Car Hire Tenerife Useful Information

Driving in Tenerife, a popular Canary Island in Spain, can be a pleasant and convenient way to explore the island's diverse landscapes, attractions, and towns. Here's some information to help you plan your driving experience in Tenerife with your Hire Car:

Roads and Signage:

Tenerife has a well-developed road network, including highways, local roads, and mountainous routes. The quality of the roads is generally good, with well-maintained surfaces. Signage is clear and follows international standards. Most road signs are in Spanish, but you will also find important signs in English and other languages, especially in tourist areas.

Type of Car To Hire:

The type of car you should hire depends on your travel plans. For general exploration of the island, a compact or midsize car is suitable. If you plan to explore the mountainous interior, consider a car with a more powerful engine for steep and winding roads. Convertibles and open-top cars are popular choices for enjoying the island's scenic drives, but keep in mind that Tenerife's weather can change quickly.

Airports:

Tenerife has two major airports: Tenerife North Airport (TFN, also known as Los Rodeos Airport) and Tenerife South Airport (TFS, also known as Reina Sofía Airport). The airport you choose to fly into depends on your destination and preferences. Tenerife North Airport primarily serves domestic flights and is closer to the northern and central parts of the island. Whilst Tenerife South Airport is the main international gateway and serves destinations primarily in Europe and beyond. It is located near the popular tourist areas in the south of the island.

Nearest Resorts:

Tenerife is a relatively small island, so many towns and attractions are within reasonable driving distance of each other. Here are some of the nearest towns and areas to the airports and popular tourist destinations:
Santa Cruz de Tenerife: The capital city, located near Tenerife North Airport.
La Laguna: A historic town and UNESCO World Heritage site near Tenerife North Airport.
Puerto de la Cruz: A charming resort town in the northern part of the island.
Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas: Popular tourist areas in the south, near Tenerife South Airport.
Teide National Park: Home to Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, and unique volcanic landscapes.
Masca: A picturesque mountain village with stunning views and hiking opportunities.

Making use of a hire car and driving in Tenerife is a great way to explore its beautiful beaches, volcanic landscapes, charming towns, and cultural attractions.

Enjoy your visit to Tenerife!
