KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Santa Cruz de la Palma

  • Car hire in Santa Cruz de la Palma allows you a level of freedom and flexibility that you can’t get with other methods of transport. You’ll be able to depart and arrive whenever you please, in addition to being able to travel direct to your destination. For instance, you can drive to Puntallana in about 15min, which is a journey that takes more than 20min by bus, and you’ll also have to abide by the timetable.
  • Santa Cruz de la Palma Airport (SPC) is one of the closest airports to the capital city, making it a convenient terminal to hire a car from. After landing, passing through border control and collecting your bags, you can choose from a range of car hire companies. You will find car hire agencies, such as Avis, in the airport terminal, whereas Thrifty is only a short shuttle journey away. Before your Santa Cruz de la Palma car hire provider takes you to your vehicle, you’ll have to provide evidence of your identification and payment method, as well as complete the required documentation.
  • Using car hire in Santa Cruz de la Palma, you will see that it is a busy city that is popular with tourists. As there isn’t a jaywalking law in Spain, you’ll need to drive carefully as people will cross the roads in areas, which are not designated for pedestrians. There are also lots of cyclists in La Palma, as well as moped drivers, so you should keep checking your mirrors to ensure you are aware of your surroundings.
  • When driving a Santa Cruz de la Palma hire car, you will find that the roads get very busy. This is only enhanced when locals drive to and from work. Rush hour is normally from about 8:00 to 9:30 and 19:00 to 20:30. If you aren’t a fan of driving on busy roads, it’s recommended that you avoid these times and drive in the late morning and early afternoon. The LP-1 is one of the busiest roads in the city so, if possible, you should try and avoid this. You can try using one of the back roads, such as C. Dornajos, to navigate your way through the city without having to use the busiest roads.
  • Small hire cars in Santa Cruz de la Palma are around 71% cheaper than other car types, on average

Whereas on motorways and country roads the top speed is 90 km/h (56 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Santa Cruz de la Palma?

POOR CAR PICKUP. The car was brad new and v. comfortable. The issue is that their premises were CLOSED at the time the ferry was arriving!! (21.30 from tenerife and the were closed since 20.00). Thus we were told that car would be picked up on next morning at 8.00 !! This changed our plans and also our place to stay overnight since we were already booked outside santa cruz de la palma. Also next day we lost additional time for picking it up, papers etc. This wasnt said on the booking of the car... by anybody. Kayak or Sixt!! Given that they were already paid for everything client remained tight... Thats not so proffessional overall.
