The desk is inside the terminal in the arrivals zone, reached from beside the luggage belts — no shuttle needed.
The fleet here is described as consistently newer and cleaner than the terminal average, with one traveller noting a car with under 1,000 km on the clock.
Is Sixt Tenerife South Airport rated well?
At 4.6/5 — corrected upward from an older, lower figure once shown here — Sixt has one of the better reputations at this airport. The genuine positive is a fast, friendly handover with a fresh fleet; the genuine caveat is a fairly persistent push for extra insurance even when full cover was already prepaid.
What travellers say
Handover was quick and the woman at the desk was genuinely helpful, took time to walk us through the car before we drove off. Fleet looked barely used — ours had under 1,000 km on the clock.
Counter service was fast for us, in and out in a few minutes, no queue. Car was clean and newer than expected for the price we paid. Would use them again on this trip.
Loved that they let us pay the excess with a debit card, not everyone does that here. Staff gave good tips on driving routes around the south of the island too.
Be careful at the desk, they pushed the full insurance pretty hard even after I'd already prepaid cover through the booking site. Had to say no twice before they dropped it.
Car itself was fine but we queued outside in the heat for a good half hour during a busy afternoon arrival bank. Worth building that into your connection time.
Rates seen from about €13/day for the cheapest economy car, with typical mid-range cars running €30-40/day and premium models up to around €95/day.
