Advice On Hiring A Car In Tenerife
There are a number of companies offering car hire on Tenerife but as it is now high season for the Canary islands, to ensure that you get the car you want it is better to prebook your car for collection at the airport as it saves time and cuts down on transfer costs. Also it is often the case that the further in advance you rent a car the bigger the discount offered. If you have a hire car waiting for you at the airport you can be on your way without waiting for a bus or a taxi. It is relatively easy to drive here as finding your way around the Island of Tenerife is pretty straightforward.
The main companies at Tenerife South Airport and Tenerife North Airport offering car hire are: Betacar, Autos Reisen, Avis and Cicar. We have joined forces with a company called CarTrawler who match your requirements against a large database of local car hire firms and then offer you the best rates for car hire at both Tenerife Airports. They will provide a free online local, national and international quote for your Spanish Car hire, but just to give you some indication of costs: a Peugeot 206 or similar hired for seven days during the last week in November (Saturday to Saturday) in Tenerife will cost you under £100 (this quotation includes collision damage waiver, theft protection, third party liability, VAT, unlimited mileage and airport fees). There are usually some good deals to be had so it is worth contacting Cartrawler to save you shopping around.
As well as middle of the road functional cars many car hire companies in Tenerife are now expanding into the growing market of luxury car rentals so if you are travelling on a business expense account, or simply want to indulge a dream, you can now explore Tenerife in a vehicle which is far from ordinary. Driving a BMW 3 Series Cabriolet or four wheel drive vehicle is not always possible on a long-term basis, but renting a car means that you can live the fantasy at least for the duration of your holiday. Once you have hired your ideal car the last thing you will want to do is get out of it in a hurry, so make the most of it by planning trips in advance and parade around the city centre or just enjoy a scenic drive.
