Transport in Fuerteventura
Which means of transport to use at your destination?
This is always a concern for travellers because of the lack of knowledge about how public transport works, the possibilities of renting a car and the safety of driving on the roads, or whether it is a destination to be transported by bike or by foot. In short, we all wonder when we travel which is the best option to get around? And in this case, what is the best option to travel around Fuerteventura?
The truth is that the decision of how to move around the island depends on many factors: where you stay, the economic options you have, the time available or your travel plans in Fuerteventura.
How does public transport work in Fuerteventura?
The Bus company that operates is Tiadhe, which has about 17 lines that connect most points of the island, so if you move to the most centric points of Fuerteventura you won't have a problem. The trouble with travelling by bus is that you won't be able to get to the most hidden or least accessible beaches on Fuerteventura. For example, for surfers, it isn't a good option to move around Fuerteventura by public transport. The price of the ticket will depend on the distance travelled, but the standard price is approximately 1.50 euros.
Is it possible to rent a car on Fuerteventura?
In fact it is the most comfortable option if you travel to Fuerteventura. If it is true that it isn't the cheapest option but it can be a great choice if you are travelling as a family with children, or if your intention is to travel the island from North to South and visit all the corners of Fuerteventura without restrictions. When driving a car in Fuerteventura there are some things to consider such as being careful with some non-paved roads (the road to Cofete, Ajuy or La Pared beach among many others) or the presence of only one motorway road that crosses the whole island where in some parts the maximum speed allowed is exceeded. Although, driving along the miles of roads of Fuerteventura is one of the things you have to do when you visit the island, it is spectacular!
If your idea is to relax and rest in a villa or hotel you book in a specific place such as Corralejo in the north or Morrojable in the south, it is recommended to get in a taxi or bicycle and not to spend too much money on renting a car as you won't be able to use it as much as you could. This is one of the ways you can save money in Fuerteventura.
These are the many and diverse options you have for transport in Fuerteventura, although all of them are very viable.
