We were there last year and everywhere is accessible for not much money. The most expensive taxi ride we took cost 20 euros and that was a 40 minute ride.
They were good, really efficient and the car was fine, picked it up full and returned it full, only thing I would say is book in advance as it makes it a lot easier at the airport to pick up...no long queues.
I did loads of research on the Trip Advisor forums first for recommendations and they were the top of the recommendations.

I'll also add the roads are excellent!
I assume accidents and thefts are rare in Lanzarote
No deposit on a card, no hidden fees etc - there's nothing worse than getting off a flight and having to wait in a long queue only to be on the wrong end of someone trying to upsell you insurance for 20 mins when all you want is to get on your way.
It sounds a ball ache but it's really not and the freedom and independence having a car gives you is well worth it. One big advantage if you're going on a package holiday is that you drive straight to your hotel when you arrive and don't have to take part in the multi-hour multi-drop-off coach journey. Likewise on the return.

I try to use 'key and go' rates if I'm on mainland Spain or a Beleric now. Ok the price is higher but once you factor in buying a separate insurance policy it's not much more. The time saving and hassle free collection/pickup make it worth the extra. You walk up to a machine scan a QR code, choose your car and the keys magically appear along with the car's parking location. I've always been upgraded too - except in Mallorca where i ended up with a DR 5.0 which despite being brand now was a truly awful motor car and I longed for a beaten up fiat panda with no air con or clutch.....
Side Story - last time i didn't use key & go on mainland spain i dropped the car off and popped the keys in the box (usual 4am ryanair flight time). Took many pictures of the car inside out, mileage etc and it was immaculate. Hertz refunded my deposit back onto my card a day or so later.
A few weeks later I received a bill from them in the post claiming damage. The pictures they sent me were taken a few days after i'd dropped the car off and was clearly in a different location to where i'd left it. They sent a few chasers then it all went quiet when covid hit - not heard anything since but i was totally ready for them to try and pursue me for the debt through the courts as i was armed to the teeth with evidence plus they'd already refunded me the deposit back thus completing the agreement.
