Gran Canaria Airport taxi, fixed price, driver waiting when you land.
Book a Gran Canaria Airport taxi transfer at one price agreed before you fly: a driver holding your name in the LPA arrivals hall, and no meter watching on the GC-1. We cover every resort on the island, from Las Palmas in the north to Puerto de Mogán in the south-west, 24 hours a day.
Airport → Las Palmas: fixed price vs the meter
24 km, daytime exampleAirport → Las Palmas (Santa Catalina), about 24 km. Meter estimate uses the official daytime tariff: €3.85 flag-down, €1.35/km and the €2.10 airport supplement. Bus figure is the Global line 60 single to Santa Catalina. Metered fares vary with traffic, route and time of day.

Taxi prices, laid out like the GC-1
Everything on Gran Canaria hangs off one motorway. The airport sits in the middle of it: the capital is a short run north, the resort strip is a slightly longer run south. Here is what each direction costs with us, door to door, for up to four people with luggage.
Las Palmas — Santa Catalina / Canteras
Las Palmas — Vegueta / Triana
Telde
Vecindario / Santa Lucía
Bahía Feliz / Playa del Águila
San Agustín
Playa del Inglés
Maspalomas / Meloneras / Faro
Puerto Rico / Amadores
Puerto de Mogán
Agaete / Puerto de las Nieves
Teror / Arucas
What the price includes
Flight tracking, 60 minutes of free waiting after an international landing and 45 minutes after an inter-island or mainland one, all luggage, child and booster seats, the €2.10 airport supplement and the night, Sunday and holiday tariffs. There are no tolls anywhere on Gran Canaria. Nothing is added at the door. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, for up to 4 passengers. Groups of 5–8 travel in a minivan and are quoted at booking.
How a metered taxi at Gran Canaria Airport actually charges you
Canary Islands taxi rates are set by regulation and displayed inside every licensed cab. The figures below are the ones Aena publishes for Gran Canaria Airport, so if you take a rank taxi instead of pre-booking, these are the numbers running on the meter. Knowing them is the easiest way to tell a fair fare from a bad one.
Regulated taxi tariff applying at LPA
| Charge | Daytime 06:00–22:00 | Night 22:00–06:00 | Sundays & public holidays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flag-down — starts the moment the journey begins | €3.85 | €4.25 | €4.25 |
| Per kilometre | €1.35 | €1.55 | €1.55 |
| Waiting or stationary, per hour | €18.50 | ||
| Airport supplement — flat charge on any trip starting or ending on airport grounds | €2.10 | €2.10 | €2.10 |
| Christmas rate — 24 and 31 December, 5 January, from 22:00 to midnight the following day | €6.54 flag-down, €1.55 per km | ||
Work it out yourself
The formula
Flag-down + (km × rate) + €2.10 airport supplement
A 26 km daytime run to Playa del Inglés works out at roughly €3.85 + €35.10 + €2.10 = €41 before any waiting time is added. The same trip after 22:00, on a Sunday or on a public holiday is about €47.
The gap that surprises people
Night and holidays cost about a fifth more
The higher tariff applies from 22:00 to 06:00 and all day on Sundays and public holidays. Plenty of northern European flights land inside that window, which is exactly when a fixed price is worth most.
Your protection
Always ask for the receipt
Drivers must issue one on request, and it carries the licence number. It is the single piece of paper that makes a complaint to the municipality or the Cabildo actually go somewhere.
Terminal, arrivals halls and where the taxi rank is
LPA is refreshingly simple: one terminal building, everything under one roof. It handled 15,826,553 passengers in 2025 — the sixth busiest airport in Spain and by some distance the busiest in the Canaries — yet you can still walk from baggage reclaim to a car in about four minutes.
Two arrivals halls
Arrivals 1, at the northern end, handles inter-island and mainland Spanish flights. Arrivals 2 handles international flights, after passport control and customs where they apply. Baggage reclaim, ATMs, currency exchange, car hire desks and the lost baggage office are all on this level.
Taxi rank
Aena lists it as Floor 0, outdoor area: straight out of the terminal at ground level, signed "Taxi". Coming out of international arrivals, turn right and follow the pavement. One shared rank serves the whole terminal, marshalled at peak times, 24 hours a day.
Check-in desks run from 101 to 404 across four blocks, all on this floor, together with security and the boarding-gate zones. The low-numbered desks at the northern end serve Binter Canarias, Canaryfly and the inter-island traffic; the higher blocks handle Schengen, Nordic and non-Schengen carriers. Floor 2 above holds the food court and the Sala Galdós lounge. Check your desk number on the screens — the blocks are reassigned by season.
For departures, our drivers set down on the upper roadway right in front of the check-in hall — not in the car park.
Departure zones at a glance
Inter-island
Flights between the Canary Islands — Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro.
