    Hi ,is it best to pre book a taxi and is it cheaper or can you just get into a taxi at airport we are coming in March, can you recommend a taxi for a good price .to las Americas thank you

      Hi, At the moment it seems to be cheaper to get a taxi at the airport rather than pre-booking a transfer. As long as you aren’t arriving at an exceptionally busy time, you should have no problems getting one from the taxi rank.

    Anyone know if it possible to bring larger bags at the public busses? I’m bringing a surfboard bag(200cm, 20kg) or what’s my best option to go from airport sur to las americas?

    • administrator

      Hi, You can put surfboards, bicycles etc. in the luggage hold under the main part of the bus.

    Hi my son and 4 of his friends are looking to get a taxi on arrival from airport to Costa Adeje. Is there taxis that have capacity for 5, plus cabin luggage or will they need 2 seperate taxis and how much from airport to Adeje.

    Thank you

    • administrator

      There are larger taxis, however most taxis cannot take 5 people, so you would have to be very lucky to catch a larger one at the airport. Perhaps pre-booking a private transfer for 5 with luggage would be a good idea?

    Good morning, we arrive at Tenerife South at 11am on the 23/11. What would be the next bus to take us to Playa de Las Americas please?

  11. Øystein Ruud

    Is it correct that the shuttlespaintransfer doesn’t start travelling before 16.th of December from Tenerife south airport?
    And is it correct that the travel from airport to las Americas is 1:30h with Canaryshuttles?

    • administrator

      Hi, No that is not correct – shuttles are running now.
      The duration of the transfer depends on where your hotel is, and how far your hotel is from the airport. But 90mins sounds like a very long time, and I doubt if it would take that long even if your hotel was the last in route.

  12. Mrs Nora Hardisty

  17. Alan Ward

    Hi we are a group of 6 adults coming in September this year can you give us a rough price for a taxi to Las Américas

    • administrator

      Hi, You might need to get 2 taxis if there are 6 of you. There’s a chance you could get lucky and find a large people-carrier style taxi, but 2 taxis is more probable. It will cost about €30 per taxi.

  18. Elisia James

    Hi, how much from taxi rank to Playa De Las Americas. Searched online quote and best return is 68EUROS. Would it be cheaper to just go rank, as all holidays in past in Majorca/Greece etc, been least 20ish% more at taxi rank!?

    • administrator

      Hi, A taxi from the airport should be quite a bit cheaper than that, however sometimes there can be long queues.
