One way car hire Gran Canaria, in numbers.
A standard rental on this island is collected at the airport on arrival and returned there. One-way rentals are available between the airport and the south-coast delivery point, in both directions. They come from the delivery cars that serve the southern resorts, not from the airport fleet.
Each direction is a separate search, and this page shows whether either direction has cars this week.

Where do the one-way cars come from?
In every window measured for this site, the delivery cars held no deposit, required no credit card and had uncapped mileage. They have all been manual, and none offered free cancellation.
The automatics are in the airport fleet, so an automatic means collecting and returning at the airport. The airport fleet has had the lower starting price in every window measured.

Check both directionsWhich trips use one way?
Airport to south coast: you collect the car in arrivals at the airport and hand it over at an address in the southern resorts at the end of the rental.
South coast to airport: the car is delivered to your resort address and returned at the airport on the day you fly. The south-coast end is the delivery point for the Maspalomas coast and the neighbouring resorts.
Distances, and what one way does not cover.
Maspalomas is 35.1 km and 30 minutes from the airport on the GC-1. The GC-1 is designated motorway from the airport southward.
One way pairs the airport with the south-coast delivery point only. Playa del Ingles to Maspalomas is 3.5 km.
What it costs.
A one-way charge, where one applies, is shown on the car before you pay, with the deposit and mileage terms.
The delivery cars have had a higher starting price than the airport fleet in every window measured. The panel on this page shows both starting prices for the coming week.
Questions people ask about dropping a car elsewhere.
Answered from the rental conditions and the measurements taken for this site.
Can I collect at the airport and drop the car in the south?
Yes, on the cars that allow it. Each direction is a separate search, and the search answers for your dates.
Is there a one-way fee?
A one-way charge, where one applies, is shown on the car before you pay. The one-way cars are the delivery cars, which have had a higher starting price than the airport fleet in every window measured.
Can I drop the car at the airport for an early flight?
Yes. South coast to airport is available on the cars that allow it: the car is delivered to your resort address and returned at the airport.
Can I drop the car at a different resort from the one I collected in?
No. One way pairs the airport with the south-coast delivery point, in either direction. Playa del Ingles to Maspalomas is 3.5 km and about 8 minutes.
Does a one-way car come with the same terms as an airport car?
No. One-way cars are the delivery cars. In every window measured they held no deposit, required no credit card and had uncapped mileage, and they have all been manual without free cancellation. Each listing states its terms before you pay.
