Advantages of travelling with your car by ferry

Travelling with your car by ferry to the Canary Islands provides exceptional freedom to explore or move around the archipelago. With the convenience of bringing your vehicle onboard, you can tour the islands at your own pace, reach less accessible areas, discover picturesque villages, and move with total autonomy, without needing to depend on public transport timetables or the costs of a car rental.

In addition to mobility flexibility, this option allows you to bring everything you need with you without worrying about weight or luggage restrictions. This makes it the most convenient alternative for families, business professionals, and travellers moving house to the Canary Islands alike.

Ferry to Tenerife with a car

If you travel by ferry to Tenerife with a car, you will arrive at the port of Santa Cruz, the capital and a strategic point to start your trip. Having your own vehicle is the best option to move around comfortably and discover natural treasures such as Mount Teide and Anaga.

From here, you can venture along the northern roads to explore its picturesque villages, or take the southern motorway to quickly access its beaches.

Ferry to Gran Canaria with a car

Travelling by ferry to Gran Canaria with a car gives you the opportunity to explore the interior of the island at your own pace and with total freedom, discovering historic municipalities such as Teror or Firgas.

The Fred. Olsen Express ship arrives in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the island's capital, where you can comfortably explore its iconic historic centre of Vegueta or take a swim at the well-known Las Canteras beach right after disembarking.
