For Gran Canaria cheap car rental, we recommend Dolar Rent a Car. They have been in business since 1967 and give personalized service like no other car rental company. Even government officers choose Dolar when they have a guest coming to Gran Canaria. They deliver cars which have been thoroughly cleaned, and their staff is friendly, cheerful, and punctual. You can rent a small car from them or vans where 9 people can fit comfortably.
Normally cars sold in Gran Canaria don’t come with a GPS nor hands-free kits (it is banned to use bluetooth headset devices in Spain while driving). If you require these, please let them know and they will get you a car with these, for a small fee. They can also supply baby chairs. If you don’t feel like driving, they will also supply the driver. What more can you ask for?
1) Personalized service: This is all clearly visible in the small details. You are treated as a family member.
- When you phone, you know there will be someone to attend you immediately.
- No waiting in line at the airport counters to be attended.
- If your child starts to cry in the car, and you deliver the car ten minutes late, your credit card won't be automatically charged for an extra day. Try explaining that to the big car rental companies!
2) Transparent and honest pricing: You will be informed upfront of the total cost of the rental. Some dishonest car rentals in Spain tell you about hidden costs only after you have arrived and given them your credit card details. Such surprise costs include extra charges for insurance and unreasonably high price of petrol in the tank. Here you get a 1/4 tank full and have to return the car with 1/4 tank full.
3) Total insurance package included. If your car breaks down, or has any other problem, a tow-truck will be sent, plus a free taxi for your family, to take all back to the hotel. If you park your car, and when you come back and see that someone has broken your mirror, no need to worry, as that is also included.
4) Flexible payment options: Scared of giving your credit card number on the phone or over the internet? That's no problem. You can pay with cash when you arrive. They'll even take British pounds.
5) Flexible pick up and delivery options for your car: Your car can be picked up and delivered at the airport or at the hotel. There is a small ten euro surcharge for delivery and pick up to hotels in the south of the island, because Victor's car rental is based in the capital, Las Palmas, located in the northeast.
6) Stable prices all year round: Most rentals will raise the prices in peak season, Dolar doesn't.
