Lanzarote Car Hire

Have you ever arrived in a place and gone to get your car and they don’t have it available? Have you been charged extra for an upgrade you didn’t want because none of your size cars are available?

This is actually what is happening over the last couple of years in Spanish car hire because banks have cut credit lines and companies cannot renew the fleet as they would like but they have obligations to sell old stock.

This can be a major problem on an island like Lanzarote so we are happy to annonce that we have actually found a company that honours its prices even when your car isn’t available, and luckily they almost always have the car available because they have a decent booking system for Lanzarote Car Hire and never overbook. We have also managed to find a Lanzarote car hire company that have a personal touch. You request what you want rather than going through a long winded form leaving details etc… and they get straight back to you with details of availability and price.

This personal service is only available through our approved Lanzarote car rental company so take advantage of it when you go on your Lanzarote Holidays. Prices are extremely reasonable and the freedom of a car on the paradise island of Lanzarote will allow you to explore the hidden parts that other tourists may not be able to reach away from Playa Blanca Lanzarote’s main tourist area.

Hotels in Lanzarote

When you are looking for a Lanzarote Hotel you should bear one thing in mind, they are generally very good. Very few people are disappointed in their hotel experience in Lanzarote. Again it was the restrictions on rampant building put in place by Cesar Manrique that mean that the development of the island was restrained compared with other places.

The variety of hotels in Lanzarote is therefore not as wide as in other places. The majority of hotels are of the three star and upwards variety and have luxury accommodation available. Therefore holidays in Lanzarote involving hotels are generally more expensive than renting villas in Lanzarote or getting an apartment in Lanzarote or even going to an aparthotel on the island.

The jewels in the crown of Lanzarote hotel provision can be found on Trip Advisor and many other websites but we will be bringing you the best here.

Apartments in Lanzarote: A Good Alternative?

Last year I was offered a set of apartments in Lanzarote at ridiculously low prices, you can see a picture of the apartments below. The return on investment would have been great but I didn’t have the money to make the investment unfortunately.

I was being offered whole complexes and this is one of the great things about Lanzarote Apartments, there are so many yet the place is not overdeveloped. Playa Blanca, Lanzarote is the main place where the apartment blocks are situated. They are excellent developments with good quality accommodation and walking distance to the beach at the aforementioned Playa Blanca. This is important because it negates the need to get Lanzarote Car Hire as you may need to if you are hiring villas in Lanzarote.

Staying in a town also has the advantage of having everything to hand, the shops and bars are walking distance and you are never far from something to do without actually having to get the car out.

The price is also a good deal less than villas in Lanzarote. However you must realise that many of the apartment complexes in Lanzarote are block booked by the holiday tour companies that serve the island so again it is important to book early to avoid disappointment.

Positives and Negatives of Lanzarote Travel

Lanzarote Travel is something that many of us would like in life as it means that we are no longer part of the main herd. People aspire to be able to travel to Lanzarote as the island of Cesar Manrique has been kept as more of a Paradise Island than many of its rivals.

Why would you want to experience Lanzarote travel? Let’s start by looking at the Pros;

The leading point in favour of Lanzarote travel is that it is still relatively cheap despite the distance. The second supporting point is that there are a huge variety of air companies ferrying passengers to and from the island. A 3rd favourable point is that Lanzarote accommodation on arrival is unsurpassed with hotels, apartments and villas in Lanzarote allowing a wide choice of stay. A fourth big benefit is the quality of the hotels. Because of the strict guidelines and restrictions placed on development in Lanzarote the island is not at all overdeveloped unlike much of the Mediterranean coast. Lastly you are flying to a place that understands your culture yet is a bit more exotic that your run of the mill holiday destinations.

Just to balance things up let’s listen to the opposite side, the “Con” side:

The first point in contra for Lanzarote travel is that the distances involved are greater than the majority of the Med and children on planes for four hours may get really bored. Sort this by getting an iPad and some games and films. The 2nd point in contra is that it is a tropical climate and therefore may be too hot for some people. Finally, the last point against it is that you have more limits on your mobility. Obviously being an island there are limits to where you can go.

So there we have the arguments from each side.

So, in the final analysis is Lanzarote travel a good thing? or a bad thing?

Ultimately it is the individual who decides however Lanzarote travel is affordable, different and satisfying in the end so I would come down on the pro side (But I would say that wouldn’t I?)

Top 3 Tips for Renting Villas in Lanzarote

No matter what your dates and how you are going to arrive here, you may need helpful advice, tips and hints, pointers that will help when you are looking to rent villas in Lanzarote. It will likely be much simpler to do when you know what to do and what to steer clear of. Here are 3 key things that may help you. Using these pointers your chances for getting a better deal are going to be much higher.

When renting villas in Lanzarote, it truly is essential that you do things the right way. If you do not, the holiday might end up being a mess. You could possibly find yourself in a place without basic amenities or not ready for short term rental, and even well out of town without transport. Listed below are 3 methods for obtaining the best results.

1. Always ask the location and check it on Google Maps

You will need to ask the location and check it on google because it avoids the worry of being out in the sticks when you arrive. Failing to accomplish this can mean that you have to rent a car for the whole of your visit when otherwise you could be within walking distance of the beach and shops. So take care and avoid making the error of missing this critical step!

2. Ask about what is in the villa and what is needed to be brought

Very nearly as critical as checking the location when hiring villas in Lanzarote is asking about the villa’s basics . I’m letting you know, this is simply not a thing to neglect. It helps to know that all sheets and blankets are there, along with an iron and ironing board, plates dishes etc because simply put it is impossible to bring them to a villa holiday in Lanzarote. You have to come by plane and have a weight limit. This is something everyone involved in renting a Lanzarote villa must know before coming

3. Make Sure Everything Works Correctly

Last of all, when renting villas in lanzarote you should ensure that everything works correctly. Ask about the boiler, the utensils in the kitchen and white goods. This can make the owner keep more on top of any repairs and they immediately fix the problem. Ask whether they have a handyman available in case something goes wrong. If you do not follow these steps, you may be sorely disappointed on arriving – and I think we both know that wouldn’t be a good thing! You don’t want your holiday ruined before you really start it.

As I pointed out at the start in regards to renting villas in lanzarote, you want to ensure you never make errors which finally end up with you renting a place without basic amenities or not ready for short term rental, and even well out of town without transport. What you want is a good comfortable place that acts as a base for you while on holiday and does everything that you would want it to do. You will make that happen by being attentive to the recommendations here.