Mainland Spain
Mainland Spain and other Schengen destinations. Zones B and C are both Schengen, so which one you use depends on the airline and the season.
Schengen Europe
The bulk of EU and Nordic holiday traffic, also inside Schengen — no passport control on the way out.
Non-Schengen
UK, West Africa and other non-Schengen routes, with additional passport and security checks in both directions. This is why British arrivals reach the taxi rank later than the Germans on the same slot.
Meeting point
Your driver stands in the arrivals hall matching your flight, holding a board with your name. If your flight is diverted to the other hall, one call and they walk round.
Waiting time
60 minutes after an international landing, 45 after an inter-island or mainland one. We watch the live arrival time, not your booked one.
Accessibility
Step-free throughout. Aena's assistance service covers the terminal. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles need 48 hours' notice — tell us at booking.
Late night
LPA handles flights around the clock, though the public areas of the terminal are restricted overnight to passengers and staff. Shops and cafés close, so a 02:00 arrival means a quiet building and a short taxi queue — but also nowhere to wait comfortably if nobody is meeting you.
Gran Canaria Airport map: finding the taxi rank and your driver
LPA is one terminal on three floors. Everything you need on arrival is on Floor 0, and the walk from the baggage belts to a car is about four minutes. Here is the layout, the exact meeting point, and a map you can open on your phone.
Terminal levels at a glance
From the plane to the car, step by step
-
1
Follow Salida / Exit down to Floor 0 and collect your bags. Non-Schengen arrivals (UK, Morocco, West Africa) clear passport control first — allow 10–25 minutes at peak.
-
2
Walk into the public arrivals hall. Your driver is standing at the barrier with a board showing your name.
-
3
For the public rank instead: exit the terminal at ground level and turn right along the pavement, following the Taxi signs. One shared rank serves both arrivals halls.
-
4
Bus travellers go up one floor to departures — the Global stops are outside Floor 1, not outside arrivals.

Every way to leave Gran Canaria Airport, honestly compared
There is no train and no metro on Gran Canaria — the island has never had a passenger railway, and the long-discussed Las Palmas–Maspalomas line is still a project on paper, not a service you can board. That leaves five real options.
Airport to Playa del Inglés — as a worked example
| Option | Cost | Door-to-door time | Luggage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pre-booked private transfer
Our service
|
€42 per car | 25–30 min | Unlimited, into the boot | Families, night landings, groups splitting |
| Rank taxi on the meter | €41 day / ≈€47 night | 25–30 min + queue | Unlimited | Spontaneous travel and short hops to Telde or Vecindario |
| Global bus, line 66, 90 or 5 | €3.50 per person | 40–60 min + walk | One case, in the hold | Solo travellers on a budget, light packers |
| Hire car | from ~€20/day + fuel | 45–60 min with paperwork | Unlimited | Anyone planning to tour the island |
| Ride-hailing app | NOT AVAILABLE — Uber, Bolt, Lyft and Cabify do not operate on Gran Canaria. The Cabildo has repeatedly refused bulk VTC licence applications, so do not build your arrival plan around an app. | |||
Booked ahead, priced ahead, driver in the hall. You skip the rank entirely. The advantage grows with group size and journey length — four people to Mogán pay about €20 each against €6.80 on the bus, for a journey that is an hour quicker and stops at the door.
Licensed, regulated, and genuinely plentiful. Canarian taxis are white, with a municipal stripe or coloured roof; a driver may only pick up within their own municipality but can drop anywhere on the island. Card payment is normal, but confirm before loading bags.
Operated by Global, from stops on Floor 1 outside departures rather than outside arrivals — you walk up one floor. Cheap, clean and reliable in daylight. The catch is that it drops you at a stop, not at your hotel.
Desks are on the arrivals level, with the pick-up area a short walk away. Worth it if you want Roque Nublo, Artenara or the west coast. Not worth it for a week spent between a hotel pool and Playa del Inglés, where parking is the daily tax.
For Tenerife, most people transfer to Agaete (Puerto de las Nieves) for the fast ferry, or to Las Palmas port for conventional sailings. Both are direct taxi runs from LPA; we time the pick-up to the sailing, not the flight.
Trains
Worth saying plainly because so many people search for it: there is no train from Gran Canaria Airport, and no rail anywhere on the island. Any site quoting "train routes and prices" for LPA is describing something that does not exist.
Gran Canaria Airport bus guide: lines 1, 5, 11, 36, 60, 66, 90 and 91
The island's intercity buses are run by Global (Guaguas Global). Eight lines call at Gran Canaria Airport and the fares below are the single, pay-on-board visitor prices published by Aena. Every stop is on Floor 1, outside departures — signposted, but not obvious from arrivals, so walk up one floor and allow a few minutes to find them.
