About Renting a Car at Lanzarote Arrecife Port

Arrecife's port is the arrival point for ferries from Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, and the mainland, with 1 rental company near the port terminal for convenient onward transportation. The harbor area is located in eastern Arrecife, about 1 km from the city center and 6 km from ACE airport. Puerto del Carmen, the island's most popular resort, is reached in 15–20 minutes driving south.

Fred Olsen and Naviera Armas operate regular service from the port to Corralejo on Fuerteventura, just 35 minutes by fast ferry. Castillo de San Gabriel, a 16th-century fortress on a small island outside the harbor, is one of Arrecife's most photographed landmarks. From here it's 35 km north to Jameos del Agua along the scenic LZ-1.

Book your car rental 45 minutes after the ferry's scheduled arrival – delays are common and you don't want to rush. The rental company at the port may have limited vehicle selection, so book in advance and have a backup option at ACE airport as a contingency. Drive directly to Timanfaya first thing in the morning to avoid tour buses at midday.

How long does the ferry from Fuerteventura to Arrecife port take? With the fast ferry (Fred Olsen) it takes about 35–40 minutes from Corralejo to Arrecife. Can I take my rental car on the ferry to Fuerteventura?

No, rental cars are not allowed on the ferry – you must leave the car on Lanzarote and rent a new one on Fuerteventura. Is there luggage storage at Arrecife port if I wait for the rental company? The port terminal has limited facilities – contact the rental company directly to arrange convenient pickup upon arrival.

We compare prices from all major providers at Lanzarote Arrecife Port so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
