Car Hire at Santa Cruz de La Palma Port

from €11/day

Car hire at Santa Cruz de La Palma Port — from €11/day. Arriving by ferry or stepping off a cruise ship? It is easy to pick up a car right at the port of Santa Cruz de La Palma, a stone's throw from the historic centre of the capital. We hand the car over at the port — no extra transfers.

From the port it is easy to start exploring: a stroll through the old town of Santa Cruz de La Palma with its carved balconies and the Avenida Marítima seafront, a drive along the LP-2 to Los Cancajos and the southern Fuencaliente volcanoes, or west through the LP-3 to the Aridane valley.