Global Bus Services Calling at Gran Canaria Airport
| Line | Route | Single fare | Journey | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | Airport ⇒ Las Palmas (San Telmo and Santa Catalina) — the fast, direct one | €2.30 San Telmo · €2.95 Santa Catalina | 20–30 min | Two an hour, 06:00–20:00; first 05:15, last departures 20:15–22:15 |

| 90 | Telde ⇒ Faro de Maspalomas via the airport — semi-direct, fewer stops | €4.05 Faro · €3.50 Playa del Inglés · €4.95 Arguineguín · €1.45 Telde | 45–55 min | Hourly; to Faro 06:30–20:30 |
| 91 | Las Palmas ⇒ Playa del Cura via the airport, Arguineguín and Puerto Rico | €5.45 Puerto Rico · €5.25 Patalavaca · €4.95 Arguineguín · €2.30 San Telmo | 60–90 min | Hourly, roughly 06:15–21:15 |

| 5 | Las Palmas ⇒ Faro de Maspalomas via the airport — the late service | €4.05 Faro · €2.75 Bahía Feliz · €2.30 San Telmo | 50–70 min | Limited; check the current line 5 timetable before relying on it |
| 11 | Las Palmas ⇒ Agüimes via the airport | €2.30 San Telmo · €1.40 Agüimes | 30–45 min | Roughly 05:30–22:00 |
| 36 | Telde ⇒ Faro de Maspalomas via the airport, all stops | €4.05 Faro · €1.45 Telde · €1.40 Carrizal | 70+ min | Hourly, daytime only |
Fares and timetables change with the regional subsidy scheme, and Canary residents travel far cheaper than visitors, so treat the figures above as the visitor price and check the Global fare calculator on the day. A rechargeable travel card reduces the per-trip cost if you plan to use buses all week — but it is not worth buying for one airport run.
Is the bus really more reliable than a taxi from Gran Canaria Airport?
We sell taxis, so read this with that in mind — but our answer is not the one you might expect, because sending the wrong customer to a taxi is how you earn a one-star review.
What travellers consistently praise about the buses
Global's airport lines have a good reputation among repeat visitors. Vehicles are modern and air-conditioned, stops are rarely announced but the routes are simple to follow, and the 60 to Las Palmas is genuinely fast because it runs the motorway without intermediate stops. For a solo traveller with a cabin bag heading to Santa Catalina, it is hard to argue with €2.95.
Where the bus quietly fails people
Three recurring complaints:
- Hourly frequency on the southern lines means a 55-minute wait if you land at the wrong moment.
- The resort stops are on main avenues, so a 15-minute walk with cases in 28°C heat is common.
- After roughly 20:30 the southern services thin out to the overnight line 5. Add a delayed flight and a hotel in Meloneras, and a €4 ticket turns into a two-hour arrival.
Our recommendation, by traveller type
Take the bus if…
- You are one or two people, travelling light
- Landing between about 08:00 and 19:00
- Staying within a short walk of a main avenue in Las Palmas, Playa del Inglés or San Agustín
Take a taxi or pre-booked transfer if…
- You are three or more, have checked luggage
- Travelling with children or reduced mobility
- Land after 20:00 or before 07:00
- Heading to Puerto Rico, Mogán, Agaete, Teror or anywhere inland
On those runs the bus is not cheaper per head once you have split a fare, and it is dramatically slower.
Reliability, plainly
The bus is reliable at what it does; it just does not do door-to-door.
A taxi is reliable at door-to-door; it just does not control the queue at the rank on a Saturday in February.
A pre-booked transfer is the only option that removes both variables, which is the entire reason it exists.
Which airlines fly to Gran Canaria Airport?
LPA is a base for Binter Canarias, Canaryfly, Vueling, Norwegian and airBaltic, and a focus city for Ryanair. Roughly 140 destinations are served across Europe, mainland Spain, the other Canary Islands, Madeira and West Africa — which is why the arrivals profile is so mixed, and why the taxi rank looks different at 09:00 and at 23:00.
Binter Canarias & Canaryfly
The backbone of island-hopping: Tenerife North, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, plus Binter services to Madeira, Morocco, Cape Verde and Senegal. High frequency, short turnarounds, and passengers who often need a taxi within minutes of landing.
Iberia Express, Air Europa, Vueling, Ryanair
Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Sevilla, Málaga and Valencia run all year, alongside Ryanair's 30-odd European routes. This is the traffic that fills the mid-morning and early evening peaks at the rank.
Norwegian, SAS, Sunclass, TUI fly Nordic, Smartwings
Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki and the Norwegian regions. Overwhelmingly winter-weighted and heavily package-based, with a lot of long-stay guests and golf bags.
Jet2, easyJet, TUI, Ryanair, Aer Lingus, British Airways
Manchester, London Gatwick and Stansted, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds Bradford, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dublin. Non-Schengen since Brexit, so passport queues add 10–25 minutes before you reach the rank.
