About This Site
CanariesCarRental.com is an independent booking service that connects travellers with local vehicle suppliers across the Canary Islands. We operate as a Localrent affiliate, presenting offers from companies based in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma and other islands in the archipelago.
How the Service Works
When you search our site, you see available vehicles from suppliers operating in your chosen location. Each listing shows the supplier name, vehicle category, transmission type and terms. You compare options, select the one that fits your plans and pay an advance online by card to confirm the booking. The supplier then prepares the vehicle and sends a voucher with pickup instructions, remaining balance details and any specific conditions that apply to your reservation.
The rental agreement is between you and the supplier. We facilitate the search and booking process; the supplier manages the vehicle, insurance documentation, pickup logistics and any questions about the terms once your reservation is confirmed.
Why We Focus on the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands present specific travel patterns. Tenerife has two airports - TFS in the south serving Costa Adeje and Playa de las Americas, and TFN in the north near Puerto de la Cruz. Gran Canaria airport (LPA) sits between the capital Las Palmas and the southern resorts of Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles, Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogan. Lanzarote airport (ACE) serves Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca. La Palma is a separate island with its own airport (SPC) and steep mountain roads. Each island is an isolated journey; there are no vehicle bridges between them.
The destination guides focus on choosing a pickup island, comparing airport and resort collection, and planning coastal or mountain journeys.
Coverage Across the Archipelago
Our search covers the main islands and their key arrival points. In Tenerife, you can pick up vehicles at Tenerife South airport, Tenerife North airport and locations in Adeje, Playa de las Americas and Puerto de la Cruz. Gran Canaria pickups include Gran Canaria airport and urban points. Lanzarote listings centre on Lanzarote airport and nearby towns. La Palma options appear when you search that island.
No Deposit and Credit Card Options
Some suppliers offer vehicles with no deposit required at pickup. This means you pay the advance online and settle any remaining balance without providing a hold amount on a card. No deposit is a separate condition from insurance coverage; they are independent terms set by the supplier. Other listings may require a deposit, accept debit cards with sufficient limit or prefer a credit card. The exact payment method and deposit requirement appear in each listing and in your voucher after booking.
If you do not have a credit card, look for listings explicitly available without a credit card and confirm the accepted payment methods before travel. Check the payment section of the listing carefully before confirming your reservation.
Our Role as a Localrent Affiliate
We do not operate the Localrent platform, manage supplier fleets or verify individual companies. We present Localrent inventory on a dedicated site for Canary Islands searches. The supplier selection, vehicle maintenance and contract terms remain the responsibility of each company and the Localrent system they use.
