Fuerteventura Airport (FUE)

Fuerteventura Airport Taxi & Transfers — priced before you land

A private car and a named driver waiting at the arrivals door — not a queue, not a meter, not a shared coach doing six hotels before yours. One price for the whole vehicle, agreed when you book.

Fixed fare for the car, not per person. Night, Sunday and public‑holiday journeys cost the same as any other.
We track your flight. Land three hours late at 02:40 and your driver is still there.
Child seats, surfboards, wind gear and bikes carried free — this is Fuerteventura, we expected them.
60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown, so passport control can take as long as it takes.

Fixed

Fuerteventura Airport taxi: the short answer

  • A metered rank taxi is fine for short hops. Puerto del Rosario is around €10–14 and Caleta de Fuste €14–18 in the day. For those two, the rank often beats a pre-booked transfer.
  • Fixed pricing wins on the long runs. Corralejo is €55 and Morro Jable €95 for the whole car with us — and unlike the meter, the price does not move at 02:00, on a Sunday or on a public holiday.
  • There is no Uber, Bolt, FREE NOW or Cabify on Fuerteventura. Your real choices are the white rank taxis, a pre-booked transfer, the guagua bus, or a hire car.
  • Budget 35–75 minutes from touchdown to vehicle. Since the EU Entry/Exit System went fully live in April 2026, non-EU passports take longer at the border. We give 60 minutes of free waiting from landing.
  • No direct bus to Corralejo, El Cotillo or Lajares. Line 3 to Puerto del Rosario is excellent value at about €1.40, but everything north needs a change and takes well over an hour.
Every Destination, Both Prices

Fuerteventura Airport taxi prices to every resort

Two numbers for each place: what a metered taxi from the rank typically costs, and what we charge as a fixed price. Where the rank is cheaper, we say so. You should not have to guess this before you fly.

Prices are for the whole vehicle, one way, including the airport supplement, luggage and tolls. Metered figures are typical Tariff 1 daytime ranges and will rise on Sundays, public holidays and between 22:00 and 06:00 – our fixed prices do not. Nine to sixteen seats and wheelchair-accessible vehicles are quoted on request.

Honest Advice

When you should skip us entirely

If you are staying in Puerto del Rosario, Caleta de Fuste or Nuevo Horizonte with hand luggage only, the rank taxi outside arrivals will usually beat our fixed price by a few euros, and bus line 3 will beat both. Book us for those runs when you land after midnight, when you have a stroller and three cases, or when you simply want a name board waiting.

Where fixed pricing wins

The long southern runs

Costa Calma, Jandía and Morro Jable are 63–90 km down the FV-2. On the meter at night or on a Sunday those journeys drift towards €110–125, and a single traffic hold-up on the Eje Norte-Sur adds to the total. Our price for Morro Jable is the same at 03:00 on Christmas Day as at 11:00 on a Tuesday.

Groups

Six people, one vehicle, one fare

A rank taxi in Fuerteventura seats four plus luggage, so a family of six needs two cars and pays twice. Our eight-seat minivan to Corralejo costs less than two metered saloons to the same address, and everyone travels together with the bags in one boot.

Arrival Guide

How long it really takes to get out of Fuerteventura Airport

Nobody publishes this, so people book a 14:00 excursion off a 12:40 landing and miss it. Here is the honest sequence for a summer arrival at FUE, with the range you should plan for on a busy afternoon when three northern European flights land inside twenty minutes.

2–12 min Stage 01

Off the aircraft

Air‑bridge stands put you in the terminal in two minutes. Remote stands mean stairs and an apron bus — add ten.

3–6 min Stage 02

Walk to border control

FUE is a single compact terminal. The walk is short and level, with lifts and ramps throughout.

5–45 min Stage 03

Passport control

EU and EEA passports — use the fast lane. UK, US and other non‑EU passports now register biometrics under EES.

10–35 min Stage 04

Baggage reclaim

Thirteen carousels, but hold bags rarely appear in under ten minutes and golf or board bags come to the oversize desk.

