SIXT Car Rental at Fuerteventura Airport

Fuerteventura Airport is located on the island of Fuerteventura, and is just five kilometers from Puerto Del Rosario, the main city of the island. The airport was built in the 1960’s, and today plays a very important role in tourism for this Canary Island of Spain. Over 6 million passengers pass through the airport each year, with the majority on domestic flights between Fuerteventura, the Spanish mainland and the other Canary Islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife, but many international flights are available to and from the UK and Germany as well. For arriving passengers, Fuerteventura Airport car hire companies include Sixt, Avis, Hertz, National, Europcar and a number of local companies. Sixt is one of the most popular choices, for their innovative car rental services.

Sixt is found in the arrivals area of Fuerteventura Airport, and their rental cars are parked within easy walking distance of the terminal building as well. Passengers can therefore very easily arrange a vehicle from Sixt upon their arrival at the airport. Advanced reservations can also be made, over the internet, and this is often recommended, especially during busier months of the airport. The layout of Fuerteventura Airport is very easy to navigate, with all arrivals on the ground floor and the majority of departure procedures handled on the first floor. The facilities are also all clearly marked in English, Spanish and German. Sixt Fuerteventura Airport is open from 07:00 to 22:30.

A rented car on the island of Fuerteventura is the best way to explore all the wonderful attractions and beaches of the area. The island is also not very big, with all destinations within an hours drive. The popular tourist resort of Caleta de Fuste is just ten minutes from the airport, and the capital city, Puerto del Rosario, can be reached by the FV-2 within a few minutes. The best beaches on the island can be found in the Jandi area, as well as at Costa Calma and Morro Jable. Although most drivers find the road network of Fuerteventura quite simple to follow, a satellite navigation system can be hired as optional equipment from Sixt. Baby and booster seats are also available, as well as luggage racks. These items will cost a few extra Euro per day of car hire.

Sixt is a car rental company very popular for their innovative and unique services which help customers save time and money. If you are fond of hiring from Sixt, it is recommended to apply for the Sixt Express Card, which will allow access to services such as Sixt Mobile-Check-In and Sixt Online-Check-in. There are also Sixt Quick-Check-In terminals, which enable the customer to create his/her own rental contract, and bypass the rental counters. The terminals can be used by customers who have a Sixt Express Card, and who have an existing reservation. The Sixt Express Card can be used by all customers, no matter how frequently the services of Sixt are used, while the Sixt Ladies Card enables ladies to benefit from their partner’s corporate rates. More frequent renters have access to even greater benefits and discounts, with the Sixt Gold Card.

Most Fuerteventura Airport car rental companies, including Sixt, offer one way hires on the island. A one way hire allows the pick-up location of the vehicle to be different to the return location, and is an ideal choice for customers who do not wish to drive back to the airport. A Fuerteventura Airport one way hire may need to be returned to another location on the island, as sometimes cars are not permitted on ferries to the other Canary Islands, however, all details of a one way hire should be confirmed with Sixt before planning your travel itinerary. Automatic cars from Sixt are also used for disabled drivers who have requested hand controls from Fuerteventura Airport. Hand controls are free of charge, but should be reserved in advance. Automatic cars are also best chosen by customers who are not familiar with a manual (stick-shift) transmission, and are similar to the Hyundai i30, Peugeot 308 and Renault Megane.

Smaller sized vehicles from Sixt, at Fuerteventura Airport, have a minimum age restriction of just 18, and are similar to the Smart For Two, Hyundai i10, Peugeot 107 and Fiat Panda. The Smart For Two, as its name suggests, is ideal just for two, while the other vehicles can seat four. They don’t however offer much room for luggage. Smaller cars are, in general, more affordable though, and may also be similar to the VW Golf, Opel Astra, Renault Clio and Opel Corsa.
