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.

This depends on the rental company you choose on Gran Canaria. Some may provide cars to people younger than 25, but this commonly comes with additional fees.

Check the age policy of your selected provider and if extra costs apply.
