At the airport, the rented cars are also parked nearby, within easy walking distance of the terminal building. Hiring a car from Tenerife South Airport is therefore very easy and convenient.

Record is just one of a number of rental car companies at South Tenerife Airport.

Record Rent A Car is known as one of the largest and most experienced car rental companies in Spain, with over thirty years of service under their belts. The rates offered by this car hire company are very competitive, and although they strive to keep their costs to a minimum, their service is not compromised in any way. Quotes from Record include free airport service, full comprehensive insurance for primary drivers and additional drivers and possible unlimited mileage for certain vehicle categories. Booking online often allows customers to take advantage of may discounts and special offers available at the time, and better rental rates are sometimes offered for earlier reservations.

The car rental company of Record owns a fleet of over 30,000 vehicles, all distributed between their rental branches in Spain. Other airport locations of Record include Palma de Mallorca, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Malaga, Barcelona and Alicante. Vehicles for hire at this car rental company are also only of the latest models, in very good mechanical order. Cars from Record are reliable, and will get you safely from one destination to the next. However, always ensure that you know which type of fuel to use for your vehicle, and that you choose a car that is most suited for your needs. A car too small can be rather uncomfortable, and a manually driven vehicle when you only know how to operate an automatic will make driving in Tenerife unnecessarily difficult.

Record Rent A Car's fleet includes vehicles of smaller models, such as the Fiat Panda, Hyundai Getz or Fiat Punto. These vehicles seat between three and four people, and are the ideal choice for low budget renters, single drivers or couples. Families may however find them to be lacking in space for luggage. Alternative vehicles available are the Seat Ibiza, Skoda Fabia, Volkswagen Golf and Peugeot 307, seating up to five passengers, while vehicles ideal for seven may be similar to the Volkswagen Touran. Record's largest vehicle is the Mercedes Vito, with room for nine people.

In general, smaller cars are hired with lower rental rates, while larger van-size vehicles are more expensive. Smaller cars are very fuel efficient, and may even be considered as environmentally friendly. However, it is the choice of the customer as to which type and size of vehicle will be most suitable for his/her holiday or business trip in Tenerife.

When hiring a vehicle from Tenerife South Airport, hand controls may be available as additional equipment to facilitate a driver with lower limb challenges. Hand controls should always be booked in advance, as they are only available on certain types of automatic vehicles. Other equipment hired by most car hire companies include baby seats or booster seats for older children, luggage racks and satellite navigation systems. Hand controls can be used free of charge, but other items will cost a few extra Euro per day of hire. However, they may be essential for the safety and ease of your journey in Tenerife.

The primary renter at Record, Tenerife South Airport, must be at least 21 years of age, and should have held a local drivers license for at least a year prior to the rental date. Larger or specialty type vehicles may have a higher minimum age restriction, usually of 25. Renters with a driving license printed in a non-Roman alphabet, except for those from Greece, will require an International Driving Permit. Spanish Law also requires this document for all foreign drivers in the country, and on Spain's islands. Customers from the United Kingdom should have both parts of their driving license available (the paper document and the durable card portion). Payment is usually made by credit card, as rental companies do generally not accept debit cards and cash.
