Accepted Answer

Although fluctuations do occur, fuel rates in Gran Canaria are roughly 25% lower than in the UK. Also, due to the general good fuel economy of rental vehicles, it’s likely that you’ll need less fuel to fill your hire car.

Question 7

We’ve had an accident, what should we do?

Accepted Answer

Most car hire companies have a basic waiver that covers damage, as well as third-party liability and theft protection. It’s important to know what you’re covered for in the event of an accident. Your domestic car insurance will likely not cover you while you’re abroad, but you can purchase travel insurance when you book with us.
Should you be involved in an accident, first make sure that everyone involved is safe and away from the vehicles. However, if anyone is badly injured or unable to move by themselves, do not move them. Call the appropriate emergency services. Your car hire provider should give you the relevant numbers, but it’s easy to remember that 112 is the local equivalent of 999. Be sure to exchange contact information with anyone else involved in the incident - other drivers and witnesses alike.
Finally, call your car hire company and let them know what’s happened. They will give you further guidance on handling the situation.
