Tip Of The Day: Don't Let This Car Rental Scam Ruin Your Gran Canaria Holiday

Happy car rental in Gran Canaria is easy Happy car rental in Gran Canaria is easy www.photosgrancanaria.com

With Gran Canaria car rental you get what you pay for and if you pay the absolute minimum, what you get is a headache and a ruined holiday.

Our advice, after hearing the same story over and over and reading TripAdvisor threads like this one, is to avoid cheap car rental websites and especially the cheapest deal on offer. 

The low prices these websites quote are not enough to cover the cost of renting the car so the companies have to gouge their customers for extras. Scams include overcharging for fuel, charging to remove 'excess fuel', claims for imaginary damage, credit card charges or fines that don't exist, etc. 

Gran Canaria's shady car hire operators are clever people; They have an office at the airport and operate just within the law. The only way to stop them is to boycott their services until they are forced to change. And, in the meantime, use a car rental fiorm in Gran Canaria that really cares about the service that it offers. 

For hassle-free car rental in Gran Canaria, use Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria.

You get fully comprehensive insurance, delivery to your door anywhere on the island, and personal service all day and night from Mr Car Hire himself.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
