Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) car rental prices

The single terminal is split into zones for national, inter-island and international arrivals, and rental desks sit in whichever zone matches your flight, with cars collected a short walk away in parking area P1. Sixt, Europcar, Budget and Goldcar are among the firms with permanent counters. Demand runs high over winter with northern European sun-seekers as much as in summer.

Prices at LPA move week to week, so there is no fixed answer. As a rule, booking two to three weeks ahead beats the walk-up rate, and midweek pickups are usually cheaper than weekend ones. Compare your exact dates above before you commit.

Like the rest of the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria has no toll roads; the GC-1 south to Maspalomas and Puerto Rico and the GC-2 north toward Agaete are both free motorways. Drive on the right. The GC-1 backs up entering Las Palmas at rush hour, and interior roads toward Tejeda and the central mountains are narrow switchbacks that take far longer than the map distance suggests.

For city trips a compact or economy car is usually enough and cheapest. If you are heading to Maspalomas or Puerto Rico, size up for the luggage and distance. Compare the rate per car type above before deciding.

No. You pay the same price the rental company lists either way. If you book through one of our partner links they pay us a commission, not you, and that is what funds the price tracking.
