Lanzarote Playa Blanca Car Rental

Playa Blanca is Lanzarote's southernmost resort, located at Punta de Papagayo, with 4 rental companies serving this quiet alternative to the more hectic northern resorts. Ferries to Corralejo on Fuerteventura depart from here, and with a rental car you can easily explore all of southern Lanzarote. ACE airport is 40 km to the north, about 40 minutes driving via LZ-2.

Playa Papagayo and its surrounding beaches in the Los Ajaches nature reserve are reached 5 km to the east via a gravel road - an SUV is recommended but not necessary. Timanfaya National Park with its lava landscape is 35 km to the north, about 35 minutes driving via LZ-704 and LZ-67. El Golfo, the green lagoon and the half-submerged volcanic crater, is reached in 30 km, about 30 minutes away.

Drive to Mirador de las Coloradas at sunset for an unbeatable view toward Fuerteventura and Lobos.
