First Time Visitor To Lanzarote (14 tips!)

[@anneandken]

Hi Mike, informative as usual, thank you. I have travelled to Lanzarote many times and needed medical help for the first time this year. The Tias health centre was not very helpful as they considered my issue not to be an emergency, although I did. This is when I discovered that my medical insurance didn't cover private healthcare - read the small print! Presumably some companies do but certainly not all.

Great information as usual and great that you included rough prices of taxis from the airport, alot of people including ourselves when we first visited had a pre booked private taxi which was 3 times as much as a local taxi. Since then we always hire a car as its just so easy, Thanks again for the videos

[@johnmcfarlane417]

Couldn’t believe how everything was so easy on our first visit in September which influenced us to book for next September as soon as we got home 😊

[@Rachel-z4u2y]

Great vid. I’ve just returned from my 5th time to Lanzarote twice alone and so easy and well organised by Jet2

[@joannad9142]

Wonderful again, thank you. We love driving in Lanzarote the roads are brilliant and much quieter than Tenerife.

[@daryllumb7934]

Great info as usual, Mike. Cheers

[@johnnymac26]

I do love the hiperdino some of them have a lovely wine selection great information as always

[@MichaelDunkerley-h8d]

Great information, as always. Just back and found this very helpful ❤

[@AmimanTravels]

Great information as usual 👍 We stay by the Grand Casino in PDC and never paid more than 15 euros for a airport taxi Another good tip for driving is if you are married your wedding ring is in the middle of the road 😂😂😂that's what we used to remember when driving in Greece. We have never driven in Lanzarote to many one way systems we would get lost 😂

[@DerekKenny-l2u]

Thanks Mike

[@maryhession7501]

Great advice as ever. 👍✈️

[@GalinaWolf-x8l]

Thank you so much, Mike! Could you recommend a well-reputed car hire company?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Of course: lanzaroteinformation.co.uk/car-hire/

[@NickCundill]

Hi Mike, great info as usual. Have visited the island previously and have a family hol booked for next year, i have looked into car hire and agree the rental prices are good - but the deposit rates are very high. Do you have any advice/recommendations for car hire companies that have better value deposits?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

We don’t charge any deposits: lanzaroteinformation.co.uk/car-hire/

[@radio1933]

Thank you Mike very informative. They are building a inter cambiador for the buses in Costa Teguise, it would be lovely if they had a bus stopping at the airport and maybe passing through Puerto del Carmen and on to Puerto Calero. Where could we enquire about this?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

The bus company are the people to ask about route plans: arrecifebus.com/en/contacto/

[@TheDaveBarlow]

Hi, I`m enjoying your content. Can we use debit card to pay bus fares on the island ?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

@@TheDaveBarlow Yep.

[@AlanThompson-c6u]

Can you please tell me if a blue badge issued in the UK is valid in Lanzarote. Thanks

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Yes it is.

[@TheKhirocks]

Would you reccomend getting a private transfer to Playa Blanca? 2 adults & 3 kids. If so are there any companies you reccomend?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Yes, these guys will be able to help you: www.book-online-transfers.com/en/lanzaroteinformation-airport-taxi?city_name=Lanzarote

[@Barneysma]

Thank you 😁. Is it correct that if you are driving a hire car you must have your passport with you as well as driving licence in case you are stopped please?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Not strictly speaking. But the law here is that you must have photo ID with you at all times, so if your Driver’s licence is a photo ID, that would suffice for a police stop. But if you live in a country that doesn’t have ID Cards, then having your passport with you is useful, if for example, you need medical treatment or are involved in an accident.

[@Barneysma]

@@LanzaroteInformation Thank you so much for clearing this up for me, it’s much appreciated.

[@craigmiddleton5935]

thanks for the information. Me and my wife will be arriving in Lanzarote on the 26/10. We have a transfer to our hotel and back through Jet2 but will be looking at hiring a car for a few days, could you advise us on where to hire from. Thanks

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Normally I’d say through us for the best price and service, but we don’t have cars available at the end of this month and into early November - they’re all booked out. Try Cabrera Medina.

[@craigmiddleton5935]

@@LanzaroteInformation thanks, I will do.

[@angelacollings6007]

Can you tell me how to ask for oat milk in a cafe - struggled with servers understanding this in Fuerterventura . Thank you😊

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Oat milk is "leche de avena.” pronounced letch-ay de avenna. But I’m not sure how many cafés will have it.

[@angelacollings6007]

@@LanzaroteInformation thank you Mike much appreciated. Arriving tomorrow- can’t wait for some sunshine !!

[@angelacollings6007]

@@LanzaroteInformation many thanks for your help. Here now and all cafes we have used have been obliging 👍

[@susanallan6819]

Which supermarket sells gluten free.

[@LanzaroteInformation]

They all do.

[@helenjackson7333]

Did you say you have a car hire company?

[@8080gaz]

Ya he does , he replied to a comment about it from someone asking about hiring a car

[@LanzaroteInformation]

We don’t have a car hire company, but we work with several on the island here, and we find the best price for your dates and type of car: lanzaroteinformation.co.uk/car-hire/

[@margaretreynolds9228]

WHAT I MENT WAS SORRY WHEN YOU SPEAK ABOUT AREAS ON THE ISLAND I KNOW THATS NOT NICE TO SAY IM SORRY BUT WHEN YOUR A CERTAIN AGE ITS A BIT HARD TO UNDERSTAND

[@LanzaroteInformation]

First of all, you can turn off the caps lock. Secondly, do you seriously want me to translate the names of places in Lanzarote into English? That would make no sense to anyone. “Visit the Saturday market at "I would do," then head down to "white beach," before having lunch at "The Gulf," and returning home to "reef.”

[@Bob-oy9tf]

Hi Mike, Another great video full of useful information. Thank you so much!
