I know most firms allow free pick up at airport but do any have pickup at ferry? Plus two hires of a week each will cost more than 1 hire of two weeks. I was hoping to find one 2week car + ferry charge and see if it was better value the 2x 1week car +passenger ferry charge +taxi. |

Very very nice place. One day (just one) we go in Fuerteventura by our hired car without problems (except the ferry price...). My preferences are for Lanzarote... Fuerteventura has long beaches, but big buildings everywhere, not very nice for me. Lanzarote has a plan that forbid big buildings, and all are white painted, very nice. If you are a surfer or you plan to stay one week to take sun on a beach everyday, Fuerteventura is OK, but If you like to visit many different places and to go on beach everyday, but NOT all day, Lanzarote is far better. We hired a car from 'Nova rentacar', an Internet broker that normally rents cars from Alamo. Now I feel better with 'AutoEurope', another broker. You can find both easy with Google. Lanzarote rentals are cheap, and also gasoline is very very cheap (is a tax-free Island). Good Travel. Ciao, Piero. |

They also allow Tenerife to La Gomera, incidentally but not between any of the other islands, don't know why. If you have a problem PM us and we'll help. Regards, Graham http://www.ams-link.co.uk |

They also allow Tenerife to La Gomera, incidentally but not between any of the other islands, don't know why. Most people who visit La Gomera do it via Tenerife, as Gomera doesn't have its own airport. So it is a very common thing to arrive in Tenerife, get a rent car and take the ferry over to Gomera. It is not too common to take the ferry from Lanzarote to Fuerte, as both islands have their own airport and the typical tourist won't travel between them (you take the direct flight to the island you want to go to). For the OP: I would also check the prices for a flight from Lanzarote to Fuerte. It maybe ends up cheaper than the ferry with the car. And you can rent cars on literally every corner both in Fuerte and Lanzarote. And you get a chance to have a look at the car *before* you rent. Regards, Frank |
