Thanks for taking us through the car hire process on FV. Great to hear you own recommendations on the best providers. Very straightforward but some good tips along the way. Thanks for a really useful vlog.

Thank you so much for making this video, it was so helpful. We have been to the Canaries several times last was in 2019 to Fuerteventura and we are booked up to come the end of next April. Before that we are going to Lanzarote at the beginning of this October. We always hire a car and have used Hertz in the past, service and cars have always been good but price was always a little expensive. When looking for a car this time prices are very high and the deposit you have to leave is also very high. I was not aware of the different types of car hire and your video has made life so much easier. We have booked a car with one of the companies you recommended and have got a very good deal for our requirements thank you once again. We hope you are both well and also hope to see some new videos from you in the future, take care for now x

Great video once again ladies 😊 Just booked with Auto Riesen for our 6th trip to 'Foosty' on the 29th Jan. Keep up the good work 😎

Thankyou for another informative video. Always found the car hire places extortionate so have always decided against bothering when we have been over but the companies you've shown in the video are extremely affordable so thankyou again!

Concise, practical information. I'll be crediting this video to the car hire company I use, any viewer should too. Honest info like this deserves sponsorship from decent companies.

Fantastic vlog again ladies. Brilliant information. I used payless when I stayed in Dec/Jan, completely hassle free, lovely car, easy to book and collect - my flight was severely delayed, didn't land until 10:45pm, but one of their agents waited for me to collect the car. Satnavs, I have my own european satnav which doubles up as a dash cam with displayed telemetry details - just in case. Found it useful as I put sevrral hundred miles on the clock during my stay. Favourite journey, the beach road to Corralejo (featured on your vlog I think). Scariest drive, the road south from Betencuria to Pajara - clean underwear required ...

We have used a company called Autos Plus Car several times on the Canary Islands. Booked by internet & paid on pick up. The cars & service were good. The only time we broke down was on Fuerteventura. The car developed an electrical fault. They picked us up and replaced the car without any hassle. We were back on the road in 2 hours. The 4 other times using Plus Car we had no problems.

Great job Amelia. We can't vouch with any recent hire car experience from Cigar but from say 1999 to 2017, twice a year for a fortnight hire and never any hassle at all. It is wise to video the car on collection and when you drop it off but never any problems. They even sent out two guys because I couldn't loosen the nuts off the wheel to change it for a spare after a puncture. No charge, not even for the puncture repair, (but that may have changed) everything a dream. I have nothing to do with Cigar at all we just found after some of the poor experiences with Hertz in Italy, Cigar and their employees were exceptional time after time. Hope this helps somebody.

Great informative video on car hire Amelia, no one has seemed to touched on this subject before, can be a bit of a minefield . I used Payless for years, good service , with desk in the airport. Then tried Pluscar, again good service and a bit cheaper than Payless but business done on the airport car park . However for the last 2-3 yrs, have used Autoreisen, and cannot fault them. Easy process, good prices and good service.

Hi ladies, another great vlog informing us about Feurteventura. I've had 2 holidays cancelled by tour operator this year but hopefully will get their in September. I wondered if you had any information around long term rental properties and potential employment there? Perhaps ideas for another vlog for you!

Hi Laurie, potential employment is obviously a bit tricky at the moment with everything going on. If you speak Spanish it usually opens up a few more opportunities but generally a lot of jobs are long hours and low pay. Some people come out and start businesses but going self employed here is quite different to the UK. Always best to get professional advice before considering a move, especially as the rules will change in January 2021. Sabrina Williams at Canary Admin Services is very good and she has a website if you need more help

Used Cigar last time. Whatever company we have used over the years we tend to get a different type given then booked. Not that it was a problem.We love Corralejo. Reasonable priced restaurant near the harbour with good basic local food. Love the fresh fish! Exploring the island on not such a sunny day is easy to do and recommended. We love to come once or twice a year during the winter months. Just made it home in March before everyone went in lockdown in March. Hope your island is still clear of the virus.

Always hire cars from the airport therefore you have no transfer fees to add. Use Cicars and Pluscars both good experiences, Pluscars slightly cheaper and no queue. Cicars have given me upgraded car every car which is not always best once I had a SUV type which was really thirsty. Pluscars walk onto car park and you are met, do the paperwork there and it’s as simple as that and never had a queue. Last year they weren’t there but a phone call later saw a young Italian lady racing towards us, very apologetic as we weren’t on her list(oops) First time I hired a car was in Corralejo from Cicar office, ordered on line from apartment as it was cheaper. Was told where it was parked up a side street and it was covered in knocks. Went back to the office and was told don’t worry about it as it’s full insurance, I still photographed it. Never had any issues with the cars I’ve had and sometimes I’ve had one for 4 weeks. Would recommend these two companies however due to the car I need this year and the prices I’ve gone with Auto Reisen and I’ve paid for the extra insurance. Great review, great tips and great idea to do a video on car hire which might change others to operate in the same way as these companies.

