RENT A CAR IN CORRALEJO

In order to help the guests of Ohana Guest and Nomad Surf Camp to discover our island in a practical and effective way, we are writing different blogs that help a little in the organization of your trip. In this case we have written this blog to help you rent a car on our island and pay the minimum.

 

Renting a car in Fuerteventura before COVID was very cheap.

You will be surprised to know that the rental could cost around €7 per day and on most days €12 per day would be an average price, which turned out to be very cheap, so if you were thinking of renting a motorcycle or a bike, the most I'm sure it would be cheaper to rent a car.

 

Currently, prices have run amok due to the problems that companies had to withstand the years of pandemic and tourism crisis. Many cars were sold to be able to capitalize and now with much smaller fleets and with a greater number of tourists, prices have risen. I could not give you an idea of how the prices are because this market is rebalancing but I can tell you that the prices reached the figure of €50 a day. Things are adjusting but from this maximum price to the €7 from before I doubt that it will be easily achieved. Not everything is the fault of Covid, wars and ultimately the rise in raw materials are not helping either.

 

Hoping that when you come the prices will be much cheaper, I advise you to rent at the airport since it is cheaper than in any town and in our case in Corralejo. You can rent online and with that you know the price before you arrive and above all you will not find yourself with the possibility that there are no cars available. If you want to search online, I advise you to look for companies such as Autoreisen, Cicar, Alamo, they are the most recommended companies.

 

If you have not rented online you can go to the offices that are in the same airport and if you do so, remember that you may find that there are no cars available or that if there are, the prices may be a little more expensive than if you did. you do with time

 

So far and in almost all the cases that I have mentioned, you should know that if you do not have a credit card, the rental companies will ask you to take out full coverage insurance and that will make the daily cost much more expensive. Even so, some companies accept a debit card but you must confirm that before hiring.

 

If you make the reservation online, as I advise you, you must be careful with this detail since the reservation with a debit card is accepted by all rent a car companies,  But when you arrive to pick up the car, some will inform you that since you don't have a credit card, what you booked online is not correct and that you will have to pay more because in these cases they will require you to have all-risk insurance.

 

If you are in Corralejo, you could try the Cicar company, which is the only one of the large and recommended companies that also have offices in Corralejo.

I warn you that in Corralejo there are many other offices and some of them with much more expensive prices . It is the offices of the main streets of Corralejo that are waiting for uninformed tourists and thus charge them more. So if they give you prices that you consider expensive, you already have enough information here to get an affordable price.

 

Next I will rewrite an article that I found in the monthly magazine FUERTEXTRA which refers to the valuation of car rental companies in Fuerteventura for the year 2019.

 

-Group Consumer has warned British tourists about car rental companies to avoid this summer. Spanish company Goldcar came last in the rankings for the fifth time in six years, as 38 percent of customers said they would not use the firm again. Two out of five customers reported problems with the operator that attended them, problems generally related to changes in credit cards and poor service. This rental giant, which has a regular rental, is owned by Europcar, which earned criticism for the worst performance of all the major brands. According to the Wich magazine report, the second worst car rental company is Internet and the third is Firefly. Meanwhile , Cicar took first place in the standings followed by Autoreisen and Alamo .

 

We hope that this information from www.ohanaguesthouse information was useful to help you organize your trip to Fuerteventura

 

We would appreciate it if you help us grow and put an opinion in the Google reviews. Many thanks!
