Other useful tips to keep in mind
Costa Adeje is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer months. We recommend that you book your accommodation as early as possible to take advantage of the best rates. Don’t wait for prices to rise! We prefer the Booking platform, as calendars are updated in real time. During your stay, we suggest you rent a car to explore the rest of the island in total freedom.
OUR TIPS TO RENT A CAR IN Tenerife
- Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
- If you’re planning to explore the mountains, don ‘t take the smallest cars. A more powerful engine will be more comfortable.
- But don’t take too big a car either, as some roads are narrow.
- There’s a lot of demand and it’s an island, so book early.
