Vehicle Rentals: Cars
With your sunglasses prepared for action, the windows rolled down and the freedom to stop and go as you please, renting a car is without a doubt the most fun way to explore Tenerife. Finding vehicle rental companies in Tenerife isn't hard at all, as practically every village, town and city boasts a combination of both major chains and local businesses that will get you behind the wheel and out on the road faster than you can say "Mount Teide."
Keep in mind that if you don't plan on starting and ending your travels in the same city, it may be better to veer away from local companies and instead rent a vehicle from a company with agencies in various parts of the island. While local companies tend to cost less, by using a larger company you don't have to necessarily return the car to the same office you rented it from. You can get a vehicle rental in Tenerife in person in a rental company, via their website if they have one, or generally through your hotel.

Vehicle Rentals: Bikes
Nothing quite says "island vacation" like leisurely pedaling along the shore clad in sandals and a bathing suit. Then again, if you want to kick things up a few notches, Tenerife's often rugged terrain and its endless trails through the wilderness make the island - particularly the central and northern zones - ideal for mountain bikers. There are almost as many bike rental companies as grains of sand in Tenerife, but here are a few located in various parts of the island.
