MARBESOL Car Rental at Fuerteventura Airport

Fuerteventura Airport is located at the El Matorral site on Fuerteventura, one of the famous Canary Islands of Spain, and is recognized by its airport code of FUE. The airport handles just over four million passengers per year, and is an important international gateway for tourists coming to enjoy the attractions of the island, which include over a hundred lovely beaches and interesting natural landmarks. Marbesol is one of the Fuerteventura Airport car rental companies available, and by rented car is the best way to explore the area. Marbesol is also a local car rental company, present at many airports in Spain.

At Fuerteventura Airport, there is one terminal building, from where all arrival and departure flights are handled. The arrivals area is located on the ground floor, as well as the check-in desks, while the departure lounge and boarding gates are found on the upper floor. Passengers will also find the car rental counters of various companies, including Marbesol, in Arrivals, just nearby the exit of the baggage reclaim area. Marbesol Fuerteventura Airport is open throughout the day and evening, every day of the week.

Vehicles from Marbesol in Spain are arranged in car groups, for example, Economy, Medium, Automatics, Family, Minibus and Cabriolet. The most affordable cars are found in the Economy category, and these cars are fuel efficient as well, therefore perfect for all customers on a tighter budget. Economy cars are however smaller, with less space for luggage items. They include the Ford Ka and the Ford Fiesta, which are both three door vehicles. Customers should try to find a good balance between the cost of their vehicle and the right size of vehicle, as a journey in a car that is too small can be most uncomfortable.

Medium cars have more room for luggage, and are similar to the Ford Fusion, Peugeot 207, Peugeot 307 and Ford Mondeo. These four vehicles can also have an automatic transmission, which is useful for customers who are more familiar with this type of vehicle. Automatic cars are also used by disabled drivers who have requested hand controls for their rental from Marbesol. At Fuerteventura Airport, hand controls are suitable for drivers with a lower limb disorder, as they operate the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle, but no other functions, such as car lights, blinkers or windshield wipers. The device must be reserved in advance, and is free of charge. Disabled customers who are unable to drive may also appoint a designated driver, and be the primary renter of the vehicle. Payment can be made by the credit card of the disabled person, while the driver will present Marbesol with a valid drivers license. There are also no extra charges for additional drivers in this scenario.

Vehicles from Fuerteventura Airport car rental companies can often be of a larger size as well, and Marbesol offers a good range of cars ideal for families or groups of travelers. In the Family category, there are cars such as the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 307 Station Wagon and the Ford Focus C-Max, while Minibuses include the Opel Zafira, Ford Galaxy and Mercedes Vito, seating seven or nine passengers. Customers of Marbesol can also find out if they are allowed to arrange a one way hire, as this service is most useful if you want to travel to another Canary Island, or if you are not returning to Fuerteventura Airport. A one way hire may have additional costs, depending on the terms and conditions of the car hire company, but may also be free of charge. Be sure to find out if the vehicle can be taken on a ferry, and if additional insurance will be required.

The primary renter at Marbesol, Fuerteventura Airport, should be at least 21 years of age, and have a valid drivers license which has been held for at least a year in his/her country of residence. Although Marbesol may not require an International Driving Permit, this document is required by Spanish Law, and should always accompany the local license, as it is not a legal drivers license on its own. Similar to most other car rental companies, younger drivers at Marbesol, between the ages of 21 and 25, will pay a higher rental rate, which is applicable for young drivers insurance. Younger drivers may also not be permitted to hire from certain categories that contain special kinds of vehicles, or vehicles of a larger size. All primary renters will need a major credit card in their name in order to pay for the car hire period, and two credit cards may be required for certain luxury vehicles.

A rented car from Marbesol is by far the best way to travel the island of Fuerteventura, as a car gives you the freedom to explore all the beaches and other attractions in your own time. All areas on the island are within an hours drive from Fuerteventura Airport, with Puerto del Rosario, the capital city, just five kilometres to the north of the airport. To the south, the areas of Caleta de Fuste, Las Salinas, La Lajita and Morro Jable are all very popular places among tourists on the island, while further north, the old capital city of the island, La Oliva, has several attractions, and is where the area of Corralejo can be found.
