Tenerife Car Rental – A Guide
By Thuri Louis
Tenerife Car Rental
With over 120 auto leasing companies on stunning Tenerife as well as a incomprehensible amount of Tenerife car hire agents, deciding which car rental company to decide on can be a mind-numbing encounter.
Do you decide on a familiar name, and then discover an evenly reputable local car hire firm is a large amount cheaper?
Do you choose a business just to discover when you arrive that they don’t have an office near to where you’re staying?
At Cheap Tenerife Car Rental we believe that if we are encouraging you to explore Tenerifes countryside, then we should also provide some information to help you decide which car hire company on Tenerife is best suited to your particular needs, so we have compiled this guide to help the decision making process.
Taking your hire car to La Gomera
Some people want to know if they can bring their rental car to other Islands. Most car leasing businesses on Tenerife don’t allow this. Some, like CICAR, allow you to take your rental car to La Gomera only.
However, the cost for taking a rental car, plus two passengers to La Gomera can be around 145 on the Fred Olson ferry and around 130 on the Naviera Armas ferry, so it might work out cheaper to hire a car once you’re there.
Petrol prices on Tenerife
Petrol is considerably cheaper in the Canary Islands than in many other places; at the time of writing, around 0.80 per litre for unleaded (sin plomo 98), obviously this varies. The island is well served by petrol stations, so most of the time you don’t have to worry about running out of fuel.
However there are some incredibly long stretches where there aren’t any stations and we have included warnings about these areas in our website. There are also extensive differences in prices between various companies on Tenerife.
PCAN and Texaco are usually a few cents cheaper per litre than BP, Shell and Repsol with CEPSA falling somewhere in between.
Parking
It seems common sense, but having read the occasional report on travel watchdog websites of people having their hire car towed away, Im not so sure. Treat parking exactly as you would at home. Don’t park on yellow lines and be wary where you see blue lines; these ordinarily mean you need to feed the parking meter.
Above all don’t imagine that because everyone else is double parked, parking on crossings, corners and anywhere there is the smallest space, that you can do the same, unless you want to invoke sods law.
Insurance
Its worth checking with your car insurance company if your policy covers you when driving abroad. If it does, you may not need insurance through the car hire firm on Tenerife.
Tenerife car rental is a excellent way to explore the fascinating island, but don’t waste your valuable time and hard earned money on the wrong deals. Learn how to avoid the pitfalls and find the cheapest Tenerife Car rental on our website.
