Car Rental in Tenerife

Family car rental in Tenerife

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Spain traditionally include the following vehicles: VW Passat, Renault Scenic, Peugeot 508, Ford Mondeo, Hyundai Sonata, Mercedes A Class and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Tenerife borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Tenerife might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Tenerife!

Any petrol station (except self-service stations) is a place where drivers can not only fill the tank, but also pump up the wheels and take technical water. If there is no hose in a car, then simply ask it from petrol station workers.
A large part of petrol stations do not work at night, but there are always petrol stations that work round the clock near major highways. It is also worth noting that at night most petrol stations accept payments by credit cards through a special machine only.
In August, roads of the country that connect Madrid to Malaga, Granada, Alicante, Zaragoza, Valencia, Burgos and Barcelona are always loaded. A large number of people tries to get to popular summer resorts during the hot season, so there are always large traffic jams in both directions.

Traveling in Tenerife with family car
Another important feature of the national cuisine of Tenerife is an abundance of unique dishes of seafood. Fish is usually boiled and served with spicy sauces, so local dishes are not only delicious, but also extremely wholesome. The most common complement to seafood is mojo sauce; it is noteworthy that all chefs cook it following the unique author's recipe.
Gourmets have to order vieja fish in one of the local restaurants; those in the know claim that the taste of it is truly unique. Those who prefer the classic treats will like tuna and sama fish in the range of typical local dishes. Fans of meat treats would like carne de fiesta, which literally translates as ‘the festive meat.’ It is cooked of pork, which is kept in a special marinade before cooking. Like many years ago, the dish is served exclusively in the national festive cutlery.

Rather unusual and interesting treat is salmorejo; this dish is prepared of rabbit complemented with a generous side dish of boiled potatoes. It’s worth to tell a few words about this vegetable. It it is grown on local plantations in large quantities; culinary connoisseurs say that the local potato has a superb taste, so simple and affordable dishes of it are very popular among tourists.
