Driving a hire car in Lanzarote**
As Lanzarote is part of Spain, the roads are not really any different from mainland Spain. The principle roads are well-signposted and the network is generally very well maintained, so driving a hire car from Lanzarote Airport should not pose too many problems. We've put together the following information to make your trip even easier.
Useful Driving Information
Spanish roads
Roundabouts - You need to go round them anticlockwise. The rules are also different in Lanzarote to the UK, as traffic in the outside lane has right of way. You will often encounter drivers going all the way around a roundabout in the outside lane, even if they are leaving at the 3rd or 4th exit. Just make sure you are in the outside lane at the point you want to leave the roundabout.
Slip Roads - Slip roads onto main roads and dual carriage ways can be shorter than in the UK, so be prepared to have to stop, as traffic is not obliged to let you filter in.
Right turns onto a road - When you turn right from one road to another, you must give way to any on coming traffic turning left into the same road. There are markings on the road indicating where you need to let the car turning left through.
Road safety laws
Speed limits
On-the-spot fines
Fixed and mobile speed cameras are very common throughout Spain and are not as recognisable as the UK. If caught, Spanish authorities can issue on-the-spot fines.
All on-the-spot fines must be paid in cash, to the arresting officer. Credit cards and travellers cheques will not be accepted. Cash must be in the local currency and if you don't have sufficient to pay the fine, you will be taken to the nearest ATM.
Drinking and driving
Spanish authorities taken a serious stance towards drinking and driving and laws are much stricter than in the UK. Severe penalties are imposed if the driver is found to have 0.05% or more alcohol in their blood, or 0.03% or more alcohol in the bloodstream if the driver has had a full licence for 2 years or less.
It is important to note that drinking alcohol and then driving may invalidate your car rental insurance, irrespective of local drink driving laws. Check your policy for full details.
Driving licence
Important Information - Changes to the UK Driving Licence
In general, UK licences are accepted in other EU countries, however, if you are travelling to Spain, we recommend that you obtain an International Driver's Permit (IDP) as a precaution.
Mobile phone use
It is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving or in control of a vehicle in Spain, even if you have pulled over to the side of the road. Only fully-hands free units are permitted.
Spanish driving etiquette
Flashing headlights - If another driver is flashing their headlights at you they are requestingyou to give them right of way.
No honking your horn - It is illegal to beep someone in urban areas in Spain, and could result in an on-the-spot fine. You are only permitted to use your horn in an emergency.
**This information should be considered as a broad overview of things to remember when hiring a car. It is therefore very important that you read the rental terms and conditions and associated policies for your own specific policy as well as doing your own research into the motoring laws of the country in which you will be driving.
