Bringing your own vehicle

Lanzarote is small enough to explore in a day, but with your own car or motorhome you are free of rental schedules – and the island hop to Fuerteventura takes the vehicle along. From mainland Spain the route is Cádiz–Arrecife, a single weekly sailing of about 26 hours. Vehicle fares are quoted by length, so compare them for your exact dates.

Lanzarote ferry FAQ

Playa Blanca to Corralejo takes about 25 minutes on the Fred Olsen Express fast ferry. Conventional ferries on the same route need roughly 35 minutes.
Four operators serve Playa Blanca–Corralejo: Fred Olsen Express, Naviera Armas, Baleària and Líneas Marítimas Romero. Fred Olsen Express alone runs around twelve crossings a day, so departures are spread across the day.
Yes – Naviera Armas sails Arrecife to Las Palmas in roughly 5 to 6¼ hours. It is not a daily service: the route runs around five times a week, so check the sailing days before planning a day trip.
Yes, via Cádiz. Naviera Armas sails Cádiz to Arrecife in about 26 hours, roughly once a week. It is the usual way to bring your own vehicle rather than renting one on the island – but with one sailing a week, dates need planning.
As a foot passenger on Playa Blanca–Corralejo expect fares from around €33 one way (live-checked Fred Olsen Express fare), depending on operator, date and fare type. For Arrecife–Las Palmas published figures vary widely; treat €50–80 as a rough guide only and check the live search. Vehicle rates are quoted separately by length.
For the short Fuerteventura hop the high frequency usually lets you travel at short notice. For Arrecife–Las Palmas and especially the weekly Cádiz–Arrecife crossing, book ahead: sailings are limited and vehicle space runs out first.