0–40 min Stage 05

Taxi rank queue

Empty at breakfast. On a Saturday teatime in August, four flights land together and the rank runs dry.

0 min With us

Straight to the car

Your driver is already inside the arrivals hall with your name on a board. You walk out and you go.

Real-world scenarios
Quiet arrival

~35 min

A Tuesday morning Binter hop from Gran Canaria: no passport control, hand luggage, empty rank. You could be in Caleta de Fuste eating lunch 40 minutes after touchdown.

Typical summer

55–75 min

A UK charter landing mid‑afternoon with a full hold and an EES queue. Plan an hour before you are in a vehicle, and another 40–90 minutes to reach the southern resorts.

Worst case

2+ hours

Several non‑EU flights landing together during peak school holidays, with EES kiosks working through first‑time registrations. Rare, but it happens — and it is exactly when a rank queue is at its longest.

Arrivals Hall Wayfinding

Finding your driver at FUE

Fuerteventura Airport is one terminal on two floors, which makes this simple — but people still walk past their driver because they head straight for the exit doors. Here is exactly what happens.

The one thing to remember

Once you pass through the automatic doors into the arrivals hall you cannot go back airside. Look for the name board before you step outside.

Travelling with reduced mobility?

Request airport assistance at least 48 hours ahead through your airline or Aena — it covers you from the aircraft door to the kerb. Tell us at the same time and we will send a vehicle with a low step and fold‑flat wheelchair space, and the driver will meet you at the assistance point rather than the general hall.

How to find your driver in 5 steps

1

Clear passport control & collect your bags

Non‑EU passports go through the EES kiosks first. Oversize items — surfboards, golf clubs, buggies — come out at the separate oversize belt, not the carousel.

2

Walk through the green customs channel

Nothing to declare, no queue, straight through. Have a receipt handy if you are carrying anything expensive and new.

3

Scan the meeting area for your name

Your driver stands in the public arrivals hall on the ground floor holding a board with your surname and our logo. He has your flight number and has already watched you land.

4

Two‑minute walk to the vehicle

Parking is directly across the service road from the terminal. No shuttle bus, no separate pick‑up zone, no phoning a driver who is circling.

5

Delayed or diverted? Do nothing

We watch the flight, not the clock. If you divert to Las Palmas or Lanzarote, message the number on your voucher and we will rebook the pick‑up rather than charge you a no‑show.

Five Ways Off

Private transfer vs taxi rank vs bus vs shuttle vs car hire

Every option here is a reasonable choice for somebody. The trick is matching it to your group size, your arrival time and how far south you are staying. This is the comparison we would give a friend.

Comparison of ways to travel from Fuerteventura Airport: private transfer, metered taxi, public bus, shared shuttle and hire car.
Option Typical Cost, 4 People to Corralejo Time to Resort Runs at 01:00? Door to Door? Best For
Pre-booked private transfer Our Pick
€55 fixed, whole car 40 min, direct Yes Yes Families, late arrivals, southern resorts, anyone with a lot of luggage
Metered taxi from the rank €51-65 day, more at night 40 min, plus 0-40 min queue Usually Yes Short hops to Puerto del Rosario and Caleta de Fuste, solo travellers
Public bus (guagua) ≈€4.90 each, two tickets — ≈€19.60 for four 1h 15 – 1h 45, one change No No Solo budget travel, light luggage, daytime arrivals into Caleta or Puerto del Rosario
Shared shuttle coach €48-55 for four 1h – 2h, several hotel stops Rarely Hotel only Couples on a budget staying at a large, well‑known hotel
Hire car €98-160 per week plus fuel 40 min after the desk queue Desk hours vary Yes Anyone planning Cofete, Betancuria, Ajuy or the west coast — the island is big and empty

Corralejo, El Cotillo and Lajares

No direct airport bus. It is a taxi, a transfer or a hire car — the two-bus route through Puerto del Rosario takes well over an hour with a change.

