Frequently Asked Questions
Tenerife South Airport is a gateway to the popular resorts of Playa de Las Americas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje. The airport is also the ideal hire car pick-up location for holidaymakers who want to explore Tenerife’s stunning volcanic landscapes (the island is dominated by Mount Teide) and visit some of the beautiful towns and villages away from the tourist hotspots.
The airport welcomed over nine million passengers in 2014, and it serves around 130 destinations across the UK and mainland Europe. Each year, we help many visitors find cheap car hire deals at Tenerife South Airport.
To cope with the demands of tourists, the airport has become a hub for well-known car hire companies and local firms (who are often based off-site), all competing for business. On our site, you will find deals from big brands like Hertz, Avis and Budget, as well as local companies like Orlando Rent a Car. We bring you exclusive car hire deals, all year round.
Although getting a great price is easy, it can be hard to know which companies offer the best overall value for money and customer satisfaction. Cars often come as part of a special offer, helping you save your hard-earned cash; offers can include a free additional driver or Collision Damage Waiver with zero excess at no extra cost.
We also give you access to impartial advice by asking each customer to feedback on their rental experience. You can see exactly what they have to say about each company when you search for a car on our site. After all, we want you to have access to honest advice that will assist your decision when choosing who to rent with.
No matter what type of car you are looking for, you are sure to find the right one for you thanks to the extensive range of car groups. From mini and economy cars (great if you don’t need a lot of space) to family-sized estates, sleek convertibles and spacious 9-seater people carriers, there are plenty of cars to pick from at Tenerife South Airport.
To make your search even easier, you can filter the results to show cars based on your own needs and preferences — from size to specifications (such as cars with automatic transmission or air conditioning). We explain exactly what is included upfront, so you know just what you are getting for your money.
- A short road links the airport to the TF-1 motorway, which connects you to the main tourist resorts and the island’s capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
- The majority of the companies have their pick-up counters in the terminal itself, giving you the easiest possible start to your holiday.
- If you are happy to take a shuttle bus to get to your car, renting with an off-site company can often save you money.
- To avoid any unexpected fuel charges when you drop the car off, many people book a car with a full-to-full fuel policy (simply make sure you fill up the tank just before the end of your rental and you won’t pay any fuel charges at the counter).
- Make sure your hire car has air conditioning to keep you comfortable in the heat. Although Tenerife is hottest from May-September, the island enjoys warm temperatures all year round.
- Book your hire car as far in advance as possible, as demand can be high in the summer.
