How do I find cheap car hire at Tenerife North Airport?
Where you can collectCheap car hire at Tenerife North Airport comes out of the same search as every car on the island: set Los Rodeos as the pickup, enter your dates, and the results come back priced for that window. The car is handed over in the arrival area at the airport at Los Rodeos, the named handover place there. Los Rodeos has the second-widest choice of cars on the island after Tenerife South.
Cheap car hire in Puerto de la Cruz works the same way from a different starting point. Collecting in Puerto de la Cruz means one of the only named pickup points in any town on the island: Free parking Puerto de la Cruz, Parking Parque Taoro or the Guaguas bus station, or delivery to an address in the town. Puerto has the fourth-widest choice of cars on the island, after the two airports and Playa de las Americas, and it is about 26 minutes and 30 km from Los Rodeos without traffic.
What should I compare besides the daily price?
See live prices01 Book early and keep it cancellable
Each car shows whether it cancels free, and the search can be filtered for it, so a car booked early can be let go if the plans change.
02 Manual is most of the economy class
The economy class is mostly manual. Automatics are a minority of the list, found mainly in the compact and crossover classes rather than the economy one, so a driver who can take a manual has nearly all of the low end of the list to choose from.
03 The deposit, before you book
Each car shows its deposit on the listing before you book, and a no-deposit car at Tenerife North Airport is one of them. How the rest of the rental is paid, how the deposit is held and when it comes back are set out in the booking and in the voucher.
04 The card in the main driver's name
A physical, embossed credit card in the main driver's name may be required, and it has to be with you at pickup. Some suppliers accept a debit card, stated in the booking and the voucher; it too has to be physical, personalised, embossed and in the main driver's name.
05 The fuel rule
Return the car with the fuel level it had at pickup: a lower level is charged at the rental company's rates, and a fuller tank is not refunded. The nearest station to the terminal is a PCAN on the TF-152 at km 2.08, about 0.44 km away and open 24 hours. Fuel in the Canaries is cheaper than in mainland Spain or the UK; the islands apply neither IVA nor the state hydrocarbons excise.
06 The 24-hour minimum
The shortest chargeable rental is 24 hours, and a part day counts as a full one: Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon is charged as two days.
07 Mileage
Most cars on the island carry no mileage limit, and each car states its own mileage terms in the results.
08 Standard cover
Standard insurance does not cover the wheels, the undercarriage, the windscreen or the interior. That is the standard level; each car lists the cover levels on offer for it and what a higher level adds.

Is it cheaper to book early or wait?
Collecting at Tenerife South
Early. Into Christmas and the winter the cheap end of the list empties before the rest of it, and the lowest prices left after that sit higher. A car booked early with free cancellation can still be cancelled under its own terms if the plans change.
Seven-seaters are scarce, so a large party books earliest of all, and automatics are a minority of the list as well. If the dates can move by a week, run the search for both weeks: in winter the same search for two different weeks can return two different price floors.
Automatic or manual?
Check datesManual, if anyone in the party drives one: the economy class is mostly manual. If nobody does, filter for an automatic from the start of the search, because automatics are a minority of the list.
The drives out of Los Rodeos are short. La Laguna is about 9 minutes and 5 km, Santa Cruz about 13 minutes and 12 km, La Orotava about 24 minutes and 29 km, Puerto de la Cruz about 26 minutes and 30 km and Las Teresitas about 27 minutes and 21 km, all without traffic. The airport sits at 633 m, and the drive to Tenerife South for a flight home is about 64 minutes and 72 km; a one-way drop at Tenerife South Airport carries any one-way fee inside the price, and the two airports are the deepest one-way pairing on the island by a wide margin.
Frequently asked questions
Or just check datesThe questions below come up before a booking in the north: how the north airport compares, whether a booking can be cancelled, where else to collect and what to bring. The rental conditions are set out in full on the terms page.
Is car hire cheaper at Tenerife North Airport than at Tenerife South?
There is no fixed answer. Tenerife South has the widest choice of cars on the island and Tenerife North the second widest, and the price of a car depends on the dates. Run the search for your dates with each airport as the pickup and compare the two lists.
Can I cancel if I find a better price later?
Each car shows whether it cancels free, and the search can be filtered for free cancellation. Book one of those early and it can be cancelled under its own terms if a better price turns up.
Can I collect in Puerto de la Cruz instead of the airport?
Yes. Puerto de la Cruz has named pickup points, Free parking Puerto de la Cruz, Parking Parque Taoro and the Guaguas bus station, plus delivery to an address in the town. It is about 26 minutes and 30 km from Los Rodeos without traffic.
Where do I see the deposit before I book?
On the car's listing in the results. The booking and the voucher then set out how the rest of the rental is paid, how the deposit is held and when it is refunded.
What do I need to bring to collect the car?
The licence card itself, in Latin script and valid until at least the end of the rental, since copies and electronic licences are not accepted, and the card the booking asks for in the main driver's name, which may have to be a physical embossed credit card. The phone number you booked with has to be reachable from the day before pickup.
Can I return the car at Tenerife South?
Yes. The two airports are the deepest one-way pairing on the island by a wide margin, and Tenerife North to Tenerife South is about 64 minutes and 72 km without traffic. Any one-way fee shows with the price before you book.