Line 10 to Costa Calma & Morro Jable

Runs direct from the airport but only a handful of times a day, with fewer at weekends. Miss it and the next one may be three hours away.

Bus line 3

Leaves the terminal every half hour, takes about 17 minutes and costs around €1.40. Genuinely the best-value airport bus in the Canaries.

No Uber, no Bolt, no Free Now

Ride-hailing apps do not operate on Fuerteventura. Anyone promising you an app‑based car at FUE is either quoting a private transfer company or is not licensed. Your real choices are the official white taxis at the rank, a pre‑booked transfer, the guagua, or a hire car.

How the Meter Works

Fuerteventura taxi fares explained

Island taxi rates are set by the Cabildo and reviewed annually, so every licensed white taxi charges the same. Understanding the two tariffs is the difference between a fare that feels fair and one that feels like a scam.

1

Tariff 1

06:00 – 22:00, Monday to Saturday

  • Minimum fare around €3.05
  • Per kilometre roughly €0.55–0.70
  • Waiting time around €14.50 per hour, billed in quarter hours
  • Airport supplement roughly €2.10 added to every journey starting at FUE
2

Tariff 2

22:00 – 06:00, plus Sundays and public holidays

  • Minimum fare around €3.35
  • Per kilometre roughly €0.60–0.90
  • The same airport supplement still applies
  • Expect 10–20% more than the daytime figure on a long southern run

Three rules to remember

1

Use the official rank

The rank sits directly outside the arrivals exit with a price board for the main resorts. Never accept a ride from someone who approaches you inside the terminal — licensed drivers wait at the rank or hold a name board.

2

Check the meter is running

For long journeys many drivers will agree a flat price instead, which is legal and often sensible. Agree it out loud before the car moves, and confirm whether it covers luggage.

3

Write down the address

Rural addresses in Fuerteventura are vague. Have the hotel name, street and municipality on your phone screen. Villaverde, Lajares and the Jandía urbanisations are where people most often end up in the wrong place.

Keep the receipt.

Every licensed taxi must issue one on request, showing the licence number. If something goes wrong, that number is what the municipal taxi office needs. Photograph the licence plate before you load the bags if you are travelling alone at night — it costs nothing and it is what locals do.

Cost Check

Is Fuerteventura Airport an expensive airport?

Short answer: no, and less so than most Mediterranean holiday airports. There is no arrival tax, no compulsory transfer fee, and taxi rates are regulated rather than negotiated. Where FUE will empty your wallet is airside food, and that is a solvable problem.

What things cost inside Fuerteventura Airport compared with the same item in resort.
What you might pay for Typical airport price Same thing in the resort Verdict
Coffee and a pastry €5.50 – €8 €2.50 – €4 Roughly double
Sandwich, crisps and a drink €11 – €15 €6 – €9 Marked up
Bottled water, 500 ml €2.50 – €3.50 €0.40 in a supermarket Refill instead
Taxi to Puerto del Rosario €10 – €14 on the meter Same regulated tariff island‑wide Fair
Arrival or departure tax Nothing – it's in your ticket Nothing to pay
Car hire, small hatchback From roughly €13–25 a day Similar in town Cheap by EU standards
Duty free spirits and tobacco Genuinely low Higher in resort shops Worth it
Short-stay parking, P1 Hourly, rises steeply after a few hours Free on the street in Puerto del Rosario Drop-off only

The Canary Islands tax quirk that saves you money

The Canaries sit inside Spain and the EU but outside the EU's VAT and excise territory. That is why duty free at FUE is a real duty free rather than a rebranded shop, and why alcohol, tobacco and perfume are noticeably cheaper here than at Málaga or Alicante. It also means you are subject to allowance limits when flying home, including to mainland Spain — check your allowance rather than assuming EU free movement applies to the goods in your bag.

How to spend almost nothing at the airport

Bring an empty bottle

Fill it after security — the terminal has water points and free Wi‑Fi throughout.

Eat in the resort before you head out

The 20‑minute run from Caleta de Fuste means you can have lunch properly and still arrive in good time.

