Yes. So-called island hopping between the Canary Islands is allowed and is a great way to explore the archipelago. If you plan to take the campervan on a ferry to another island, this must be coordinated with vanXcapes in advance. Please contact us before booking so we can confirm availability. Ferry connections should always be checked and booked ahead of time, especially the return ferry before the end of your rental period.
No. Smoking is strictly prohibited in all vanXcapes campervans to keep the vehicles clean and comfortable for all guests. If smoking inside the vehicle is detected, a 300 € penalty fee will be charged and an intensive interior cleaning will be required. In addition, guests who violate this rule may lose the possibility to rent a campervan from vanXcapes again in the future. That would be a pity.
Wild camping rules vary across the Canary Islands and depend on the specific island and local regulations. In general, overnight parking is often tolerated, but camping behavior (tables, chairs, awnings) is usually not allowed outside designated camping areas. Please always respect local rules, nature protection zones and private property. For a smoother trip, vanXcapes provides a curated POI map with recommended parking spots and overnight locations, which you automatically receive with your welcome email after booking.
