Arrecife car hires from €8

A compact economy vehicle (with air conditioning) is ideally suited to trips to and from the beaches in Arrecife and exploring the surrounding areas. If you’re going to be travelling around the entire island, a 4x4 is better suited to the winding roads. Of course, you can opt for a convertible for an injection of style and a cool breeze out on the road.

The speed limits in Lanzarote are the same as in the rest of Spain. In built up areas like Arrecife, it’s usually 50km/h (30mph), unless otherwise indicated. On dual carriageways and motorways, a limit of 120km/h (around 80mph) normally applies. Mobile speed traps are common across the island and there are fixed cameras to watch out for on the LZ-2 between Arrecife and Playa Blanca.

In Arrecife, on-street parking can be somewhat of a challenge, with spots close to the beach rarely available. The underground car park at the Gran Hotel has many spaces at reasonable rates, around €6 (£5.20) for 4h, and it’s such a prominent building that it’s easy to find your car again after.
