Car Hire in La Gomera Center

La Gomera is the second smallest of the Canary Islands and one of the most unspoiled, with dense laurel forest listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. In the island's center, there are 2 rental companies, giving you the opportunity to explore the dramatic terrain with deep ravines and volcanic mountain peaks. A car is practically essential for getting around the island outside of San Sebastián.

From the center you can reach Garajonay National Park-the island's highest point at 1,487 m-in about 25 km and 35 minutes. Valle Gran Rey on the western side is 45 km away and takes about 50 minutes via winding mountain roads. The roads on La Gomera are narrow and twisty-choose a small car that fits the tight passages.

Fill up your tank in San Sebastián; gas stations are few on the island. Start early for excursions to Garajonay; the fog usually clears by mid-morning. How many rental companies are in La Gomera's center?

There are 2 rental companies in the center. At GMZ airport and the port there are more options in total. Do I need a car on La Gomera?
