According to local news reports, the latest draft of the Canary Islands holiday rental law makes it much easier for owners to rent out their Gran Canaria property short-term.

It states that owners can rent to tourists, provided that they declare their intention to rent and that their property is legal and has its habitability certificate, without needing the express permission of the building's community association (communidad).

However, these conditions don't apply in areas designated as tourist resorts (suelo turístico). In a nutshell, if we understand this right, it means that properties in buildings and complexes outside tourist areas can be rented to tourists, but properties in buildings and complexes inside tourist areas can't be. 

Also, communidades will still be able to ban holiday lets if enough of the members vote to rewrite their statutes to include a ban.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
