A holiday in Tenerife is certainly not complete without a hire car. The reason for this is simple: the island is very large and literally full of things to do and see. Since the roads are in excellent condition, the rental is cheap and petrol costs less than one euro per litre, renting a car in Tenerife is the best choice to enjoy the island to the fullest, with freedom and complete autonomy.
Renting a car in Tenerife is also ideal for reaching areas and places that would otherwise be difficult to visit, such as the Teide National Park, the Cliffs of the Giants or simply the historic towns of La Orotava or San Cristobal de la Laguna.
In addition, with a hire car it will be possible to explore the island’s capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife and its beautiful beach, Playa de Las Teresitas. It will also be easier and less tiring to reach the two most famous theme parks in the Canaries: Loro Parque and Siam Park.
Of course, those who intend to stay in a hotel for the entire holiday and not move around may well do without, but why not take the opportunity to set off and visit the wonders of Tenerife?
Whether you disembark at Tenerife North or Tenerife South airport, there is no shortage of car rental options. Both airports are home to practically all car rental companies, ranging from well-known international brands such as Hertz, Avis, Europcar or Sixt, to smaller international companies such as Cicar or Cabrera Medina, which offer more competitive and advantageous prices with less attention to detail.
Here are some useful tips for renting a car in Tenerife without any hassle.
It is important to remember that the best deals are obtained by booking your car via the internet, several months in advance. Rushing to rent a car at the last minute will only result in higher prices and limited fleet availability, so it is essential to move early, with the assurance that if any problem should occur, free cancellation of the booking will allow you to recover the full cost of the rental.
Once you have chosen your rental car, make sure that the fuel policy is full/full: this means that you will be given the car with a full tank, and you will have to return it with the same amount of fuel.
On the other hand, the full/empty policy will allow you to return the car with an empty tank, but at a much higher refuelling cost than if you had filled it up yourself. Considering then that fuel in the Canaries costs less than one euro per litre, it is easy to see that the full/full policy is absolutely the one to choose.
Finally, remember that to rent a car you need to show a credit card as guarantee at check-in, which must be in the driver’s name.
So no booking with dad’s credit card, unless of course he is also taking part in the trip!
The rules, limits and everything you need to know about driving a car in Tenerife are the same as in the other Canary Islands and Spain: read more about them in the sections Driving in Spain and Driving in the Canaries.
