Exploring Puerto de la Cruz in spring and summer by rental car

In the warmer months Tenerife can be explored comfortably with your own rental car. Especially in spring and summer, thanks to the pleasant temperatures, you can explore the numerous beaches and bays with your own rental car. Tenerife offers a pleasant climate for traveling all year round. The summers are rather hot and humid and it rains comparatively little during this time. To enjoy the beaches and also the swimming pools of the hotel resorts, we recommend a visit between the end of June and the end of September. 

These beaches should be on your list for spring and summer:

• Playa el Duque: only about 400m long, it is one of the absolute dream beaches of the island. Distance from Puerto de la Cruz: 70km (1:10h driving time)
• Playa de Las Teresitas: this beach is three times bigger than the one mentioned before and is accordingly a bit emptier. In addition, the beach here is directly embedded in unspoiled nature and is not directly in front of large hotel complexes. Distance from Puerto de la Cruz: 49 km (0:50h driving time)
• Playa de Masca: the special thing about this beach is that you can only reach it on foot or by boat. But here you can enjoy an empty beach with only a few other bathers. Distance from Puerto de la Cruz: 47km (1:05h driving + walking)
• Playa de las Américas: this beach is located in the south of the island, in the district of Adeje. Here, too, it fills up during the day with sun-loving bathers. Therefore, we recommend to go to the beach early in order to enjoy it with a little less hustle and bustle. Distance from Puerto de la Cruz: 107 km (1:15h driving time)

Which insurance to take out for the rental car?

Suitable rental car insurance

As nice as the vacation can be, unforeseen incidents should never be excluded. Especially not if you have booked a cheap rental car. Prevention is usually better than cure. Therefore, it is advisable to take out an appropriate insurance package. A comparison of the individual providers is therefore enormously worthwhile. Basically, a liability insurance is necessary to be able to rent the vehicle at all. Comprehensive insurance and theft insurance can be added. We recommend you to book the fully comprehensive insurance without excess, so that you do not incur any unforeseeable costs in case of damage.
