Campervan hire in Gran Canaria: prices, pickup and routes

There is no single hire price for Gran Canaria. The amount depends on the vehicle, travel dates, rental length and the terms set for that listing. Select your dates and compare the trip total, not only the headline daily rate. Check cleaning, mileage, handover, extras and the deposit as separate parts of the offer.

Some listings may include a weekly or monthly discount. It depends on the owner’s settings and the dates you select. Check that the discount appears in your total before sending a request, and ask about any charge that is unclear. Do not assume that every vehicle has a seasonal or last-minute offer.

A compact campervan, a larger van conversion and a motorhome differ in space, dimensions and handling. Compare approved travel seats separately from berths, then check the length, height, luggage space and equipment shown in each listing.

Coastal towns, older village centres and mountain roads can call for different vehicle dimensions. Plan around the actual vehicle and ask the owner about any route or access that concerns you. A four-wheel-drive camper does not automatically have permission to use restricted tracks or protected areas.

A northern route can link Arucas, Firgas, Moya, Santa María de Guía, Gáldar and Agaete. Gran Canaria’s official tourism site describes this route as a day trip. Leave time for stops and avoid adding a rushed cross-island drive to the same day.

Tejeda and the central highlands offer a different landscape and road conditions from the south around Maspalomas and Mogán. Allow separate time for the north, the mountains and the south rather than trying to cover all three in one day. Check the weather forecast for Tejeda before setting out and adapt your plan to the conditions.

The airport is near Gando, but collection there is not included with every campervan. Each owner sets the handover location and whether delivery is available. Before requesting a booking, confirm the exact meeting point, time, any delivery charge and how long the vehicle handover takes.

Plan how you will get from the airport to the confirmed collection point. At handover, take photos of the vehicle condition, mileage, fuel and accessories. Leave enough time after your flight for the vehicle briefing before starting a long drive.

Parking, sleeping in a vehicle and camping are different activities. Gran Canaria Cabildo campsites have their own rules and permit requirements. Recreation and protected areas may have additional conditions. Check the relevant official information for your travel dates and follow local signs.

Do not assume that a viewpoint or car park allows overnight stays, outdoor furniture or waste disposal. Use facilities authorised for the service you need and leave the area clean.

Compare two or three listings using the same dates and requirements. Review availability, travel seats and berths, total price, applied discounts, collection, insurance, mileage, cleaning, cancellation terms and deposit. If a detail is missing, ask through Vaneando before requesting the booking and keep the reply with your booking information.

If you want to take the vehicle on a ferry to another island, get the owner’s approval for that specific vehicle before buying tickets. Ferry use depends on the vehicle and its rental terms.

• Compare approved travel seats and berths separately.
• Check the total for your dates and whether any discount is applied.
• Confirm the collection point, time and any delivery fee.
• Ask about ferry use, mileage, deposit and cancellation terms.