Risco del Paso, leading to Sotavento Beach in Costa Calma about a 40 min drive south from Caleta is our favourite spot for us. It is very photographed and one of the best beaches in the world and easy to see why. Your breath is taken away.

Hello. Thank you for the wonderful video. Why didn’t you choose the cabriolet ? ( I am only asking because I want to rent it )

Great vid, nice to know. I haven't been for 25yrs but visiting in October with cameras for a photo shoot with my partner. What are the rules/laws on hiring a 4x4 (Jeep Wrangler maybe) ? can you go off the beaten track ie: B roads not the main roads for getting some early morning/evening pics? I was advised not to previously as the excess wouldn't cover breakdown, tyre punctures off the main roads? Any advice would be very helpful, thank you.

Thanks a lot my dear, you just saved me at least 150€ . Today after watching your video I made a reservation, after 1 hour got a confirmation. No deposit payments are required for the deductible , no they require cash deposits or guarantee payments by credit card. Sounds to good to be true? Wonder why ? I'll make a video soon about this company.

Hi We have used Interrent and reluctantly Gold (as I have heard the bad reports). However, on the 4 occasions we have used them the cars have been good and we have never had a problem. We take out an annual excess policy for about £34. The car hire is incredibly cheap - last time < 30 euro for a Fiat 500 on a full to full basis for a week. Our favourite spots are the sand dunes outside Corralejo and El Cortillo.

@AmeliaBolger

You’ve been very lucky by the sounds of it. The hefty deposit is the thing to be very careful of. They are notorious for finding reasons to make deductions and it can make for a very stressful end to a holiday. I’d rather have zero excess and zero deposit personally.

Maybe good to know, I think only cicar and Cabrera Medina are still from the same company. At least according to some reviews Payless is not very trustworthy at all (see trustpilot) and auto reisen has a couple of bad reviews as of recent 08-2022 and isn’t a part of the same company anymore. At least according to the info I found. I went with Cabrera, thanks for the video, made it easy to narrow it down ✌🏼

What do you think about sixt, I have booked with them and am a bit anxious after checking the reviews online

I agree, used them so many times now without any issues 👍

Just avoid the Sixt office in Fuerteventura. I got scammed by them, they charged me for insurances that I explicitly did not want! I paid over 100 euros per day for a small car. And the car was broken and almost undriveable!

Couldn't have put it better! Gold Car will 'sell' you a full tank of fuel at collection so that you can return it empty without any worries. However they charge well above the real cost of the fuel, which is always for a full tank. Who though returns the car with the barest of fuel in the tank, no one wants to run out on the way to the airport. Hence I followed 2 Gold Car drivers in to the filling station right near their office and watched them fill up the next victims cars. Both cars had only about half a tankful put in, but the next hirer will be paying for the WHOLE tank and at a price well above what the cost per litre really was. Having an annual CDW policy is worth it if you intend to hire on more than one occasion. Gold Car practices extend to Sardinia, took us 2 hours to get top the counter there, in order to be overcharged again!

@AmeliaBolger

There’s a website called N332 which summarises all the traffic laws of Spain in English which is handy to read before you come. The roads on the island are not busy so it’s the ideal place to drive on the right for the first time. My main advice would be to assume nobody is going to indicate (so be cautious at roundabouts and junctions) and stick to the speed limit. Most drivers are laid back here and I’ve never seen any road rage so just take it easy, enjoy the view and the locals will overtake if they feel the need. A lot of people are surprised how easy it is to drive here if they’ve not done it before

cicar, cabrera medina and payless are basically the same company. This are local companies, so would be nice if u hire those instead of foreign companies... Canary Islands are amazing, Im from Lanzarote, but sadly I cant say I enjoy this massive tourism. I hope we change how we receive tourists here. It is destroying our islands, and all in the name of money. Money for a few. EDIT: this companies I mentioned have their prices upfront, no extra charges.

Hi Amelia have you got any information on your government about how they feel about the uk saying we have to quarantine for 14 days when back in the uk.We are devastated we had booked for 2 weeks at the start of September now it looks as though this will be cancelled so angry as we would not be able to quarantine when back due to our work situation

Canarian President isn’t happy about it and it seems Madrid aren’t either. They want the Balearics and Canaries excluded based on the data. The problem seems to be the UK locator form not being able to separate the islands from the mainland, so at the moment the UK have no way of tracking arrivals from different areas. This assumes that the UK actually polices this quarantine of course!? There is a lot of noise about this so let’s hope common sense prevails. It’s a terrible decision and potentially disastrous for the local economy here.
