RECORD Car Rental at Fuerteventura Airport

Fuerteventura Airport is one of the important airports which provide a gateway to the Canary Islands of Spain, and is found on the eastern coastline of Fuerteventura. The airport serves just over four million passengers per annum, and has recently been expanded to increase its capacity from five million to eight million passengers a year. It is therefore a very well constructed and modern facility, perfect for the start of a wonderful holiday in Fuerteventura. A rented car from one of the Fuerteventura Airport car hire companies is best for exploring the island, and Record Rent A Car can be found within the terminal building. Record is a Spanish car rental company that is popular for their low rental rates and quality vehicles.

Fuerteventura Airport consists of a single terminal building, with the arrivals hall on the ground floor, and the departures lounge on the first floor. Departing passengers will also check-in on the ground floor. Record is found along with several other car hire companies in the arrival area, nearby the baggage reclaim hall, and their rented cars are parked in the airport parking lot, which is within easy walking distance of the airport exit. Passengers can hire a car directly from the rental counters of Record, but are recommended to rather make an advanced booking, as vehicles can be in high demand during the busier tourist seasons of the island. Ensure that you also book any additional items of equipment required for your journey in Fuerteventura, such as baby seats or a satellite navigation system.

Any additional item hired from Record will cost a few extra Euros per day of rental, and are subject to availability. It is required by law in Spain for all occupants of a vehicle to wear seat-belts, therefore a car seat for your little ones is essential. Although a GPS unit is not required by law, it can be extremely valuable for all visitors who are unfamiliar with the road network of Fuerteventura Island. The units rented are usually of very high quality, with lots of features that will allow you to easily find any destination on the island. They often feature a choice of languages and come pre-programmed with thousands of points of interest, which help you to find the nearest hotel, gas station, pharmacy, shopping center, restaurant or tourist attraction etc.

Equipment from Record Fuerteventura Airport may also include hand controls for disabled drivers. This device operates the brake and accelerator pedals of an automatic vehicle, and is therefore ideal for persons with a lower limb deficiency. At Fuerteventura Airport, hand controls must be reserved in advance, but they are free of charge. From many of the Fuerteventura Airport car rental companies, customers may also arrange a one way hire, whereby the rented car is collected from this airport location, but is then returned to another Record location. Cars are sometimes permitted to be taken on ferries to the other Canary Islands, such as nearby Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, but this may require the purchase of additional insurance. Fuerteventura Airport one way hires may also have additional costs, depending on the duration of the car hire period, and to where the vehicle will be returned.

Record Rent A Car was founded in 1966, and is today one of the leading Spanish car rental companies. Over recent years Record has remained as one of the top five companies in the industry. Customers of Record enjoy their "reduced prices philosophy", careful customer service and all-inclusive rates, along with a wide choice of vehicles at each of their rental locations across the country. In total, Record owns a fleet of over 30,000 vehicles, all of which are only late model cars, in good condition. Some of Record's other rental locations include the airports of Alicante, Malaga and Barcelona on the mainland, and Palma de Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands. Record is also found at the airports on other Canary Islands, such as Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote.

Record, at Fuerteventura Airport, offers smaller cars similar to the Fiat Panda and Hyundai Getz, ideal for three passengers, as well as the Fiat Punto, for up to four people. These smaller cars are excellent for nipping around the island, and are light on fuel as well. All rented cars will start with a full tank of fuel, and if a full tank of fuel has been purchased by customers with a rental period of over three days, the vehicle may be returned as empty as possible. For shorter rentals, fuel need not be purchased in advance, but the rented car should be returned with a full tank, as it was received. No refunds are given for unused fuel.

Cars of a medium size from Record include the Seat Ibiza, Volkswagen Golf and Peugeot 307, while larger vehicles available are the Volkswagen Touran, with room for seven passengers, and the Mercedes Vito, ideal for groups of up to nine people.