Use the ATMs in arrivals

Rather than bureau de change desks, and always decline the machine's own currency conversion.

Buy duty free on the way home

Not on the way in, so you are not carrying it around the island.

Border Control at FUE

How long does immigration take at Fuerteventura Airport?

This changed in 2026 and most guides have not caught up. The EU's Entry/Exit System became fully operational across the Schengen area on 10 April 2026, replacing the passport stamp with a digital record and a biometric check. If you hold a British, American, Canadian or other non‑EU passport, your arrival at FUE now involves a step it did not involve two years ago.

Estimated border-control waiting times at Fuerteventura Airport by passport type, quiet versus busy arrivals.
Passport you hold Quiet arrival Busy afternoon What actually happens
Spanish, EU or EEA 3–8 min 10–20 min Dedicated lane and eGates. Domestic arrivals from Gran Canaria, Tenerife or Madrid skip border control entirely.
UK, US and other non‑EU, returning 8–20 min 30–60 min Your biometrics are already on file, so it is a face check against the existing record. Quicker each time.
Non‑EU, first Schengen entry since EES 15–30 min 45–90 min Fingerprints and a facial image are captured at a kiosk and stored for three years or until your passport expires.

Why it slowed down

Border checks take longer now

Airports across Europe reported checks taking substantially longer under EES, with queues of two to three hours at some large hubs during the rollout. FUE is a compact airport with a manageable arrival pattern, so it has fared better than the big mainland gateways — but a bad afternoon here is still an hour at the border.

EES is not ETIAS

Two different things

EES is the biometric registration that happens at the border when you arrive. ETIAS is a separate online travel authorisation you apply for before you fly. Neither is a visa, and EES requires nothing from you in advance — just extra time on arrival.

The 90/180 rule

Your days are now counted automatically

Because entries and exits are recorded digitally, the 90‑days‑in‑any‑180 limit for non‑EU visitors is tracked precisely. Long‑stay winter visitors who used to rely on inconsistent stamping should count carefully.

What this means for your transfer

It is why we include a full hour of free waiting from the moment your aircraft touches down, and why we do not start charging the second the flight lands. If you are held at the border, your driver waits. You are not being billed for a government queue.

Airport Rules

What passengers can and cannot bring through Fuerteventura Airport

Two separate questions get muddled here: what security will let through the checkpoint, and what a taxi will carry. Both matter on a surf island where half the arrivals hall is carrying board bags.

Allowed

Green Channel
  • Liquids in containers up to 100 ml

    All in one transparent resealable bag of about a litre. Aena is rolling out CT scanners to Fuerteventura, but assume the 100 ml limit still applies until staff tell you otherwise.

  • Duty free bought after security

    Any size, as long as it stays sealed in the tamper‑evident bag with the receipt visible. Connecting flights can still be a problem, so check your onward airport.

  • Baby milk, food and medication

    Over 100 ml is fine in reasonable quantities. Bring a prescription or doctor's note for anything unusual, and keep it in hand luggage.

  • Power banks and spare lithium batteries

    Hand luggage only, never in the hold. Most airlines now want them accessible and not charging during the flight.

  • Surfboards, SUPs, kites, wind gear and bikes

    Checked in as sports baggage with your airline. They arrive at the oversize belt, not the carousel. We carry them free.

Not allowed

Leave it behind
  • Liquids over 100 ml in hand luggage

    Including sun cream, aloe vera gel, aerosol deodorant and dry shampoo. Pressurised containers count as liquids regardless of what is inside.

  • Sand, shells, stones and volcanic rock

    Taking material from the Corralejo dunes and other protected natural areas is prohibited and carries a fine. This one catches out well‑meaning families every summer.

  • Sharp items in the cabin

    Scissors with blades over six centimetres, corkscrews, multi‑tools and razor blades. Put them in the hold.

  • More than one lighter, and no non‑safety matches

    One lighter on your person is generally tolerated; a bag of them is not.

