When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Spain vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Spain are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Tenerife, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
If there is a «Manual» sign, then the payment in this checkpoint is made by a road worker manually. The lanes marked with «Change» allow not only to pay the toll, but also to exchange currency. The lanes marked with «Automatico» accept payments made through an automated machine. The tool can be paid in cash or by bank transfer.
Highways have special phones with the «SOS» mark. These phones are used to call for help in case of a breakdown or an accident. As a rule, such phones are located at a distance of 2 km from each other.
Travelers, who expect to save on traveling on toll roads, can always use free highways (Leteral). Their main drawback is that they are very winding, so it will take much longer to reach the point of destination by a free road than by a toll highway. However, free roads are often located in very beautiful places.
