The most easterly (and northerly) of all the Canary Islands, Lanzarote is a subtropical beach paradise of volcanic origins. Blessed with an excellent road and motorway network, it is the ideal place for people planning to book a car hire in Lanzarote and tour this enchanting holiday destination at their own pace. It only takes about 40 minutes to cross the entire island from north to south, and less than half an hour to drive from one side to the other. Of all its volcanic wonders, the UNESCO-listed Timanfaya National Park located on the western side of the island is arguably the most breathtaking. Here you'll see vast swirls of solidified lava, huge sea caves formed by volcanic tubes and large dunes made of red volcanic ash. Another of the most popular sights on Lanzarote is the view inside the 7-kilometre-long volcanic tunnel called Cueva de los Verdes, which extends all the way from La Coruna mountain to the sea. The quaint little fishing village of Puerto del Carmen is the perfect stopover for lunch, followed by the chance to relax on its six kilometres of golden, sandy beach.

On returning car asked staff member to sign form showing no additional damage and he said it wasn't necessary. Given threats made in order to try and sell additional insurance , you would think they would at least inspect car on return. "

" Overall the whole experience was good. However, I specifically filtered my choices to only include companies 'on airport'. Sixt's vehicles are NOT located at the airport and it's necessary to get a bus transfer between Sixt and the airport. Just because Sixt have a desk at the airport does not mean AutoEurope should tell customers that 'they are located at the airport', it's false and misleading. However, thanks to the excellent service of Sixt and their friendly staff this didn't become too big an issue. But Auto Europe need to review their filtering system. "
