KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Playa de las Américas
Staying at Playa de las Americas gives you a fantastic base to explore the island of Tenerife, and a hire car will give you the flexibility to make the most out of your time here. When you’re not out on the beach enjoying the sun, you can head to the Parque Natural Corona Forestal national park for a hike and some fresh mountain air. Alternatively, a 1h drive will take you to the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where you can do some city sightseeing.
The Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport (TFS) is the closest airport and the ideal location for picking up your car hire in Playa de las Americas. The airport has a single terminal and you will find all car hire desks located inside the terminal building in the arrivals area. In addition to some local car hire companies, you will also find some international ones such as Sixt, Hertz and Enterprise.
If you are driving your Playa de las Americas car hire by the beach and in other busy areas, you will need to be careful of pedestrians who might be jaywalking or cyclists who could be out on a ride along the coast. Keep in mind that locals don’t use indicators all the time and could potentially turn or break without a warning, and as such it is best to keep a safe distance from the car ahead of you.
Throughout the year, traffic in Playa de las Americas increases during rush hour in the afternoons between around 16:00 and 19:00. However, in the summer months, the amount of cars on the road increases overall and you will find a lot more traffic even throughout the day.
When driving a cheap car hire in Playa de las Americas, there are a few things to keep in mind. There are several roundabouts in Playa de las Americas, so make sure to familiarise yourself with how they work before getting behind the wheel. Some of the streets in Playa de las Americas can be quite narrow, so you need to be prepared to navigate tight spaces. In addition, the speed limit signs in Playa de las Americas may be different from what you are used to so pay attention and drive within the posted limit.
The rental age requirement to get a cheap car hire in Playa de las Americas is 21 years of age, but some rental car agencies have stricter age restrictions and charge drivers who are under 25 higher fees. Additionally, some rental car agencies will impose age limits on certain car categories, such as luxury or high-performance cars. It's important to confirm with the rental company about their age policy beforehand to avoid any surprises or extra fees.
It is crucial to remember that drunk driving is taken very seriously in Playa de las Americas and the consequences of violating the law can be severe.

FAQs about car hire in Playa de las Américas
What type of car is recommended for driving in Playa de las Américas?
When choosing a hire car in Playa de las Americas, take into consideration the time of the year you are visiting. If you are there in summer, then the best choice would be a compact car, as it would help you move around better in traffic and would be easier to park. Air conditioning will make driving more pleasant in these months, as summer days tend to be hot and humid. If you are there in the quieter months and especially if you are heading towards the mountains, you will love having a slightly larger car which allows comfort for longer car trips.

When driving within the built up areas of Playa de las Americas, you will have to adhere to a speed limit of 50km/h (about 35mph).

Where are the best places to park in Playa de las Américas?

Finding street parking in summer can be a challenge due to the increased amount of activity and cars on the road, so one alternative option is to use the car park of one of the shopping centres in town, such as Safari or Oasis, both of which are located along Avenida de las Americas and a 5-minute walk from the beach.
