The second largest of the Canary Islands and the closest to the African coast (just 62 miles away), Fuerteventura is the ultimate holiday hideaway where time seems to stand still and tranquillity rules supreme. Declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2009, it is one of the least developed and most sparsely populated of all the Atlantic islands, with much of the central regions consisting of lavascapes and low-lying volcanic mountains, in stark contrast to the island's bright sandy beaches. Its shores are blessed with some of the best waters for snorkelling and scuba-diving in the whole of Europe and those who appreciate traditional island life will savour the thrill of visiting the many enchanting villages hidden away in the interior. Puerto del Rosario, the island's capital, is a vibrant city with a long seaside promenade where idling over a relaxing meal or a cool drink is the order of the day. The harbour area is the oldest part of town and from here you can explore the heart of the city, with its narrow streets lined with elegant old houses built in the traditional Canarian style of architecture. Fuerteventura is very much a beach paradise and the best places to go for swimming and sunbathing are Playas de Corralejo, Playa de Ajuy, Playa de Cofete and Playas de El Cotillo. Likewise, the pristine beaches embroidering the Jandia peninsula on the island's southern tip are well worth the drive down from the capital.

" Great new company I will use again, highly recommended! "
" Fair price, good service at counter with staff speaking various languages, car in perfect condition, quick and easy pick up and drop off. The only little flow may be that the counter isn't obvious to find but the car park where it is isn't too big so it's ok. I rather look for 2 minutes than use an "in your face" company charging double the price. "

" Even though Dollar were a disappointment I have a car booked with you in August at Palma de Mallorca , I usually book with you twice a year an will always remain loyal . "
" I did not realise until the receptionist told me that Dollar is the downmarket side of Hertz . She informed me that Dollar cars will be , usually cheaper, older , higher mileage and not always in such good condition, that was certainly the case with our Yaris , a big disappointment compared with the picture on your confirmation of a Clio , I realise you never , ever get the car shown but the elderly Yaris was not what I expected.

" Very pleased with our upgrade to an Audi A3 although more expensive the car was Fantastic!! We had a problem after a few days in that oil warning light came on, I phoned the SOS Number supplied and first of all a tow truck came to our hotel but he said he did not have any oil with him and that another mechanic would come out . Later a very nice young man came and he added the required oil and then checked everything out and spoke with me via the translator on his phone this made understanding him very simple. After this the car was back to normal and helped to make our holiday. "
" On arrival at the Sixt Desk we were told that the car we booked was not available which was a surprise as it was booked and paid for, how ever after a long discussion with Marco behind the desk we opted for an upgrade in the form of an Audi A3 convertable which turned out to be fantastic and made our holiday. Returning the car was very easy to do with a well marked car park and there was a very helpful guy there to take our keys and check it in. "

" Smooth experience. Would just have liked to be talked round the car a bit before driving off ( ie put your foot on the clutch to start etc). Also, it would have been better if the person handing us the keys led us round the car with the photos showing existing blemishes etc. We were so rushed getting the car that I hadn't realised about the photos until we git to our resort. Apart from that- all good. "

" Counter staff were very pleasant but were thwarted by a computer that had gone down so everything had to be written out by hand which delayed us by 45 minutes, but as I say the girls were very pleasant and professional. The VW polo was newish and well presented. The staff handing us the car and checking it in were also a credit to your company, very satisfied and will use Avis again. "

" Easy to book and prompt response to email query about the issues raised above. "
" The Interrent charged €800+ deposit to my CREDIT card even though I got confirmation from them that the amount would be blocked. The refund payment was prompt but there was still a difference due to FX charges (not credit card charges). Also, there was an amount of €13.17 ("Smart Return") plus associated 8% airport surcharge (€1.05) on the Interrent contract that was not made clear by either the Interrent staff or the Auto Europe voucher. Not good. "

" Easy to book "
" Very long queue to collect car (45 mins) at airport "
" I had no problem - the car I was given was new and obviously in new condition - everything went well "
" in all my circumstances AVIS was very good "
" Your customer care advisers took the time to update me on availability of the hirer at the destination airport and your systems noted flight reference as it became possible for me to convey which reassured me that I would get the car in the event of flight delays (we were flying late in the evening arriving an hour before desks closed). From comments about other agency arrangements I have seen on the internet the link up with chosen hire company is the weak link, not so with your company, from that point I was reassured of your credibility. "
" The staff were most helpful and I took the car I was hoping for (often not the case with other companies). There was no fuss or bother either in collecting or returning the vehicle, car parking at the airport too was most convenient and well appointed. I do always like the 'return full' policy, mechanically the vehicle was also great despite its fairly high mileage. However, a couple of minor concerns ----- it was a little disconcerting to see a damage log for me to have any further I might identify entered and stamped by Avis when I was collecting the car in the dark in a poorly lit car park, I did have a nagging concern throughout in case any were attributed to me. The car was also dirty, driving in the dark with smeared windscreen scary "
" No problems , happy with car hire, good location at airport and no additional charges "
" Easy to communicate, happy with service "
" It is very good. The car I got was brand new and great to drive. The only thing that is a real problem is how far and difficult to find and get to the drop off place, in the middle of nowhere. Very stressful and I was worried I was going to miss my flight because of the car. "
" Amazing car. The service was slow, very slow. The place where they are based is ridiculous, very difficult to find. I would rather not use the same company and go for one based at the airport so I do not have go through the stress to find it and almost miss my flight again. "
" would use Auto Europe again. Clear contract and instructions. Site was clear as to the service and charges "
" Very efficient and friendly staff. Pleased with the service and vehicle. "
" Booking process very efficient and good price. "
" Many rental firms are now full car tank empty car tank including Gold Car. I object to this profiteering. On Fuerteventura you would have to drive twenty four hours a day for a week to use a tankful of fuel in a Skoda Yeti! Service ie book in and transport were good. "
" easy to book but no cheaper than other companies due to the fuel cost which cost more than the actual price of fuel and fuel station was only a couple of 100 meters away. "
" i would prefer to only pay for the fuel i use. The fuel tank wasn't full when we picked it up but still had to pay 60 euro's. We didn't use all of that but couldn't get any money back. Would prefer to pick up empty as petrol station was only round the corner. Windscreen wash hadn't been filled and was empty when picked up (i felt it was a way for them to make money not to make it easier for the customers). Passenger window would go down but not up from the passenger control - fortunately the drivers side did work. "
