Car rental in Tenerife
4.7 (5)Costa Adeje
Canarias. com Rentacar is a useful middle ground between small local hire and big international chains.
It has many Tenerife offices, airport and hotel-style pickup options, no-excess insurance for eligible drivers and a relatively clear deposit rule: usually €100, higher for premium or special groups, with a credit card in the main driver's name.
Travellers mention quick paperwork at Costa Adeje, full insurance, easy extensions and helpful staff; one strong point is that damaged or unsuitable cars can be swapped without turning the holiday into a fight.

Excellent experience. Communication was easy and smooth from the beginning. The first car we received was not working perfectly, but the team handled the situation immediately and changed it without any hassle. The replaced car was spacious and worked very well on the challenging slopes of Tenerife. We also really appreciated the flexibility of picking up the car at one location and dropping it off at another, which made our trip much more convenient. Very good customer service throughout the whole process — responsive, and helpful. Vwry good price quality ratio. Easy experience. Recommended!

Great company who provided us with a lovely car for our holiday. Very clear & simple to get in touch & was very easy to extend our booking for another day. Special thanks to Agata who was super helpful & quick to help us out with any questions. Thank you!

Great company. Absolutely no hassle whatsoever. Full insurance included in your hire car, no additional insurances needed. Ordered the car. Someone collected me from our villa and took me to the office. Completed the paper work. Then taken to the car. All done in around 15 minutes. Dropping off was even easier! Park the car in the public car park return the keys with parking ticket. That's it. Received notification 30 mins later that hold on credit card has been released. I will Absolutely use Canarias.com again. Wonderful service.

I hired a couple of 9 seat Citroen mini buses which were great and very practical for what I needed. They were in very good condition inside and out and nice to drive. The team at the Duke shopping centre in Adeje were so helpful with all of my request's and keeping in touch with me quickly.
A special thanks to Tennessee and Agata for all of your help.

Great rental company! I turned up in the morning without booking, got a car keys within 10 mins, full insurance, only €100 deposit - this was returned to me within an hour after dropping the car off. No hidden traps and rip offs. Staff very helpful and professional. Maybe not the cheapest, but highly recommended for the peace of mind.

Photograph every side of the car, confirm fuel level, damage record, insurance/excess, return point and what to do if there is a breakdown or accident.
A compact car is easiest for resort parking and narrow village streets. Choose an automatic, stronger engine, SUV or larger car only if you need comfort for Teide, Anaga, luggage or a full family group.
Yes if you want Teide, Anaga, Masca, north-coast towns, hidden beaches or flexible weather backups. If you stay in one south resort and mostly use beaches, transfers and taxis may be simpler.
