Luxury car rental in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria arrives through Zeus Prestige at Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), your hotel, the port or a villa on the island. Choose a convertible, an exotic or a roomy luxury SUV, then set off at your own tempo. Sports car hire in Las Palmas suits the mountain roads of the interior, and open-top hire suits the long sunny coast.
Juan Rejón founded the city on 24 June 1478 as the Real de Las Palmas, and its historic heart, Vegueta, still holds the cathedral square and the Casa de Colón, a museum in a house that Columbus is said to have visited in 1492. The Port of La Luz began building in 1883. Las Canteras, the city's main beach, curves for 3,100 metres along the north side.
Around 383,500 people live in Las Palmas, the ninth-largest city in Spain, and each year the Carnival fills its streets. The island of Gran Canaria is round, about 50 kilometres across, with a remarkable range of microclimates, so a drive of an hour can take you from warm coast to cool pine forest.
This one is for a top-down. Follow the motorway south, past the nature reserve of the Maspalomas dunes, which spreads between Playa del Inglés and the lighthouse, and on along the coast to Puerto de Mogán. Its canals have earned it the nickname Little Venice. A tang of salt and sun-warmed sand hangs in the air. Order lunch by the harbour, then return with the Atlantic glowing on your left.
Bring a supercar for the interior. The roads climb from the coast into the high centre of the island, where the Roque Nublo stands 80 metres tall at 1,813 metres above Tejeda and Pico de las Nieves reaches 1,949 metres. Your pulse races on each hairpin, and your hands tighten on the wheel as the cloud line approaches. Park below the rock, walk to the viewpoint, and let the mountain air cool the engine.
Settle into a grand tourer for the north. Teror holds the shrine of the Virgen del Pino, the island's patron saint, whose feast falls on 8 September. The road there runs through green slopes where the trade-wind clouds gather, and the cabin stays hushed and cool. Walk the square, stop for a coffee, and let the descent back to the coast pass unhurried.
Yes. Zeus Prestige delivers to Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), including its private aviation terminal (ICAO GCLP), as well as to hotels, the harbour and villas around the island. Let us know your flight and the car will be at the terminal.
The south coast invites a convertible, the mountain roads of the interior a supercar or sports coupe, and longer island days with luggage a luxury SUV.
The airport lies about 18 kilometres from the city centre.
Yes. The island is only about 50 kilometres across, so the dunes, the mountains and the villages of the interior all make easy day trips.