  • Fireworks, flares, camping gas and fuel

    Absolute no, in either cabin or hold, however small.

Well-behaved dogs and assistance animals

Assistance dogs travel free everywhere. Pets need a carrier and advance notice for a taxi — tell us at booking and we will send a suitable vehicle.

Non‑travellers meeting you – The arrivals hall, cafés and car parks are public. Anyone can wait for you landside; only ticketed passengers pass security.
Food from the resort, sealed – Majorero cheese, gofio, mojo sauce and wine are all fine in checked bags. Soft cheese and sauces count as liquids in hand luggage.

Open alcohol or food in the vehicle

Our only real vehicle rule. Sealed shopping is fine; an open bottle from the duty free is not.

Smoking anywhere in the car – Including vapes. Spanish law, not our preference — drivers can refuse to continue the journey.

Luggage allowance – what fits in the car

A standard saloon takes four passengers with one large case and one cabin bag each. Beyond that, tell us at booking — a fifth case is not a problem in an estate or minivan, but it is a problem in a car that has already left the depot.

Children – seats are free and legally required

Spanish law requires an appropriate restraint for children under 135 cm, and under‑12s travel in the rear. Baby seats, toddler seats and boosters are supplied at no charge — just tell us the ages when you book so the right ones are fitted.

Sports gear – boards and bikes, no surcharge

Two windsurf boards, a kite quiver and a boxed bike will not fit in a saloon boot, so we send the right vehicle instead of charging you an excess. Tell us the number of items and their length at booking.

Who Flies to FUE

Airlines and routes at Fuerteventura Airport

Around thirty airlines serve FUE, connecting the island with roughly seventy to a hundred destinations across fifteen countries. It is overwhelmingly a leisure airport, and its traffic is dominated by Germany and the United Kingdom, with a dense inter‑island network on top.

Late arrivals

The last flights land after midnight, especially from northern Europe. This is exactly when the taxi rank can be quiet — and when a pre‑booked driver waiting with your name is most valuable.

FUE · El Matorral

Fuerteventura Airport in plain terms

One terminal, two floors, five kilometres south‑west of Puerto del Rosario off the FV‑2. It opened in 1969, was rebuilt through the 1990s, and now handles just under seven million passengers a year (6.89 million in 2025) without ever feeling like a big airport.

Layout

One terminal

Check‑in and arrivals on the ground floor, departures and boarding above. Around 65 check‑in desks, 24 gates and 13 baggage carousels.

Capacity

3,000 / hour

At peak season the terminal handles about three thousand passengers per hour. Walking distances stay short, which is why it clears faster than its size suggests.

Driving to the airport

Leave the FV‑2 at the airport exit and follow signs for the terminal, then P1. The drop‑off zone directly outside departures is for a genuine one to two minute stop — leave a vehicle unattended and it can be towed. If you are collecting someone, use the car park rather than circling.

Vehicles & Services

The right vehicle, not the cheapest one available

Every quote is for a specific vehicle class with a real luggage capacity. We would rather send an estate to a family of four with a buggy than squeeze them into a saloon and hope.

Saloon or estate

1–4 seats

Air‑conditioned Škoda, Seat or similar. Four passengers, four large cases and four cabin bags. The default for couples and small families.

Minivan

5–8 seats

Mercedes Vito, VW Caravelle or equivalent. Eight passengers with luggage, or six with sports gear. One fare for the whole group.

Minibus

9–16 seats

For wedding parties, surf camps, dive groups and multi‑family holidays. Quoted on request with a trailer if the boards need one.

Wheelchair vehicle

Accessible

Ramp‑access vehicles with securing points, seating a wheelchair user plus three. Please book at least 48 hours ahead so we can allocate one.

Additional services

Ferry port connections

Corralejo harbour for the Lanzarote crossing to Playa Blanca, and Morro Jable for the Gran Canaria fast ferry. We time these against the sailing, not the flight — tell us the departure and we will build in the check‑in buffer.

