Also, no need to guess how much petrol you need to put into the car when you return it. Also, you may leave or pick up a car at both Tenerife airports in north or south. You can also decide any time and collect it at one of its many agencies, such as in La Paz Puerto de la Cruz and other towns on the island.

Why would you do that?
You would do so to extend your holidays by more quality time. You may even save financially. Also, you may have a business appointment somewhere. Mind, you will look better when you present yourself with an impressive car. However, I only agree with that, to an extent. And anyway, often you need a good car which will not break down on you, and which is not for vacation, but for work to be able to make money.

Use car rental Tenerife with Europcar. Profit from their specials.

Also mind, that you absolutely need a car to transport your pets. That could be a cat, meercat, parrot or your dog. Animals are not admitted in Tenerife buses, trams or taxis. By the way, be curtous! Give your dog a big blanket, as not to dirty the hired car. Clean off any dog hairs left on seats by your animal...

A bad experience with cheap local car hire

I have come across bad car rental in Tenerife. Then, exhausts showed already on several cars that their engines were rather old. The clutch and brakes of the particular car was not in good condition. Would you consider to rent such cars because of extra low prices? To negotiate such cheap vehicle hire isn't worth it. This happened when a couple of Swedish girls and I did a trip to Playa de las Americas, a few years ago. The particular car dealer is still around.

You often read of families who took the bus from the south of the island to see attractions, such as Loro Park in the north or vice versa by others who went to the south.

Just now read an interesting small project for a feasibility of Titsa bus versus car rental Tenerife!

Trip Puerto de la Cruz - Playa de las Americas

3 bonobus cards by Titsa of €30 each = €90 The bus fares set you back about €80 for both ways for a family of 5.

Lets assume that you pay in the region of €115
for a very simple 2 door car which you return in the
morning, 2 days later. This gives you two days and
nights with a rented car.
Also, you are free to come back late from trips, when
buses don't operate any more, generally. Not to forget,
the flexibility you are winning to stop wherever you
wish and to change direction when you fancy it,
while you can bring a bit more luggage or sports
equipment in the car boot.

You can easily see Mount Teide and its Cañadas,
the capital Santa Cruz, la Orotava, Loro Park, Puerto de
la Cruz, Siam Park or Aquapark at Playa de las Americas,
all in two days.

Car theft with car rental Tenerife?

Don't worry, it is very seldom that a traveler has his car stolen in Tenerife.

Why?

Escape routes are rather limited by the ocean all around it.

Less problems for your Tenerife car rental may occur in a side street of a big city than on a main road, unless your hotel or holiday home in Tenerife provides safe parking for you. Your car is more likely to be broken in, to be vandalized or to disappear for a joyride from a busy street with much traffic. There, drivers must keep their eyes on the road.

Unlocked doors, windows which can be opened, false spiders and snakes on seats are all less efficient deterrents than a removed battery. It would take a while to discover this for a thief, who seldom runs around town with a spare one. On the other hand, radios and other built-in gadgets would always be insured with car rental Tenerife.

Payment, Accidents and collisions

• Foreigners who are not residents need to show their passport,
  for identification and to prove their minimum age of 18 years. Show an authorized copy of your driving license, in case, it's not printed in your passport. Otherwise, a plastic card license is the norm in many countries, such as Tenerife, nowadays
• Third party damage and straight forward collision damage is
  always part of basic insurance cover.
• Never sign a car rental Tenerife contract for somebody
  who shouldn't drive. You will be liable in the case of car trouble.
• Visa Credit card is best for online payment for car rental Tenerife
  or anywhere else, as it gives you special CDW insurance cover.
• Find more information about it at wikipedia.org regarding
  damage waiver and car excess insurance
• Always have good sun glasses for driving a hire car in Tenerife, as the southern light opposite Africa can be almost blinding...

In case of an accident

• Record the number plate of the other party you've collided with if you can.
• Make as many photos of the accident or have them done by a companion
• You absolutely need personal data of the other party which is involved in the collision. This is for your accident claim form.
• Always call your Visa card emergency number
• In case that you are a member of the European AA (automobile association) contact them, also.
• The AA will bring you home for free.
• Know that absolutely all documents of the accident
  are needed which includes at least 2 pictures of the collision.

Tomtom, Michelin and other route navigation gadgets

However, always take your portable GPS car navigation system with you and don't leave it in the vehicle.

Computerized navigation systems are car rental Tenerife's best friends, as street names are seldom to be seen in time on the biggest of all Canary Islands.

Number one of traveler tips for the road?

Why book car rental Tenerife early

Why book online?

Secondly, don't expect to find a good car rental Tenerife deal when you arrive at the airport.
The car which you want may not be there. My friend César experienced this. He had to accept unpleasant conditions of car rental Tenerife when he arrived at the South airport from Majorca. Then, he had to take a car he had not wanted, which was in March and not even in high season. His budget didn't allow other agents.

Hi Season brings the risk of first comes, first served, even more. It is self understanding that the best car rental Tenerife company will offer you any car, when all else is booked. That could be an old one, which they had to get from the back of the store. Often car rental Tenerife companies have socios.(partners) That means that they help each other when booked out of cars for hiring. So book Europcar early...
