Tip Of The Day: Cigarette Prices In Gran Canaria

Cigarettes are cheaper in town than in the duty free Cigarettes are cheaper in town than in the duty free

Cigarette prices in Gran Canaria are still amongst the cheapest in Europe and it is almost always cheaper to buy them in a supermarket or local shop than in the airport duty-free.

A pack of twenty Marlboros, and most equivalent premium brands, costs around €3.20 in small shops all over the island while a carton of 200 Marlboros can be as cheap as €28 in local supermarkets and specialist shops. 

The only reason to buy ciggies at the airport is if you know that you can only get a particular brand in duty-free (but check around as resort shops stock a wide range).

Buying before you get you the airport hs another advantage: You can pack them away in your luggage and forget about them. 

Remember that Gran Canaria is outside the EU customs union so you are technically only allowed to take 200 cigarettes per person back to EU countries.

    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.
