Maspalomas car hires from £6/day

If you are planning to drive around the coast for the majority of your stay, then a small compact car is the perfect car hire in Maspalomas, as it will make it easier to move around and to park. If you are heading there in the summer season, you might want to consider an automatic car to avoid a high number of gear changes in traffic. Air conditioning will also make summer driving more pleasant, as the island can have very hot and humid days.

The speed limit inside Maspalomas and within its built up areas is 50km/h (about 35mph), while the main motorway around the island has a speed limit of 120km/h (about 75mph).
