How to find a cheap car hire deal in Tenerife

Finding cheap car hire deals in Tenerife is easy with Skyscanner. With many pick-up locations available, you can select the most convenient spot for you. We highlight car hire options that come with free cancellation for added flexibility in case your plans change. To save money, look for our 'full to full' deals, which ensure you only pay for the fuel you use. Additionally, we highlight keyless pick-up options to help you avoid queues and get on the road faster. Use our search to explore all the available locations and find the best deal for your trip.

The best time to book a car in Tenerife

To get the best deal on car hire in Tenerife, book around two weeks before your trip. June is the cheapest month for car hire on the island. Events like the Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife can impact availability, so during these times, secure your car hire further in advance.

What you'll need when hiring a car in Tenerife

Tenerife is a great place to explore with a hired car, and Skyscanner can help you find the best deals from multiple providers. In Spain, the minimum driving age is 18, but most providers require you to be at least 21 years old to hire a car. Some providers may charge a young driver surcharge for those under a certain age. To rent a car, you'll need a valid driving licence, and sometimes an international driving permit is required. Compare and choose the best car hire options to make your Tenerife adventure seamless and memorable.