Cruise calls at Puerto del Rosario

Ships berth a short drive from the airport and the capital. We run shore‑excursion transfers to the dunes, Betancuria and Ajuy, and airport runs for passengers joining or leaving a ship mid‑voyage.

Hourly hire with a driver

Half or full days across the island with the same driver, which works well for Cofete, the west coast and inland villages where taxis are scarce and buses barely exist. Priced by the hour, not the kilometre.

Fuerteventura · El Matorral

Fuerteventura Airport and the island around it

FUE sits on the east coast, roughly two thirds of the way north. That geography is the whole story of your transfer: the northern resorts are 30–50 minutes away, the southern ones are up to 90, and everything runs on one road, the FV‑2.

Transfers beyond Corralejo or Caleta de Fuste are longer, but the road is straight, well‑maintained, and offers stunning views of the Atlantic.

Discover Fuerteventura

What to see once your transfer drops you off

Fuerteventura is the oldest island in the archipelago and by far the emptiest of the big four: 1,660 square kilometres, about 125,000 residents, and more goats than people. Half of what makes it special is a long way from any bus route.

North 38 km from FUE

Corralejo dunes

Spain's only protected sand‑dune reserve, a Sahara‑like stretch of shifting ochre backed by the volcanic cone of Montaña Roja and fronted by water the colour of a swimming pool. Flag Beach on its northern edge is where most people take their first windsurfing lesson.

45 min by car Free entry
North 2 km off Corralejo

Isla de Lobos

An uninhabited volcanic islet two kilometres offshore, named for the monk seals that once hauled out here. Walking trails, the lagoon at El Puertito, and a lighthouse at the northern tip. Visitor numbers are capped, so you need a free permit booked in advance.

Working salt pans and a small salt museum just south of Caleta de Fuste, with a fossil beach and whale skeletons on the shore. Under twenty minutes from the airport, which makes it a genuinely good option on a late‑departure day.

18 min by car Small entry fee

Take the picture, leave the sand.

Removing sand, pebbles, shells or volcanic rock from Corralejo Natural Park and other protected areas is illegal and enforced with fines at the airport. Photographs travel better anyway.

Booking with Global Airport Taxi

What we do differently at FUE

Most transfer sites are booking engines reselling whatever local supplier is cheapest that week. We run our own vehicles and our own drivers on this island, which is why we can promise things a marketplace cannot.

01

One price, and it holds

The number you see is the number you pay. No night supplement, no Sunday supplement, no per‑bag charge, no fuel surcharge added at the roadside.

02

Local drivers, not a call centre

Our drivers live between Puerto del Rosario and Gran Tarajal, know the unmarked turnings around Lajares and Villaverde, and speak Spanish, English and German.

03

Flight tracking as standard

We watch your inbound flight from departure. Delays, diversions and early landings are handled without you sending a single message.

04

Free cancellation

Cancel up to 24 hours before pick‑up for a full refund, with no questions and no admin fee. Plans change: that is not a revenue opportunity.

05

Real 24‑hour cover

A human answers the phone at 04:00 in Fuerteventura, not a support inbox in another time zone that opens at nine.

06

Licensed and insured

All vehicles hold current VTC or taxi licensing with full passenger insurance. We will show you the paperwork if you ask for it.

Answers

Fuerteventura Airport taxi questions, answered properly

The questions we are asked most on the phone, written out the way we would actually answer them.

