Gran Canaria International Airport serves as the main gateway into the island of Gran Canaria of the Spanish Canary Islands. It is one of the busiest air facilities in Spain, serving more than 10 million passengers every year. The airport is served by airlines that provide connections to various parts of the European Union, to mainland Spain and to the other islands in the Canary Islands.

Driving is the best mode of transport around the island so travellers are provided with a number of options for cheap car hire at the Gran Canaria – Airport. The airport is located on the eastern coast of the island. To get to the city centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the island’s main city, travellers just need to drive less than 30 minutes to the north.

Within the city centre, however, a car rental at the Gran Canaria – Airport is unnecessary as most of the travel spots are located in pedestrianized areas. Notable attractions in the city include the Catedral de Santa Ana, the historical enclave of Vegueta, the Parque Santa Catalina for its vibrant night life and the old district of Triana which is now the commercial centre in the city.

The main attraction on the island is its beaches accessible with a car hire at the Gran Canaria – Airport. The city of Las Palmas itself is a beach town, offering a variety of leisure options including snorkelling, scuba diving and surfing.
