Top tips for renting a car in Tenerife

  • A truly nice feature of driving here is that because this is such a small island, getting from place to place is going to be quite quick and simple. When it is time to park your vehicle and start exploring, you'll find a lot of free on-street parking throughout the island, even in busy tourist areas. Because there is mountainous terrain here, driving in this area can be a little bit difficult because of the narrow and winding roads.
  • Because this island is a part of Spain, the rules regarding car seats for children are the same here as it is in Spain. If your child is less than 15 months old, they need to travel in a car seat, and it is important that this car seat faces the rear. Beyond that age and up to four years old, children also need to travel in a car seat, but in this case, the car seat can face the front of the vehicle. Beyond the age of four, kids need to travel in a booster seat up to the age of six and then on top of a booster cushion up to the age of 12.
  • When visitors travel to this island, they often don't think about taking their car to another country because they first need to consider how they will get the car off the island in the first place. There is a ferry service available to take you from the island to mainland Spain so if you want to take your rental car into another country, discuss both taking a vehicle on a ferry as well as taking it into another country with your rental car company before you start driving.
  • Something that visitors on vacation to this island should remember with driving is that even though the vibe of the island is quite laid-back, you will still find speed cameras on the island. One of the most popular drives you can make on this island is to make the journey to Mount Teide National Park, which is going to offer some of the most breathtaking views of both the island and the water you will find on this island. Something important to remember about driving here is that all of the gas stations on the island sit on the southwestern coast, so make sure you fill up before you start out on an adventure.

  • Should I rent a car in Tenerife?

    If you are only visiting the island for a short time or you only plan on staying in one spot, there's not much you need to rent a car. If, however, you plan on doing a lot of exploring then having a rental car is most certainly going to be your best option. While there are public transportation options that travel between major population centers, if you plan on doing any exploring into more rural areas of the island, this type of transportation will not be an option. You can also choose to take a taxi, but this can get quite expensive in a hurry.

  • What is driving like in Tenerife?

    For starters, drivers here will drive on the right side of the road. Every passenger in a vehicle needs to wear a seatbelt, and children ages 12 and younger cannot ride in the front seat. Speed limits will vary throughout the island but are quite low in several spots of this smaller island where there is more population. You may not use any type of electronic device while driving unless you do so in a hands-free manner.

  • How old do I need to be to rent a car in Tenerife?

    Most of the major rental car companies here will expect drivers to be at least 21 years old, plus they will need to have held a full and valid driver's license for at least one year before the start of their rental. If you are between 21 and 25 years old, you may have an additional charge added to your rental, and there could be a limit on the type of vehicle you can rent. This may mean you cannot read things like luxury vehicles or premium dance.
