Compare and book a hired car at Tenerife Airport (TFS)

Tenerife and the Canary Islands in general are a great destination. Is a holiday in Tenerife worthwhile in winter? Tenerife, thanks to its geographical location, maintains temperatures of up to 22 degrees from December to February. The Canary Island is therefore ideally suited as a winter destination. A special feature, despite these warm temperatures, is the ski resort of Pico del Teide. So from December to February, the warm temperatures can be enjoyed on the coast and you can go skiing anyway. This contrast makes Tenerife the absolute winter insider tip. To get the most out of your Tenerife trip, we recommend booking a cheap car hire at Tenerife Airport. Compare with Driveboo the offers for rental cars at Tenerife Airport to get the best deal.

Enjoying a road trip during fall on Tenerife

Teneriffa im Herbst

In autumn Tenerife is the ideal holiday destination for a road trip with a hired car. From the European mainland you can reach the Canary Island in just a few hours. The island has a contemplative size, which is why you can still see and discover a lot even with a short stay with your own hired car. From one of the northernmost points of the island, Taganana, to one of the southernmost places, Las Galletas, you need less than two hours by hired car. In autumn, thanks to the pleasant temperatures, it is also more fun to see the sights of the island. With an average of 19 degrees in October, hiking and excursions into the island's nearby nature are also highly recommended. If you are very adventurous, you can ride a mountain bike through the Anaga Mountains or even climb Pico del Teide on foot.
