Once you've made your car hirebooking, we will email you a confirmation.

Our Spain car hire agreements all include a collision damage waiver. This means that, in the event of theft or damage, you won't be charged any more than your excess.

Our mission at Holiday Extras is to make things as easy as possible so you can get on with enjoying your holiday. Our total protection insurance for your Tenerife rental car will give you that extra piece of mind should the worst happen and you're involved in an accident or the hire car gets damaged .
