Las Palmas de Gran Canaria car hires from £4/day

Las Palmas is certainly a city that is best navigated in a small or medium-sized vehicle. Sedans, compacts, and small SUVs should all be quite comfortable on the road. Larger vehicles will struggle with many of the city’s one-way streets, especially in the older parts of town. Streetside parking may also be an issue for larger cars as drivers might struggle to find large enough parking spaces for them.

Speed limits don’t vary much on the island, with the standard speed limit set to 50 km/h (31 mph) in the city and 120 km/h (75 mph) on motorways. Always adhere to posted speed limits.

Parking garages are one of the better options for visitors to Las Palmas, particularly for those who wish to check out the historical areas of the city. Streetside parking is available in varying degrees, but it can become quite scarce and difficult to find in the old town. This is in part because many of the older streets are narrow with limited parking allowed.

When driving around with your car hire you will find that signs are in both Spanish and English for the most part, but getting lost and wasting fuel is an inconvenience nobody needs whilst on holiday, particularly when embarking on a road trip. Hire a GPS navigation kit from your car hire company and make your way around with the shortest routes, avoid congested areas, and never get lost.

When driving with children you will always have to obey the car safety rules. If the child is still a baby they will also need the appropriate baby car seat for their weight group. All car hire agencies have a choice of car seats to hire for small daily fees. It is suggested that a baby under 9 kgs is in a backwards-facing seat, a baby under 18 kgs is in a forward-facing seat and then toddlers and children use booster seats until 12 years of age, or 135 cm, whichever comes first.
