Road-tripping Gran Canaria – from the Maspalomas dunes to the mountain roads around Tejeda – is one of the great pleasures of visiting the island.
And here’s some good news for your budget: Gran Canaria petrol prices are among the lowest in Europe, thanks to the Canary Islands’ special tax regime. We’re talking 30–40% less than you’d pay in the UK, Netherlands, or Germany.
Our live fuel price comparison tool pulls daily data from stations across the island, so whether you’re based in Las Palmas, Puerto Rico, or a quiet northern village, finding the cheapest petrol in Gran Canaria takes seconds.

Best Petrol Stations for Tourists
When it comes to cheap fuel in Gran Canaria, the independents win every time – and it’s not particularly close. Plenergy (formerly Plenoil), GMOil, and Disa consistently offer the most competitive rates, frequently undercutting major international chains by 10-20 cents per liter.
Major brands like Repsol, Cepsa, and Shell provide excellent service with multilingual staff and guaranteed card acceptance, but expect to pay premium prices – particularly at stations near Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), cruise ship terminals, and tourist hotspots like Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, and Puerto de Mogán.
Fuel Prices by Location in Gran Canaria
South Gran Canaria: Tourist areas around Maspalomas, San Agustín, Playa del Inglés, and Puerto Rico typically have higher fuel costs due to visitor demand. Save money by refueling in nearby towns like Vecindario, Agüimes, or Ingenio instead.
Las Palmas: The capital city offers some of Gran Canaria’s most competitive fuel prices thanks to high station density and strong competition. Areas like Miller Bajo, Tamaraceite, and the port zone frequently feature the island’s lowest rates.
North & Central: Villages in Arucas, Gáldar, Teror, and the mountainous interior maintain moderate pricing. While stations are less frequent than in urban areas, prices generally undercut southern tourist zones.
One thing worth knowing from personal experience: if you’re staying in the south and assume you’ll find a cheap station on the way to Maspalomas, you often won’t. We’ve started making a habit of topping up in Vecindario or Agüimes on the way down – consistently cheaper and only a short detour off the main road.

Gran Canaria fuel prices are notably stable year-round – which makes sense given the island runs on two peak seasons rather than one. Whether you’re visiting in July or January, you’re unlikely to hit dramatic price swings at the pump, so budgeting your car rental costs is straightforward regardless of when you travel.
