Standard airport taxis can carry a maximum of 4 passengers, babies and children included. Squeezing in an additional person is not an option, as the driver would risk losing their licence. So, if your family or group of friends consists of more than 4 people, or if you are travelling with oversized luggage, you will have to take more than one taxi, which considerably adds to the cost.

However, when you book an airport transfer from Tenerife Airport in advance, you can choose a vehicle of the right size to accommodate everyone who is travelling with you, as well as all the luggage you are taking. Most of the time, a 7-seater minivan, e.g. a Mercedes Viano, is sufficient, but larger vehicles are also available. Although a larger taxi will be a little more than a standard taxi, it is still far cheaper than the cost of two taxi fares.

During busy periods, taxis can be in high demand at Tenerife South Airport, so you may need to wait a while for one to become available.

With a pre-booked transfer, you can beat the queues! Your driver will be waiting for you when you arrive and take you straight to your vehicle - no queueing or waiting around. And since you are on holiday, you won't want to waste your time at the airport, when you could already be at the beach, enjoying yourself!

For your return journey, a pre-booked transfer gives you added peace of mind. You will be able to enjoy the last night of your holiday, safe in the knowledge that your transfer is already arranged. You will be collected directly from your accommodation and taken to the airport in good time, ready for the flight home.

If you need a car seat for your child or baby, taking a taxi at the Tenerife Airport taxi rank is a bit of a gamble, as most taxis do not carry these with them. With a pre-arranged transfer, you can request a child seat when booking. That way, you can be sure that your little ones will travel safely on your journey from the airport to your holiday accommodation.

If you want to get from Tenerife airport to your holiday accommodation as quickly as possible, a private transfer is the way to go. While a shuttle bus transfer might be slightly cheaper, you will be sharing the vehicle with other holidaymakers. These need to be dropped off in various different locations along the route, which can considerably increase the time it takes to get to your destination. A private transfer vehicle is reserved exclusively for you and your travel party. You will be taken from the airport straight to your accommodation, without any detours - a perfect door-to-door service!
