CENTAURO Car Rental at Lanzarote Airport

Lanzarote Airport handled 7.3 million passengers in 2018, and is located on the island of Lanzarote, one of Spain's famous Canary Islands. The airport is also know as the Guasimeta Airport, as it is very nearby this area of the island, and has the official airport code of ACE. Arrecife, the capital city of Lanzarote, is just five kilometers from the airport, and the popular holiday destinations of Playa Honda, Playa del Cable, Puerto del Carmen and the Costa Teguise are within easy driving distance as well. Passengers arriving at Lanzarote Airport will need a rented car for travelling the island, and the Lanzarote Airport car hire companies include the services of Centauro. Centauro is one of the local rental companies available, and a popular choice for those in need of car hire.

Centauro, along with other internationally recognized and local car rental companies, can be found in the arrival areas of the airport, nearby the baggage reclaim areas. Lanzarote Airport consists of two terminal buildings, with Terminal 1 as the main passenger facility handling all flights from international destinations, and the majority of domestic traffic as well, whereas Terminal 2 is only used for inter-island flights, but is nonetheless a very important part of the airport's operations. Both terminals can be considered as new constructions, with an easy-to-navigate design and plenty of facilities for arriving and departing passengers. Passengers in need of Centauro's car hire services can go directly to their rental counters in order to arrange a vehicle, or book a car in advance, from an online source.

Centauro Lanzarote Airport is open from 07:00 to 22:50, seven days a week, and offers a wide range of quality vehicles. All their cars are arranged into various car categories, for example, Economic, Intermediate, Automatic, Family, Minibus and People Carrier, and each category contains a number of various sized vehicles. The Economic category is ideal for customers who require a small to medium sized car, which is easy to drive and light on fuel. Some examples of vehicles in this category are the Ford Ka Titanium, Ford Fiesta Trend, Fiat Grande Punto, Opel Corsa, Volkswagen Polo and Ford Fusion. Customers hiring a car must ensure that they know which type of fuel to use, as certain cars take petrol and others diesel. The wrong fuel used could result in extra charges added to your rental agreement for cleaning of the engine.

All rented cars are offered with a full tank of fuel, and customers will have various fuel options depending on the length of their rental. For shorter rentals, of three days or less, most car hire companies do not require the customer to pay for a full tank, but the vehicle must be returned as it was rented. Customers hiring for longer periods will usually pay up front for a full tank, and may return the vehicle as empty as possible, as no refunds are given for unused fuel. On Lanzarote Island, motorists will find an excellent road network which is in good condition, and plenty of fuel stations along every route. From the airport, the LZ-2 motorway provides access to Arrecife just to the north, as well as Puerto del Carmen, located to the south.

Intermediate vehicles available from Centauro include the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, while cars ideal for families are the Ford Focus Familiar, Ford C-Max, and Citroen C4 Picasso. Most vehicles have a manual transmission, but there is a category with automatic vehicles, such as the Ford Focus 1.6 Auto, Volkswagen Passat 2.0 Auto and Ford S-Max Trend Auto, for hire from Centauro. Automatic vehicles may also be used by customers who have requested hand controls from Lanzarote Airport. Hand controls are free of charge, but should be reserved in advance because of limited choice.

Other Lanzarote Airport car rental options include the larger Mercedes Vito, with room for nine passengers, and the Opel Zafira, Ford Galaxy and Mercedes Viano found in the People Carrier category. Vehicles from Lanzarote Airport can be arranged as a one way hire as well, which is a very convenient option for customers who will not be returning to the airport when their car rental agreement expires. A one way hire may have additional costs, depending on the length of the rental and the return location of the vehicle. Customers of Centauro should just confirm if the rented car can be taken off the island of Lanzarote, onto a ferry, if this is part of their travel plans. Sometimes it is permitted, but with additional insurance. Lanzarote has an excellent road network, with roads in good condition leading to all areas of the island. From the airport, motorists can drive north on the LZ-2 motorway to Arrecife, or south, on this motorway to Puerto del Carmen and other locations.

Centauro requires their primary renter to be at least 21 years of age, and to have a valid drivers license. Foreign renters, according to Spanish Law, will require an International Driving Permit. This document must accompany the local license, as it does not qualify as a driving license on its own. If the quote provided from Centauro does not include vehicle insurance, it is the responsibility of the primary renter to arrange adequate coverage for the vehicle, and all payments are made by a major credit card in the name of the primary renter. At some rental locations, customers may also use a debit card for payments. All further information can be obtained from Centauro, at Lanzarote Airport.
