You might be wondering — do I really need a car, or can I just rely on public transport, taxis, or organized tours?
The truth is, if you really want to experience Lanzarote, to explore it freely, feel its rhythm, and discover its hidden corners, renting a car is the best decision you can make.
And with Bissau Car, it’s not just a practical choice, it’s the start of an unforgettable adventure.
Lanzarote may be a small island, but its beauty is scattered all around, from the cliffs of Mirador del Río and the volcanic landscapes of Timanfaya National Park, to the white sands of Caletón Blanco and the turquoise coves of Papagayo.
The problem? Public transport doesn’t reach many of these places. Buses are infrequent and mostly connect only the main towns, such as Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen, and Playa Blanca.
If you want to visit remote beaches, viewpoints, or charming inland villages, the bus simply won’t take you there.
With your own car, you set the pace. Leave early to catch the sunrise over the volcanoes, or drive west to watch the sun sink into the ocean.
No waiting, no schedules, just you, the road, and landscapes that change with every turn.
At first glance, taking a taxi might seem convenient.
But in Lanzarote, especially during the high season, taxis can be difficult to find. Getting one to remote spots can be tricky, and if you plan to make several stops in a day, the cost can quickly exceed the price of a daily car rental with Bissau Car.
Imagine driving to Timanfaya National Park, stopping later in Yaiza, and ending your day with dinner overlooking the volcanic scenery, every taxi ride would cost as much as a full day’s car rental.
With your own car, you decide when to stop, where to go, and how long to stay, without worrying about the meter or the waiting time.
There are also private transfers available, but they usually operate only as part of pre-paid excursions. That means you lose flexibility, you can’t stay longer in a place you love, take a spontaneous detour, or stop for photos when you see a breathtaking view.
Lanzarote isn’t an island to be visited, it’s an island to be lived.
Only by driving yourself can you truly feel its spirit: stop by the roadside, listen to the wind across the lava, walk to a hidden viewpoint, or enjoy fresh fish in a small local restaurant.
Unlike many other islands, the roads in Lanzarote are in excellent condition, clean, smooth, clearly marked, and rarely crowded. Driving here isn’t stressful, it’s pure enjoyment.
You can cross the island from north to south in under two hours, but you’ll probably want to take it slow.
Every curve brings a new scene: black volcanic fields, whitewashed houses, blue ocean views, and windmills turning on the horizon.
If you love driving, you’ll love it even more here.
And if you don’t, Lanzarote might just change your mind.
When you choose Bissau Car, you’re choosing peace of mind. Our fleet consists of new, well-maintained, spotless vehicles, because we know how important it is to feel safe and relaxed during your holiday.
We always strive to offer affordable prices and transparent conditions, with no hidden fees or unpleasant surprises.
We want your car rental experience to be easy and worry-free so you can focus on what truly matters: enjoying Lanzarote, your way.
One of the best parts of renting a car is the total freedom it gives you.
With your own car, you don’t have to follow anyone’s schedule, you can simply go wherever the road takes you.
Stop in La Geria, the volcanic wine region, and enjoy a glass of local Malvasía wine.
Pull over in El Golfo to capture the striking contrast of turquoise water and black lava.
Drive along the coast, feel the wind and the ocean breeze, pause at a scenic viewpoint, and let time stand still.
With Bissau Car, you don’t just move around, you live the experience.
The best thing about exploring Lanzarote by car is that there’s no wrong way to go. Every road, whether it winds through volcanic valleys, coastal paths, or tiny villages, leads to something worth seeing.
Spend a day discovering the south: start in Playa Blanca, visit the Papagayo beaches, and continue to Los Hervideros, where the waves crash dramatically against the cliffs. The next day, head north to Mirador del Río, where the view over La Graciosa will leave you speechless.
With your own car, you decide how long to stay, where to stop, and how to make the most of every moment.
