Our Team

Five people across three islands who make sure your car is ready, clean and waiting where it should be.

The People Behind 4Drive

4Drive has stayed deliberately small. Everyone you deal with - from the booking confirmation to the handover at arrivals - is on this page. We live on the islands we work on, we drive the same roads our guests drive, and when something goes wrong at 9 pm on a Sunday, one of these five phones rings.

Alvaro Medina, Founder and Managing Director

Alvaro Medina

Founder & Managing Director

Tenerife South

International rental desks at TFS, 2011-2017

Alvaro spent six years behind the counters of big international brands at Tenerife South airport - and watched too many guests turned away for not having a credit card. In 2018 he started 4Drive around one idea: a debit card or cash should be enough. He still sets every price himself.

Carmen Delgado, Fleet and Operations Manager

Carmen Delgado

Fleet & Operations Manager

San Isidro, Tenerife

Vehicle servicing and logistics, with 4Drive since 2019

Carmen runs the depot: service schedules, inspections between rentals, tyre and brake checks before every handover. If a car does not meet her standard, it does not go out - simple as that. She is the reason our vehicles feel newer than their plates suggest.

Jorge Suarez, Airport Team Lead

Jorge Suarez

Airport Team Lead

Tenerife South & North airports

With 4Drive since 2020

Jorge is usually the first 4Drive face you see: he meets arrivals at TFS and TFN, walks you to the car and gets the paperwork done in about ten minutes. He tracks every inbound flight, so a delayed landing never means a cancelled pickup.

Lucia Betancor, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote Coordinator

Lucia Betancor

Coordinator, Gran Canaria & Lanzarote

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Born and raised in Las Palmas, with 4Drive since 2021

Lucia looks after everything east of Tenerife: deliveries at LPA and ACE, the Gran Canaria and Lanzarote fleet, and our partner operations on La Palma. Guests landing on three different islands get the same handover because Lucia holds everyone to the same checklist.

Femke van Dijk, Guest Support Lead

Femke van Dijk

Guest Support Lead

Costa Adeje, Tenerife

From the Netherlands, on Tenerife since 2016

Femke answers guest questions in English, Dutch and German and edits the Dutch version of this site. Having moved from Utrecht to Costa Adeje herself, she knows exactly what northern European visitors worry about before their first drive on the islands - and how to settle it in one reply.

How We Work

Small Team, Direct Answers

No call centres and no ticket queues. The person who replies to your email is one of the five people above, and they can actually fix your problem, not just log it.

Every Car Checked by Carmen's Rules

Each vehicle is inspected between rentals against a fixed checklist - brakes, tyres, lights, cleanliness. What you collect is what the photos promised.

We Live Here

Advice on this site comes from residents, not a content farm. When we say the TF-21 to Teide needs second gear and patience, it is because we drove it last month.
