Nothing beats dropping the windows of your rental car and steering down lengthy stretches of road. But before you motor off on a big adventure in Canary Islands, how about learning a little about this tourist hot spot? Get familiar with Spain, because that’s where you’ll need to head to get your adventure rolling.

You might have trouble getting a parking space right out the front of these well-known attractions, but trust us — they’re most definitely worth a little walk. The very best thing about an adventure in Canary Islands is finally crossing these off your to-do list: Cesar Manrique Foundation (6 miles from the center of Teguise) Jameos del Agua Caves (3 miles from the center of Haria) Sotavento de Jandia Beach (5 miles from the center of Pajara)

Canary Islands is the perfect place to take to the highways and back streets in your own set of wheels. Turn up the radio and enjoy the flexibility of visiting all the region’s gems dotted between each of its most famous destinations. Experience some (or all) of this place’s most renowned cities:

Here are the best ways to help you save on a car rental:

• A car can take you wherever you want to go — so can we. Compare the best deals from all the top companies in a couple of clicks.
• Organize an email Price Drop Alert for your next vacation destination. You never know what sensational bargains will whiz into your inbox;
• Before you pick up your car keys and jump behind the wheel, take a look at both airport and non-airport pickup and drop-off locations to make sure you’re getting your hands on the cheapest deal in town;
• If your pickup and drop-off dates are flexible, try getting a better deal by choosing different days of the week in your search;
• See if you can keep your pickup and drop-off times the same. If you return your rental car at a later time than you picked it up, you may be charged a whole extra day;
• Sometimes rental companies reward you with discounts if you pay immediately, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for these kinds of offers;
• It’s best to make a reservation as soon as your vacation dates are set. The early bird gets the worm!

Minis are the smallest car you can rent, and generally, they’re the most economical to run as well. This is exactly why they’re such a favorite with visitors to Canary Islands. Cruise around the streets of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife — you won’t believe the parking spaces you can squeeze into. Despite their size, minis offer a comfortable ride (just so long as you don’t have too many cases!).From dunes to sandy shores and caves, Canary Islands features some dazzling nature. Why not hit the road and take in one or two of them? Hightail it out of the city and arrange some fun excursions. A full-size SUV is ideal for those longer drives. Built to cope with any kind of terrain, these larger vehicles make it easy to hop off the beaten path.

Sometimes the journey is more significant than the destination, which makes your car choice particularly important. If you’re about to embark on an unforgettable road trip around Canary Islands, a robust and stylish SUV could be the perfect solution. If you want the best possible price and plan on sticking mostly to the city, a versatile compact is a wise pick. All you need to do is choose what will suit you best, round up the troops, and rack up those miles.

You’ll have to keep right while driving in Canary Islands. On top of that, take some extra caution if it’s your first time on the road here. Once you have a feel for how the locals drive, relax and enjoy the scenery!

Usually, your rental company will charge the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may provide your contact information to the relevant local authority so they can send a fine directly to you.
