Based on the analysis of seasonal changes in car rental prices in Tenerife, the periods with the lowest and highest rates are clearly visible. Our experience shows that the most affordable rental prices are observed in spring, while the highest prices are formed during the winter tourist peak.

The lowest average car rental price was recorded in May and amounted to around €13 per day. Compared to December, when the average price reached €35, the difference is approximately 169 %. This means that renting a car in December is almost 2.7 times more expensive than in May. April also belongs to the most budget friendly months, with an average price of about €17, which is only 31 % higher than the minimum May level.

December turned out to be the most expensive month of the year. Compared to November, when the average price was €29, the increase reached about 21 %. When compared with January, where the average price stood at €23, the difference is approximately 52 %. Our result clearly confirms that the winter period, especially during the Christmas and New Year holidays, creates the highest pricing pressure in the car rental market.

The summer season shows moderate price growth. In July, the average price was €17, while in August it increased to €22, which corresponds to a rise of around 29 %. In September, prices drop again to €18, indicating the gradual end of the peak tourist season.