How much is a taxi from Fuerteventura Airport to Corralejo?
A metered taxi from FUE to Corralejo (38 km) costs roughly €51–€65 during the day and more at night. Our fixed‑price transfer is €55 per vehicle (up to 4 passengers) — no meter, no queue, and a driver waiting in Arrivals. For a minivan (5–8 passengers), the fixed price is €75.
Is there a taxi rank at Fuerteventura Airport?
Yes — the taxi rank is on the ground floor (Planta 0), directly outside the arrivals exit. It's a single shared rank serving the whole terminal, staffed and marshalled at peak times, and runs 24/7. Licensed Fuerteventura taxis are white with a municipal stripe or coloured roof. Never accept a ride from someone approaching you inside the terminal — licensed drivers wait at the rank or hold a name board.
Is Uber available in Fuerteventura?
No. Uber, Bolt, FREE NOW and Cabify do not operate a normal on‑demand service on Fuerteventura. Anyone promising you an app‑based car at FUE is either quoting a private transfer company or is not licensed. Your real choices are the official white taxis at the rank, a pre‑booked transfer, the guagua (bus), or a hire car.
How long does it take to get through Fuerteventura Airport after landing?
On a quiet arrival — about 35 minutes door to door. A typical summer arrival (UK charter with full hold and EES queue) is 55–75 minutes. Worst case (multiple non‑EU flights during peak school holidays) can be 2 hours plus. We include 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown, so you are not billed for government queues.
Do I need to book a transfer in advance, or can I just turn up?
You don't have to — the rank is well supplied. But during events, night arrivals, or if you're travelling with a group or children, pre‑booking is strongly recommended. You get a fixed price, a driver waiting with your name, no queue, and free cancellation up to 24 hours. For long southern runs (Costa Calma, Morro Jable), pre‑booking also locks in the day rate — the meter is much higher at night and on Sundays.
Is there a bus from Fuerteventura Airport to Corralejo?
No direct bus. Corralejo, El Cotillo and Lajares have no direct airport bus. The two‑bus route through Puerto del Rosario takes well over an hour with a change. Line 3 runs from the terminal every half hour to Puerto del Rosario (≈€1.40, 17 min), but you must change there. For Corralejo, it's a taxi, a transfer, or a hire car — the bus is not a practical option with luggage.
How much luggage can I bring in the taxi?
A standard saloon takes four passengers with one large case and one cabin bag each. Beyond that, tell us at booking — a fifth case is not a problem in an estate or minivan, but it is a problem in a car that has already left the depot. Sports gear (surfboards, bikes, wind gear) travels free, but we need to know the number of items and length so we send the right vehicle.
Are child seats provided?
Yes — free child and booster seats are available on request. Simply tell us your children's ages when booking. Spanish law requires an appropriate restraint for children under 135 cm, and under‑12s travel in the rear. Rank taxis almost never carry child seats, so pre‑booking is essential for families.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight live. If it's delayed, your driver automatically adjusts to the new arrival time — no extra charge, no rebooking. If your flight is cancelled, we'll move your transfer or offer a full refund. If you divert to Las Palmas or Lanzarote, message the number on your voucher and we will rebook the pick‑up rather than charge you a no‑show.
Can I take liquids through Fuerteventura Airport security?
Standard EU rules apply: liquids in containers up to 100 ml, all in one transparent resealable bag of about a litre. Aena is rolling out CT scanners to Fuerteventura, but assume the 100 ml limit still applies until staff tell you otherwise. Duty free bought after security is fine in any size, as long as it stays sealed in the tamper‑evident bag with the receipt visible.
How much is a taxi from Fuerteventura Airport to Morro Jable?
Morro Jable is the longest common run on the island: 85 km down the FV‑2, about 85 minutes. A metered taxi costs roughly €95–€115 in the day and materially more at night or on a Sunday. Our fixed price is €95 for a car of up to 4, or €129 for a minivan of up to 8 — at any hour, on any day. If you are catching the fast ferry to Gran Canaria, tell us the sailing time rather than the flight time and we will build in the check‑in buffer.
Do Fuerteventura taxis accept card payment?
Most licensed taxis on the island now take contactless cards, but it is not guaranteed on every vehicle, and terminals fail more often than drivers would like. Carry enough cash for the fare as a backup, especially late at night. Pre‑booked transfers with us are paid online in advance, so nothing changes hands in the car and there is no surprise at the far end.
Do you tip taxi drivers in Fuerteventura?
Tipping is not expected in the Canary Islands and no service charge is added to the meter. Rounding up to the nearest euro or two is normal and appreciated for a driver who has handled heavy cases or a board bag, but nobody will think less of you for paying the exact fare.
