Rent a Car at the Tenerife South Airport

In December again really soak up the sun? That works great with your own rental car, which you can pick up at Tenerife South Airport. Instead of sitting at home in the cold in winter, you can enjoy the sun of Tenerife with a rental car. Take the rental car to the mountains or go for long walks on the beach. With your own rental car, the winter vacation in Tenerife is twice as much fun.

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

Tenerife and the Canary Islands in general are a great destination. Is a vacation 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 rental at Tenerife Airport. Compare with Driveboo the offers for rental cars at Tenerife Airport to get the best deal.

Driveboo tip:

Celebrate with the locals in February! Book a vacation in February and join the Tenerife Carnival in Puerto de la Cruz, where the whole island celebrates exuberantly.

Spending your winter on Tenerife and seeking the sun

La Laguna

A trip to Tenerife in winter is a real insider tip. While on the European mainland cold temperatures prevail, you can escape the cold on a vacation to the Canary Islands. Tenerife has mild temperatures all year round. The summers are not too hot and the winters are very pleasant with an average temperature of 20 degrees. Especially the south of the island is very attractive in winter, as it is a bit milder than the north and also has fewer rainy days. Book a rental car and explore Tenerife according to your own ideas. Winter is ideal to do the following:

  • Hike through the Masca Gorge
  • Visit of the old island capital La Laguna
  • Punta del Hidalgo with view to the Anaga mountains
