Sample prices for a 7-day rental. Final price, deposit and terms are confirmed on Localrent.
No-deposit options
About a third of cars in Spain come with no deposit hold at pickup - look for the "No deposit" badge.
Full insurance
Zero-excess cover available on most cars - nothing taken from the deposit if something happens.
Airport & city pickup
Desks at the airport and in the city centre.
Free cancellation
Cancel free on most bookings, often up to 48 hours before pickup.
Roads in the north are flat, paved and quiet. Pick by group size and luggage, not by terrain.
Economy
Cheapest to run and easy to park by the harbour. Fine for two staying in town.
Automatic
Comfortable on the FV-1 and the dune road. Automatics are limited on the island, so book early.
7-seater & van
For families or two couples sharing, with room for surfboards and luggage.
Luxury & convertible
An open top suits the coast road south to the dunes. Deposits run higher on premium groups.
Corralejo sits at the northern tip of Fuerteventura and works as a base for the whole north of the island. You can walk to the harbour, the old town and the nearest beaches, and Line 6 and Line 8 buses cover the dunes and El Cotillo. The reason most visitors still want car hire in Corralejo is the rest: the inland villages, the far beaches and the surf spots that the bus reaches only a few times a day.
Payment and deposit
When you book you pay only a small upfront amount - usually 15-20% of the hire cost. The rest is settled at the desk on pickup. The deposit in most cases is fully refundable, and about a third of cars in Spain are handed over with no deposit at all - those are marked in the results. If you only have a debit card, pick a no-deposit rate or a cash-deposit option: nothing gets frozen on your card.
Most drives from Corralejo are short. The Corralejo Dunes Natural Park starts about 4 km south of town, roughly a 10-minute drive down the FV-1, with light-coloured sand running for around 11 km along the coast. The dunes natural park is about 4 km south of the town centre and the protected dune area stretches for around 11 km.
El Cotillo is about 19 km west, near a 20-minute drive on the paved road via Lajares. It is approximately 12 miles (19 km) from El Cotillo to Corralejo, via Lajares. Lajares is the inland craft village on the way, with the Calderon Hondo crater walk a short drive beyond it. Puerto del Rosario, the capital and the island's only airport, is roughly 40 km south on the FV-1, about a 30 to 35-minute drive.
The wider island. The point for Corralejo is that one pickup reaches the north's beaches and villages and gets you back the same day.
The one road to skip
The direct coast track between Corralejo and El Cotillo through Majanicho is an unpaved dirt road. The Corralejo to El Cotillo coast road is a dirt track - rocky and sandy, classed as off-road, which invalidates your hire car insurance. Take the paved route via Lajares instead and your cover stays valid.
Parking in Corralejo is straightforward. Parking is free across most of Corralejo - the only restrictions are the underground car parks at the commercial centres and supermarkets. There is a public car park right next to the harbour if you want to be near the old town and the ferry.
Corralejo is the ferry port for Lanzarote, with a crossing of around 25 to 30 minutes. If you sail over as a foot passenger, leave the car in town - taking a Fuerteventura hire car across to another island needs the supplier's permission, so check your voucher first rather than assume it is allowed.
You can collect in Corralejo itself, including at the ferry terminal, or pick up at Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) and drive up. Fuerteventura Airport is around a 30-minute drive from Corralejo, the island's only airport. Airport pickup usually has the widest choice and the lowest rates; a town pickup saves paying for days you are not driving. Either way, an no-deposit rate with full cover built in avoids a deposit hold.
Corralejo is dry and windy most of the year, which is what makes it a surf and kitesurf base. The climate is dry and windy for most of the year, cooler and cloudier between January and March. Spring and autumn give warm, settled days and easy roads. July and August are the peak: rates climb and automatics and 7-seaters go first, so book several weeks ahead. Winter is the cheapest stretch and a car still earns its keep for the inland villages and the far beaches.

Free street parking covers most of the town, including a public car park by the harbour.
The only restrictions are the underground car parks at the commercial centres and supermarkets, so check the signage there.
A credit card is not always required - it is needed to hold the security deposit. At pickup the supplier freezes the deposit amount on the card: the money is not charged and is released when you return the car undamaged.
Without a credit card you still have options: choose a cash-payment rate (the «Cash» filter option) or a no-deposit rate, and nothing is held.
The deposit is an amount the rental company holds as a guarantee for the car. Road fines or damage can be deducted from it.
If the car comes back without problems, the deposit is released in full. It is a temporary hold on your card, not a charge.
It depends on the car class and the supplier - you can see the exact amount on each car's card.
You can set a maximum deposit in the filter and the catalogue shows only matching offers. The lower you set it, the fewer cars remain.
Yes. To see cars with no deposit, use the «No deposit» filter option. There are also cars with a small deposit or cash payment.
Note that "no deposit" means no hold at pickup, not no booking payment - a small upfront amount is still taken when you book. If nothing suits, contact our support team.
The deposit is the amount frozen on your card at pickup and released when you return the car undamaged.
The excess is the part of any damage you pay yourself even with insurance - anything above it is covered by the insurer.
In practice, damage is taken from the deposit up to the excess, so the deposit is often set to match it. A full, zero-excess policy removes both: you do not pay for damage and the hold is usually waived.
Cover comes in levels:
You see the available rates on each car's card when booking.
If you would rather not depend on the deposit and excess, choose the full rate.
Yes, some cars can be paid in cash - use the «Cash» filter option.
You pay a small upfront amount by debit or credit card when booking (usually 15-20% of the total), and the rest in cash at pickup.
Yes, paying for the car with cryptocurrency is possible - contact our support team to arrange it.
Taking the car by ferry to Lanzarote, Gran Canaria or the other islands must be agreed with the supplier in advance, and not all of them allow it.
It is often simpler to hire a separate car on the second island. If you plan a ferry, check the terms with our support team.
Yes. In the search, set a pick-up and a drop-off point - for example collect in Corralejo and return at Fuerteventura Airport or in Morro Jable.
By default the car is returned to the same place you collected it.
Most are manual, as across Spain. Automatics cost more and sell out first, especially in summer, so book one early if you need it - the roads in the north are flat and easy, so a manual is no hardship either.
You need a passport, a driving licence and the rental voucher - the voucher can be shown on your phone or tablet.
It states the final price with your chosen options and insurance, so the amount due at the desk will not change.
To hire through our rental companies you need at least 2 years of driving experience.
