Car rental categories in La Palma

Is car hire in La Palma necessary?

Yes, car hire in La Palma is the best way to discover its breathtaking landscapes and move freely around the island. While it might not seem like a large island, its rugged geography, steep terrain, and the spread-out locations of its main sites of interest mean that having your own vehicle will make a significant difference to your travel experience.

Getting around by car allows you to explore hidden villages like San Andrés y Sauces, El Paso, or Las Tricias at your own pace; stop at natural viewpoints such as Mirador de La Cumbrecita or El Time; and change your plans as you go. From the remote northern areas, like Barlovento, to the southern volcanic roads in Fuencaliente, many of La Palma’s hidden corners are off the beaten track if you don’t have a flexible mode of transport.

Roads like the LP-4, which leads to Roque de los Muchachos through landscapes that seem otherworldly, or the LP-2, connecting the island's southwest through volcanic formations, are just two examples of the pleasure of driving on this island. A hire car gives you the freedom to experience La Palma at your own pace.
