By bus
The public bus service, Arrecife Bus, serves the whole island frequently and punctually. The ticket is paid directly on board and the price depends on the length of the route.
The buses are clean and air conditioned. Many have a monitor on which the next stops are indicated, so you always know where you are.
The bus is very convenient for move from the airport to the various areas of the island with lines 22 and 23. Unfortunately, however, some tourist attractions (for example the Timanfaya park) are not served by the public service.
In that case, if you want to travel by bus, you will have to get off at the nearest stop and then continue by taxi. Alternatively you can book some organized tours with guide.
On the website www.arrecifebus.es you will find all the timetables and bus routes of Lanzarote.
By car
The car is the ideal means of transport for those who do not want to miss even a corner of the beautiful Lanzarote. There are several car rental companies which you can contact.

Lanzarote is a wild island and cycling is not for everyone. However, if you are fit and love to "breathe the road" and enjoy the landscapes around without filters, you can opt for a bicycle.
There are several companies on the island that rent bikes.
