Gran Canaria Mini Guide
Gran Canaria is a great option for those wanting to explore beyond their resort. Public transport is possible, however getting to more remote parts of the island far from straight forward. We have a large fleet of rental car vehicles available at Gran Canaria Airport. This is very convenient for people who want low-cost transport as soon as they arrive. Make sure you book as early as possible to obtain the cheapest deals. Make use of your rental car by touring the island via a series of highways throughout the island which include the superhighways GC1 and GC2, dual carriageways and a number of routes into the mountains.
If travelling with children a tip is to bring your own car seat to put in the Rental Car and you can save on average 50 euros.
