we rented the car from Cicar, I think now the best company there. They have good, new cars and good prices too. Here are their website and e-mail address:
www.cicar.com
info@cicar.com
- we made the reservation via internet and although we wanted to go to 2 islands (Gran Canaria and Tenerife), we made a single reservation for both of them
- they do not look at the car when you return it (as we returned it early in the morning, we were told where to leave it and to squeeze the key through their office window)
- you receive the car with the tank almost empty (but gas stations are not a problem) and you must give the car back with aprox. the same qty of fuel
- we were asked for 50 euro as a warranty deposit for the 1st car but we received the money into the bank account after returning the car (within 2 days); for the 2nd we didn't pay as we were already considered their customer.
- you'll be given a good map of the island
what else?
- if you want to get an ideea of how the roads are (only an idea), look on Google Earth. You can also find there lots of pics, so you'll know better what's interesting to see
- driving experience... probably you read my story, so take care, some of the roads are extremly winding, narrow and with abrupt slopes.
- I reccommend you to pay an extra insurance (smth. between 40-50 euros, unfortunately I can't remember now the exact figure) which covers damages you or others may do to your car
- if interested, you can read my blog Dreamy Holiday in Canarian Islands - Tenerife, where I mentioned few interesting places...
if you need more info and I can help, just ask!
if not, wish you a pleasant journey and please, pics. and your comments when you come back
Hi! I

Thanks a lot.
