GoByCar is cheapest at Gran Canaria Airport for a Compact car over the last 12 months, averaging £21 a day from 756 prices, but you need a credit card for the deposit. GoByCar has an airport desk, scores 87/100 from 60 reviews and averages an 18-minute pickup wait, so the lower price does not mean giving up a review score.
