What do you need to rent a car on Gran Canaria?
Renting a vehicle on Gran Canaria requires a full, valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you opt out of the rental supplier's insurance plan, you may need your own proof of coverage. Thoroughly check the terms and conditions of your policy to avoid any dramas at the time of pickup.

If you plan to motor around Gran Canaria, ensure you have a valid license and an International Driving Permit. Most rental vehicle companies require both documents before letting you take the wheel.
