KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Playa de las Américas
Staying at Playa de las Americas gives you a fantastic base to explore the island of Tenerife, and a hire car will give you the flexibility to make the most out of your time here. When you’re not out on the beach enjoying the sun, you can head to the Parque Natural Corona Forestal national park for a hike and some fresh mountain air. Alternatively, a 1h drive will take you to the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where you can do some city sightseeing.
The Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport (TFS) is the closest airport and the ideal location for picking up your car hire in Playa de las Americas. The airport has a single terminal and you will find all car hire desks located inside the terminal building in the arrivals area. In addition to some local car hire companies, you will also find some international ones such as Sixt, Hertz and Enterprise.
If you are driving your Playa de las Americas car hire by the beach and in other busy areas, you will need to be careful of pedestrians who might be jaywalking or cyclists who could be out on a ride along the coast.

FAQs about renting a car in Playa de las Américas
What type of car is recommended for driving in Playa de las Américas?
When choosing a hire car in Playa de las Americas, take into consideration the time of the year you are visiting. If you are there in summer, then the best choice would be a compact car, as it would help you move around better in traffic and would be easier to park. Air conditioning will make driving more pleasant in these months, as summer days tend to be hot and humid. If you are there in the quieter months and especially if you are heading towards the mountains, you will love having a slightly larger car which allows comfort for longer car trips.
What’s the speed limit in Playa de las Américas?
When driving within the built up areas of Playa de las Americas, you will have to adhere to a speed limit of 50km/h (about 35mph). When you head outside on regional roads, the speed limit goes up to 90km/h (about 55mph), while the two motorways on the island have 120km/h (about 75mph) as a speed limit.
Where are the best places to park in Playa de las Américas?
Parking is available all over Playa de las Americas, and if you plan on using street parking, you should remember that spaces marked in yellow are reserved for residents and should not be used by visitors. On the other hand, spaces marked in white are free to use, while those marked in blue can be used for a fee payable at the ticket machine. Finding street parking in summer can be a challenge due to the increased amount of activity and cars on the road, so one alternative option is to use the car park of one of the shopping centres in town, such as Safari or Oasis, both of which are located along Avenida de las Americas and a 5-minute walk from the beach.
