Car hire at Fuerteventura Airport
Land in Fuerteventura and head straight to Corralejo or Jandía with your car already booked.
Fuerteventura Airport welcomes thousands of travellers each year in search of sun and endless beaches, and sits just about 5 km from Puerto del Rosario. It's the gateway to a large island with limited public transport, where having your own car makes the difference between seeing just two or three spots and exploring it from end to end.
At Gavendo we've been arranging car hire at Spain and Portugal's main airports, including FUE, since 1982, with negotiated rates and support in four languages. Book before you fly and, as soon as you land, head straight to the designated desk with no queues or price surprises.
Search carsPick-up at the Fuerteventura Airport terminal
Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) is small and easy to get around: as soon as you collect your luggage, the car hire desks are just steps from the arrivals area, with no need for buses or long transfers. With Gavendo you don't have to search through dozens of companies: we arrange the booking with your assigned local provider and tell you exactly where to go as soon as you land.
How the process works on landing
On arrival, simply find your provider's desk, present your booking, driving licence and the main driver's credit card, and sign the contract. With your documents ready, the process is usually done within minutes and your car is soon ready to go. We recommend bringing a printed or downloaded copy of the booking confirmation we send you, as it speeds things up at the desk.
Why book before arriving in Fuerteventura
Booking ahead guarantees a fixed price and a vehicle waiting for you, which is especially important in high season when demand on the island soars. By working with negotiated rates since 1982, Gavendo avoids the last-minute price hikes seen at the airport desk itself, confirming your vehicle in advance with no surprises on arrival.
From the airport to the island's destinations
The airport is just about 5 km from Puerto del Rosario, but Fuerteventura's real draw lies further away: the beaches of Corralejo in the north and Jandía in the south, along with other spots scattered across a very large island. Without enough public transport to cover these distances, a hire car is practically essential for getting around freely from the moment you land.
Returning the car and one-way trips
The usual return is at Fuerteventura Airport itself, at the same point where you collected the vehicle, leaving the keys at the desk or designated car park depending on the company. If your trip requires it, you can also consider returning the vehicle somewhere else on the island (one-way); ask us about the terms and any surcharge, which varies by company and availability.
What's included with your Gavendo car
Booking with us means negotiated rates with no small print or hidden last-minute charges, plus support in four languages before, during and after your trip. Our team acts as a trusted broker between you and the hire company in Fuerteventura, resolving any questions or issues so your time at the desk is quick and hassle-free.
- Book in advance — Cars can sell out fast at the airport in high season: confirm your booking before flying to secure price and availability.
