Playa de las Américas car hire

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.

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.

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.
