EUROPCAR Car Rental at Tenerife Reina Sofia Airport

Tenerife South Airport is the largest airport on the island, with over eleven million passengers per year. Facilities at the airport include a selection of car hire companies, such as Europcar. Europcar is located in the arrivals hall of the airport, and offers all their customers competitive rental rates.

Europcar, at Tenerife South Airport, is open between the hours of 07:00 and 23:59, but may also remain open later, or open earlier, with extra charges to accommodate the arrival or departure of customers on flights at awkward hours. However, Europcar does promise to wait for you should your flight be unexpectedly delayed for whichever reason, provided that you have given the details of your flight number at the time of reservation. Europcar also promises to deliver only vehicles of the latest models to their customers, and to provide 24 hour emergency assistance with all rentals. At many of Europcar's airport rental locations, they also provide 24 hour car hire services. Europcar is know as the world's leading leisure car rental company, and consists of one of the largest networks of car rental offices around the world.

All car hire companies at South Tenerife Airport have certain terms and conditions that will need to be followed. Although generally the same, they can vary from company to company, and between the different rental locations. At Europcar the primary renter is required to be at least 21 years of age, and to have a valid drivers license. Most local licenses issued in the European Union are accepted at Tenerife South Airport, but an International Driving Permit may be required if the local license is printed in a non-Roman alphabet. Foreign drivers should also be aware that Spanish law requires an IDP document to be carried along with the national driving license at all times. Europcar customers must have been driving with a license for at least a year prior to their rental date, and should have a major credit card in their name in order to pay for the car hire period. Credit cards accepted by the majority of car hire companies are American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard, Mastercard and Visa, and some companies offer their own charge cards.

Various optional items can be hired from Europcar, such as baby seats, booster seats for older children and satellite navigation systems. Customers may also be able to hire luggage racks, and request the assistance of hand controls for disabled drivers. Hand controls, at Tenerife South Airport, should always be hired in advance, and may be used free of charge. It is however always recommended to hire any item of equipment needed for your trip in Spain in advance. From Europcar, vehicles can also be booked earlier than your arrival at the airport, from Europcar's website at www.europcar.com. Online is the most convenient way to arrange your transport, and cars may even come with slightly lower rental rates if they are reserved a few weeks in advance.

Customers who do not plan on returning to Tenerife South Airport can request the services of a one way hire, and return the vehicle to another Europcar rental location. This may be on the island of Tenerife, in another city or at the other airport of the island, or even to a location on mainland Spain, or on one of the other Canary Islands. However, customers planning to move their vehicle off the island of Tenerife should confirm if Europcar permits this, and if additional insurance will need to be purchased. In general, optional car insurance may include collision damage waiver and theft protection, while third party liability insurance is usually included in the rental quote.

At Tenerife South Airport, Europcar offers a range of quality vehicles. Smaller cars for hire may be similar to the Renault Twingo, Fiat Panda 1.2 and Seat Ibiza 1.6, while slightly larger cars are found in the Economy category, such as the VW Polo, Nissan Micra 1.2 , Ford Fusion 1.8 and Opel Corsa 1.2. Smaller cars generally come with cheaper rental prices, and are fuel efficient as well. They are ideal for city driving in Tenerife, or for longer day trips to nearby locations on the island. However, these smaller vehicles don’t offer much room for luggage, and are therefore often chosen by single drivers or couples, while families tend to search for a larger vehicle with more interior space.

The Intermediate category offers more suitable family vehicles that seat up to five passengers, and store an average number of luggage articles. The Citroen C4 Picasso is a favourite option, as well as the Renault Scenic and Peugeot 5008 1.6. In this category, vehicles seating seven can also be hired, such as the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, with an automatic transmission, and the Renault Grand Scenic. Customers at Europcar could even go one step larger with the RN Trafic Combi Long in the Standard category, seating up to nine people, and the Mercedes Viano in the Fullsize category, with space for eight passengers.
