AVIS Car Rental at Fuerteventura Airport

Fuerteventura Airport is one of the main airports serving the Canary Islands of Spain, and is located on the eastern coastline of Fuerteventura Island, just five kilometers from Puerto del Rosario, the capital city. The airport is the perfect location at which to arrive in order to explore the wonderful beaches and amusement parks of the island, as all areas are within just an hour's drive. With such a good road network, Fuerteventura Island is best traveled by rented car from one the Fuerteventura Airport car rental companies. The companies available include Avis, Hertz, Europcar, Sixt and National, but Avis is a favourite among many of the airport's passengers. Avis has a large fleet of vehicles, and offers reasonable rental rates coupled with excellent customer service.

Fuerteventura Airport consists of a single terminal building, which has recently been extensively upgraded to increase its capacity to 8 million passengers per year. At present, the airport handles just over 6 million passengers per annum, but traffic at the Canary Islands are expected to increase considerably in later years. Passengers will arrive on the ground floor of the building, and collect their baggage from one of thirteen baggage reclaim carousels. Avis, along with the other Fuerteventura Airport car hire companies, can then be found just nearby the baggage reclaim area, and the rented cars are parked in the car park of the airport. All facilities at this airport are within easy walking distance of one another, and are clearly marked in English, Spanish and German.

Avis has various rental terms and conditions which should be read and understood by all renters, however, they are similar to most other car hire companies. The primary renter and all drivers at this location must meet the minimum age requirement of 23 for all car groups, besides the following categories, which have an age requirement of 25: L (Luxury), M (Full Size Van), O (Premium), N (Standard Size Van) and P (Minivan). A young drivers fee will be applicable to all drivers between the ages of 23 and 25. Avis accepts most local driving licenses, provided that they are printed in a Roman alphabet, however, all foreign drivers must arrange an International Driving Permit from their home country, as this document is required by Spanish Law, if not by Avis. Renters from the United Kingdom with the new 2-part Photocard license must present both the paper part and the durable card portion of their licenses.

Insurances such as Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection at Avis Fuerteventura Airport are optional, but can be arranged if required. It is recommended to purchase insurance locally from Avis, as it may reduce, or even remove the insurance excess. A major credit card will be needed to pay for the period of car hire, as debit cards are not accepted as a form of payment. Customers can use the following credit cards: American Express, Diners Club, Mastercard / Eurocard, Visa or Avis Charge Cards.

Avis vehicles are recommended to be reserved in advance from Fuerteventura Airport, as car hire can be in high demand. Customers should also reserve any additional items of equipment required as early as possible. These may include child seats, satellite navigation systems or hand controls for disabled drivers, and will cost a bit extra per day of rental. However, at Fuerteventura Airport, hand controls may be used free of charge. A disabled person who is unable to drive may still be the primary renter at Avis. A designated driver with a valid drivers license must simply accompany the disabled renter.

One way hires from Fuerteventura Airport may be possible from Avis, and are a good option for customers who are not going to be returning to the airport, as this allows the rented car to be delivered to another Avis location on the island. It may also be possible to take a one way hire to another Canary Island by ferry, but details should be confirmed with Avis before making your travel arrangements. If ferry transport is permitted for Avis vehicles, additional insurance may be required.

In Spain, and on Fuerteventura Island, Avis offers a large fleet of quality vehicles for hire. The cars come in all shapes and sizes, and renters are sure to find their ideal holiday vehicle from Avis. The car categories available include Mini, Economy and Compact, which all contain vehicles which are easy to drive and fuel efficient. They are also smaller vehicles, ideal for nipping around the island, but don’t offer much space for luggage. A Mini car will be similar to the Ford Ka Titanium, while Economy cars include the Seat Ibiza. The Seat Leon 1.9 and Volkswagen Golf can be hired from the Compact category, and the Golf can also have an automatic transmission. Smaller cars are, in general, much more affordable than larger rentals, and are popular choices among many customers.

Medium to large vehicles available from Avis include the Volkswagen Passat, Audi A4, BMW 320 and Audi A6, and these vehicles all seat up to five passengers, and offer some room for luggage as well. However, a wagon is best for customers with many items of luggage, and may be similar to the Volkswagen Passat Variant Wagon. Alternatively, Avis hires a large number of vans to families and groups of travelers, such as the Opel Zafira, Seat Alhambra 2.0, Chrysler Voyager 2.8 and the Mercedes Vito, with space for nine people and more than five luggage items.
