ALAMO Car Rental at Tenerife Reina Sofia Airport

The easiest way to get around this Canary Island is by rented car, from one of the car hire companies at Tenerife South Airport such as Alamo Rent A Car. Alamo has been a very successful provider of rented vehicles for many years, and is a trusted source of car hire in many locations around the world.

Tenerife is the largest of the famous Canary Islands, which are well known for their beautiful beaches and stunning natural landmarks, and Tenerife South is one of the major airports of these islands. The airport mainly handles traffic from international destinations, while its counterpart, Tenerife North Airport, handles the majority of passengers from other Spanish airports. There is a single terminal building at Tenerife South, and the car hire companies can be found in the arrivals hall. At this rental location, Alamo is open from 08:00 to 23:00, or passengers can reserve their vehicle in advance using the form above. This is highly recommended during the busier summer months of the airport.

It is also recommended to hire additional items of equipment as early as possible, and to always specify whether your rental will be a one way hire. A one way hire allows the customer to collect their Tenerife South Airport car rental, but then to return it to another Alamo rental location, perhaps at the other airport, or in the capital city of the island. Additional costs may apply for one way rentals at Tenerife Airport. Disabled passengers are welcomed at all Spanish airports by a range of facilities for their comfort when arriving or departing from the airport, and from Alamo, customers with a lower limb deficiency may be able to request the use of hand controls. Hand controls at Tenerife South Airport should be booked in advance, at least 48 hours prior to your arrival.

When arriving at Alamo's rental counters, the primary renter and all additional drivers listed on the rental contract will need to show a valid drivers license, and meet the minimum age requirement set for the category of vehicle hired. Age requirements vary between 21 and 25, depending on the type of vehicle. National licenses issued within the European Union are usually accepted, except for those printed in a non-Roman alphabet, (besides a license from Greece, which may be acceptable). Drivers will then require an International Driving Permit, which should accompany the local license. All foreign drivers in Spain are required by Spanish Law to have an IDP. Certain car hire companies may offer assistance in obtaining such a document. The individual must also have held the national drivers license for a minimum period of one year prior to the rental date.

The primary renter will need a major credit card for payment of the car hire period, and Alamo accepts the cards of American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard, Mastercard and Visa. Before leaving Tenerife South Airport, ensure that you are comfortable with the workings of your vehicle, that you have the emergency numbers on hand in the case of an accident or other incident, and that you know which type of fuel to use for your rented car. It is also important to check that all the existing damages on the vehicle have been properly noted. The road network on the island of Tenerife is quite simple, with the main TF-1 motorway leading directly from the airport to the northern areas of the island.

Alamo's vehicles at Tenerife South Airport are only of the latest models, and are therefore reliable with low mileage. They are arranged into various car categories, such as Mini, Economy, Compact, Midsize Wagon, Standard, Premium and Van. Customers who simply require a vehicle for driving in the nearby vicinity of the airport, and who do not have too much luggage to carry, can hire a cheaper car from the Mini or Economy categories. These may include the Fiat Seicento 1.1 or the Citroen C2 1.1. Although smaller cars, they can seat up to four people, and have features such as power steering and air bags. Compact vehicles are also very popular for their lower rental rates and fuel efficiency, and may be similar to the Citroen Berlingo 1.8 and Citroen C4 1.6 (with an automatic transmission).

Larger sedan models are found in the Midsize and Standard categories, such as the Citroen C5 1.6 and 2.0, while estate vehicles are ideal for families with a couple of luggage pieces. Premium vehicles are regarded as more elegant than the usual rented car, and Vans are often chosen by groups of travelers. The largest vehicle available from Alamo is the Opel Vivaro 1.6, seating up to nine passengers. SUV's may also be quite popular, like the Jeep 4x4 1.8.
