MARBESOL Car Rental at Lanzarote Airport

Lanzarote Airport is found on the island of Lanzarote, which is one of Spain's famous Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The seven Canaries are popular holiday destinations, as they are visited for their golden beaches and wonderful geographical landmarks, as well as the many other attractions offered by each. The airport of Lanzarote handles over 4.9 million passengers per annum, and provides an important gateway for many local and international tourists. Although buses and taxis are available from the airport, a rented car from one of the Lanzarote Airport car rental companies is the best way to explore the island. Marbesol is one of the local car hire companies present, and passengers often choose Marbesol for their low rental rates.

Marbesol, at Lanzarote Airport, can be found in the arrival areas of the terminal buildings, and are open during most hours of the day and evening. Passengers can rent a car directly from Marbesol's rental counters, but it is often recommended to make an advanced reservation, which can most easily be achieved over the internet. Lanzarote Airport consists of two terminal buildings, and the car hire companies can be found in the arrival areas of both buildings, nearby the baggage reclaim areas, while the vehicles for hire are parked in the nearby parking areas for each terminal.

Lanzarote Airport car rental companies offer a wide range of quality vehicles, with Marbesol as no exception. Similar to most other companies, Marbesol's vehicles are arranged into various car categories, and customers will therefore be choosing a category rather than a car by its specific make and model. However, if a customer specifically requests a certain type of vehicle, Marbesol will do their best to supply the vehicle requested. Car groups at Marbesol include Economy, Medium, Automatics, Family, Minibus and Cabriolet. The Economy cars are generally smaller models ideal for single drivers and couples, but may also be suitable for families without too many items of luggage to transport. Economy cars are budget-friendly, and may be similar to the Ford Ka and Ford Fiesta.

Medium sized rentals from Marbesol include the Peugeot 207, Ford Fusion, Peugeot 307 and Ford Mondeo, and these cars have more space for luggage, and are the ideal option for most customers travelling in Lanzarote. These vehicles also feature air conditioning, power steering and an audio system, while optional equipment may include car seats for babies and children, luggage racks and a satellite navigation system. It is best to reserve these items in advance, as they are subject to availability. A car seat will be essential for your journey if you have young passengers, as all occupants of a vehicle driven in Spain must wear seat-belts. A satellite navigation system is highly recommended for anyone who is unfamiliar with the road network in Lanzarote, even though the island is not very difficult to navigate. A GPS unit will often also come pre-programmed with an extensive list of points of interest, which can be most useful as well.

The Ford Fusion, Peugeot 307 and Ford Mondeo may come with an automatic transmission as well, should customers choose the Automatics category available from Marbesol. At Marbesol Lanzarote Airport, it may be possible to request hand controls for the assistance of disabled drivers, and this device is used on an automatic vehicle. Hand controls are used free of charge, but should be reserved in advance, at least 48 hours before your arrival at the airport.

Family rentals from Marbesol include the Peugeot 307 Station Wagon and the Ford Focus C-Max, which are both vehicles offering plenty of space for luggage, while an even larger vehicle may be suitable for groups of travelers. The largest vehicle from Marbesol can seat nine passengers, and may be similar to the Mercedes Vito, while there are also vehicles that can seat between five and seven people, for example, the Ford Galaxy. When arranging your vehicle from Marbesol, always specify if it will be a one way hire, or if you will be returning the vehicle to Lanzarote Airport. A one way hire may incur additional costs depending on the duration of the rental, and the drop-off location of the vehicle. Customers who wish to take their hire car to other Canary Islands on a ferry may require additional insurance, and should confirm with Marbesol if this type of journey is permitted.

At Lanzarote Airport the majority of customers renting a car will need to be at least 21 years of age, and to have held a valid drivers license for a minimum period of one year in their country of residence prior to the rental date. Customers between the ages of 21 and 24 are considered to be young drivers, and will therefore pay a higher rental rate in the form of young driver insurance, which is a small amount applicable to each day of car rental, and each underage driver listed on the rental agreement. All foreign visitors are recommended to have an International Driving Permit, as this document is required by Spanish Law, if not by Marbesol. The primary renter will need a major credit card in his/her name for payment of the rental as well. For specialty or luxury vehicles, two credit cards may be required.
