What you should know when renting a car La Palma
Driving in La Palma is, for many visitors, a rewarding and surprising experience. However, like any mountainous island, it has certain peculiarities that you should be aware of before getting behind the wheel. In this article, Ferraz Rent a Car would like to offer some practical advice to ensure a safe and pleasant driving experience during your stay.
Firstly, it is important to bear in mind that many of the island’s roads are narrow, with sharp bends and steep slopes. It is therefore advisable to drive with caution, especially if you are not used to this type of layout. Ferraz Rent a Car provides vehicles in perfect condition, with revised brakes and suitable tyres, ideal to face these conditions safely.
Another important aspect is respect for local signs and courtesy at the wheel, values that are very common among the residents of La Palma. In rural areas it is common to find pedestrians, cyclists or animals on the road, so it is recommended to moderate speed and be attentive at all times. It is also advisable to find out about refuelling points, as in some areas of the island the petrol stations may be further apart.
Finally, parking in urban centres such as Santa Cruz de La Palma or Los Llanos de Aridane is usually easy outside peak times, although in high season it may require a little more patience. Ferraz Rent a Car vehicles include insurance and assistance, which provides additional peace of mind in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.
By following these basic guidelines, driving in La Palma is not only possible, but highly recommended. Thanks to the support of Ferraz Rent a Car, visitors can focus on enjoying their trip, with the confidence of being in the hands of an expert company committed to the wellbeing of its clients.
