Tips for Driving in Tenerife with Your Automatic Car
Driving in Tenerife is an adventure in itself! Here are some practical tips to keep you safe and confident on the road:
- 👉 Drive on the Right: In Tenerife (as in all of Spain), you must drive on the right-hand side of the road. If you’re visiting from the UK, take extra care when pulling out of junctions or entering roundabouts until you adjust. Remember to overtake on the left and keep right except when passing.
- 🏞️ Be Prepared for Mountain Roads: Many of Tenerife’s most beautiful spots – like the Anaga forest or the village of Masca – are reached via narrow, winding mountain roads. Take it slow and use pull-outs to let faster drivers pass if needed. Avoid peak hours on popular scenic drives; for example, the TF-436 route to Masca gets very busy around 10am–4pm, so driving it early morning or late afternoon is much more enjoyable. Your automatic will handle steep climbs and descents, but on very long downhills consider using your car’s low-gear mode to aid braking.
- ⛽ Fuel Up and Park Smart: Always start your journey with plenty of fuel, especially when heading to remote areas. Gas stations can be sparse in rural zones (e.g. the Anaga Peninsula), so fill up in advance. When parking in towns, look for white-lined spaces (free parking); blue lines indicate paid or time-limited zones, and yellow lines mean no parking at all – outside the resort areas, finding a spot is usually easier and free of charge.
- 🚗 Know the Local Rules & Conditions: Speed limits in Tenerife are 120 km/h on motorways, 90 km/h on open roads, and 50 km/h in towns unless posted otherwise. These limits are enforced, with speed cameras common near tourist areas, so stick to the limits. Good news: there are no toll roads on the island, so you won’t need to worry about carrying cash or cards for tolls.
- 😊 Stay Relaxed and Enjoy the Ride: Tenerife’s drivers are generally courteous. If you’re driving a bit slower to admire the view or handle the curves, locals will usually understand – many will patiently wait behind you or pass when it’s safe. So take your time and enjoy the journey. With an automatic car hire, you’ve got one less thing to think about while exploring.
