Tenerife is one of the most popular destinations for UK travellers. So, we make sure that car hire in Tenerife is a seamless experience, starting with our friendly English-speaking agents. We cover the major areas and towns on the island, including Costa Adeje and both Tenerife North and Tenerife South Airports. With SIXT you can enjoy this sunshine paradise in one of our premium, yet affordable hire cars – our convertibles will enhance your exotic holiday experience, or you could explore the island with your family in an MPV with large windows. All of our cars are from top brands and only three months old on average, offering you affordable luxury to help you get the most out of your trip.

SIXT services in Tenerife

Our Tenerife car hire branches across the island offer you all types of vehicle suited to the local terrain. For scooting around quickly and hassle-free, choose a compact or economy model, and throw in a sat nav as a bookable extra to guide you. If a saloon or luxury car is more your style, the good roads on the island make these a pleasure drive. Travelling in a larger group or on holiday with the family? You can have a minibus or MPV, with child seats available as an extra you can book. And whether you need a weekly rental or a long-term rental, we have that and everything in-between.

Best places to visit in Tenerife

La Laguna: Known as the Florence of the Canary Islands, visit this town at the north end of Tenerife if you're interested in the historic side of the island. Its old churches are so significant that it's now a World Heritage Site. It's also where one of the island's two main airports are, so it's a bustling tourist town, full of holiday spirit.

Granadilla de Abona: This town on the south coast of Tenerife is the home of windsurfing and other seaside activities. It also has a mountain with a spectacular panoramic view, the second-highest point on the island. It's also a wind-farming centre and the site of the Red Mountain volcano. The town is serviced by Tenerife's other airport, Reina Sofia Airport.

Costa Adeje: Famed for its beaches, colourful facades and nightlife, this is the upmarket entertainment town on Tenerife. The sea is warm and the whole place is all about relaxing in holiday luxury. Here you can go on boat trips or jet ski, play golf, or visit Aqualand for the dolphin shows. It's the island's playground region, with high-end boutiques looking out onto golden beaches.

It was a second time when we were rented a car in the south airport on Tenerife. And both time the provided service was excellent! This time my husband and I were served by Virginia. Absolutely outstanding service! She was friendly, knowledgeable and very hospitable for Tenerife's guests. Virginia gave us options to update a car we were renting, she gave us good insurance plan. We wish, all rented companies have service as SIXT.

I booked a Peugeot 308 but during check-in at the Airport Sixt kiosk was available only Audi A1 (no problem at all:). The car was absolutely clean and washed :) Service at the airport was fast. The return of the car was very good signaged and incredibly fast :D nothing just park a car (I was little bit surprised, but ok:) nobody checked the car. I would be a little bit more calm when somebody takes the car personally and check it with me. I was expected that, because till that moment I used to rent just motorcycles, and the owner checked the motorbike everytime in returning moment. Generally - I am more than satisfied with service of Sixt company :) Thank youuuuu.
