If you are visiting the Canary Islands and in particular Tenerife, and are looking for a little more than a beach holiday, then you may want to consider hiring a car while you are there. The island of Tenerife has plenty to offer and you will need a car to make the most of your stay there.

It is usually possible to pick up a car directly from the airport, either Tenerife North (at Santa Cruz de Tenerife) or Tenerife South (Reina Sofia airport) - booking in advance is advisable in this case, and this would also have the benefit of saving money on taxi fares etc. However if this is your first visit to Tenerife or you have not previously driven in the Canary Islands, you may wish to get to your destination first and then hire a car, giving you the chance to practise a little before heading for the major roads.

Insurance - Be sure you have adequate and suitable insurance to cover yourself and your family.

Child Seats - Book these in advance if you need them, there will normally be an extra charge for these.

Air-conditioning - When booking from the UK you may not feel that this is necessary but if you are visiting Tenerife during the hot summer months it is an essential addition to your car hire requirements, so make sure the car has air-conditioning.

Excess Payments - Make sure you know the excess payment that you will be liable for if you have an accident - these can vary considerably.

Damage - Be certain to inspect the car for damage before you drive off and point out any damage to the car hire representative, you don’t want to be charged for damage that you didn’t cause and some Tenerife car hire companies are very strict and will charge you for the slightest scratch.
