed between two points, and the camera is activated if the calculations show that you have exceeded the speed limit once you pass the second point.

Finding a car park in the Maspalomas residential area shouldn’t be a problem. Car parks marked in white are free, those in yellow are strictly for cars with a resident permit, while those marked in blue need to be paid for at the closest ticket machine. If you are heading to the beach, it can be tricky to find a space along the strip. There is a paid car park on Avenida Touroperador Tui, but you are advised to go early to find a space.
