Tenerife car hire has a reputation for rip-offs — hidden insurance charges, full-to-empty fuel policies, and aggressive upselling at the airport desk. Here's how to get a genuine cheap deal.

The Tenerife Car Hire Scams to Avoid
- Full-to-empty fuel policy — you buy full tank, return empty, they keep unused fuel
- Mandatory insurance upgrade — desk staff inflate prices significantly
- Pre-existing damage discovery — photograph car completely before driving
- Child seat charges — often 3x the rental cost, bring your own if possible
Local tip: Cicar is a Canarian company with the best reputation for honest dealing. Book via VIP Cars comparison for best price.
