Airport Car Rental
Rent a car at Tenerife South Airport! The Canary Island is famous for its beaches, so hop in your rental car and start exploring! Las Vistas Beach in Los Cristianos has a reputation for great parties, Las Galletas is calmer and popular with the locals, and Los Gigantes is otherworldly, with its black sand and impressively huge cliffs, while El Médano Beach is a kitesurfer’s paradise. You’ll find countless opportunities to scuba dive, jet-ski, and surf, or simply swim and soak up the sun.
Drive your rental to the village of Los Abrigos to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and see the colorful fishing boats. If you’re up for something more active, drive to El Teide, the highest mountain — take the cablle car and hike to the top and you’ll be rewarded with amazing views. The Masca Valley cliffs are another terrific place to hike. Note, however, that you must obtain prior approval for both hikes. Back in town, enjoy a typical Canarian meal of papas arrugadas (potatoes with rock salt), potaje de berros (a spicy stew), and Conejo al Salmorejo (rabbit in a delicious sauce).
In the northeast, the fairytale Anaga Mountains await you with good hiking opportunities and worthwhile vantage points. On the way back, a stop at Playa da las Teresitas, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, is also worthwhile. On the north coast, Puerto de la Cruz offers a picturesque old town with numerous street arts. The botanical garden is also worth a visit here. From there, drive up into the mountains and also visit the pretty town of La Orotava.
You can also reach the other highlights of the north coast by rental car. Worth visiting are El Drago and the butterfly house in Icod de los Vinos, the natural pools of Garachico and Punta de Teno with it’s lighthouse. The whale skeleton in Los Silos is also impressive to look at.
Tenerife a truly great destination, so why not extend your stay? With a longer term car rental deal, you can explore the island’s less touristy areas and get a feel for how the locals live. And if your car provider allows it, you can take your car on a ferry to another island. You can even pick up your rental at Tenerife South Airport and drop it off at a different location. Start planning your adventure today!
Tenerife Airport South is also known as Aeropuerto de Tenerife Sur and Tenerife South–Reina Sofia Airport.

We toured around and across the Island, visiting many lovely little villages. The Northern coast is less touristic and definitely worth while. Restaurante Silogia, in the village Santa Cruz de Tenerife, was particularly nice: Romantic spot on the square, secluded terras, local food prepared well. I don't mention the friendly service, because that is the norm everywhere on the island. We visited a vineyard on a mountain slope facing to the Northern coast. From their Bodegas Monje, you have a flight of wines to taste and a beautiful sunset view.
Another restaurant that we recommend is called Qapaq. It is Peruvian, the ambiance is really simple, but the seefood is delicious whatever you chose from the menu.
The capital city is worth spending more than one day. With its lively and friendly atmosphere, shopping, strawling, and enjoying the parks and architecture time flies. When planning a hotel, consider that parking maybe a challenge. Visit the city walking or using buses.

I travel to Canaries quite often. This time we traveled some 600 km in a week. Country is hilly and if someone wants to travel on hilly highways and go up to volcano definitely needs better engine than standard 1.0-1.2 litres motors usually found as basic in small cars segment.

If you are on five days or more in Tenerife, the best is to visit the southern part of the island Adeje, Los Cristianos, and Los Americanos. Don't forget to go to Los Gigantes.
The northern side of the island is amazing too. Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Puerto De la Cruz are stunning as well.
All Island around you can drive in around 3 hours.
Highly recommended.
