The terminal is home to many car rental companies and bus routes from major cities.
Car rental
Car rental stands are located directly in the arrivals hall. The vast majority of rental companies operating in Tenerife are based at the airport. It is always best to book a car in advance for the lowest possible price.
Weekly rental prices range from around 150 eur in the winter season for a small car to 350 eur in the summer season.
Avoid unserious car rental companies such as Goldcar, OK Mobility or TopCar.
Buses
Tenerife has an extensive and quality bus network, which you can also use to get to the airport. You'll find the bus stop on the right about 20 metres from the airport exit.

Tickets and where to buy them
In addition to the individual tickets listed above, which are useful if you won't be travelling by bus very often, you can also buy more convenient tourist tickets. You always have to add 2 eur to the price for a card that can be used to top up other tickets:
- 24-hour ticket - 10 eur
- 7-day ticket - 50 eur
If you are travelling in a large group of people for shorter distances, a ticket with the name Ten+Wallet. You can top up your ticket with a credit of 10 to 99 eur at your discretion. This is then deducted according to the distance travelled, and the fare is around 20% cheaper than if you bought individual tickets.
Even for multiple people, a single card is enough.
Tickets can only be purchased from the driver at the airport, where you can pay with cash or card.