Eurowings, Condor, Lufthansa group, Transavia, KLM, Edelweiss
Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Zurich, Vienna, Brussels. German and Dutch traffic is the largest single European segment after the Nordics.
Air Transat, charter and West Africa services
A Montréal link operates seasonally, alongside charter programmes to Cape Verde and The Gambia in winter, and scheduled West African services that make LPA a genuine Atlantic crossroads rather than just a holiday airport.
Routes change every season. Check your airline's live schedule before travel — and if your flight number changes, update your booking with us so the tracking follows the right aircraft.
Is Gran Canaria an expensive airport to arrive at?
No. By Spanish and wider European standards LPA is one of the cheaper large airports to get out of, and the reasons are structural rather than seasonal.
Short distances
The island is small
Nowhere you are likely to stay is more than 55 km away, and most resorts are inside 30 km. Compare a €42 run to Playa del Inglés with the €70–110 typical of Málaga to Marbella or Alicante to the Costa Blanca resorts.
Regulated fares
No airport surcharge racket
The airport supplement is €2.10, flat and published by Aena at every hour of the day. There is no toll on the GC-1, no congestion charge, and no separate "airport access fee" added to your fare.
Real competition
Buses that actually work
A €2.30–€4.05 bus alternative on every major corridor keeps the market honest. Airports without a credible public option are where transfer prices drift.
Where LPA sits against comparable holiday airports
| Airport | Typical main resort | Distance | Typical taxi fare |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Gran Canaria (LPA)
This airport
|
Playa del Inglés | 26 km | ≈€41 |
| Tenerife South (TFS) | Costa Adeje | 20 km | ≈€40 |
| Lanzarote (ACE) | Puerto del Carmen | 9 km | ≈€20 |
| Málaga (AGP) | Marbella | 50 km | ≈€80 |
| Faro (FAO) | Albufeira | 48 km | ≈€60 |
Comparison figures are indicative daytime fares for a standard saloon, shown to give a sense of scale rather than as quotes. Lanzarote is cheaper simply because Puerto del Carmen is 9 km from the runway.
Where LPA does get expensive is the airport café: expect resort prices airside, and fill a bottle at the water fountains near the toilets instead.
How the taxi rank at LPA works — and how not to get caught out
Gran Canaria has around 2,650 licensed taxis across its 21 municipalities and no Uber, Bolt or Cabify, so the rank is the system. It is simple and well policed, and almost every bad experience reported at this airport comes from stepping outside it.
Aena's own guidance is blunt about this: take a taxi from the marked rank at the terminal and refuse anyone approaching you inside the building or in the car park. An unlicensed pick-up has no meter, no insurance cover for you, and no licence number to complain about.
It is a first-in, first-out queue on both sides. Asking for a specific vehicle is not how the rank works, though a marshal will assign a larger car if you clearly need one.
It should start from the flag-down figure, not from a running total. Tariff 1 is the daytime rate; tariff 2 covers nights, Sundays and holidays. If the display shows the higher rate at 14:00 on a Tuesday, say so before you set off.
Rounding up is normal and appreciated; nothing more is expected. Luggage handling is not separately charged under the current Canary tariff — bags go in, the meter runs, that is the fare. The only legitimate extra is the €2.10 airport supplement.
Most cabs take cards, but not all, and a machine can be out of service. Thirty seconds of asking at the rank beats a detour to a cash machine in Maspalomas.
It carries the licence number, the date and the fare. Without it, a complaint about an overcharge has nothing to attach to.
Mid-morning after the Nordic and German waves, and again between roughly 16:00 and 21:00 in high season, waits of 15–20 minutes are normal. Carnival weekends and the first Saturday of a school holiday are the worst.
Where a pre-booked transfer changes the maths
None of the above is a problem if you have a driver already standing in Arrivals with your name. You skip the queue, the tariff question and the card machine question in one move, and the price you saw when you booked is the price you pay — including at 02:00 on 1 January, when the meter would be on the Christmas rate.
Events on Gran Canaria that fill the airport — and the taxi rank
Transfers are a demand business. These are the weeks when flights fill, rank queues lengthen and pre‑booking stops being optional. Dates shift slightly each year, so confirm with the organisers before you build a trip around one.
Carnival of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Five‑plus weeks of galas, parades and street parties centred on Parque Santa Catalina, with the Drag Queen Gala and the Gran Cabalgata as the peak nights. The 2026 edition ran from 23 January to 1 March, and the 2027 dates will sit in the same late-January to early-March window. Expect heavy late-night airport traffic and long rank queues after midnight.
Maspalomas Carnival
The southern counterpart, with the big parade running along Avenida de Italia and Avenida de Gran Canaria towards the lighthouse. Resort roads close in sections, so transfers to Playa del Inglés need extra time on parade days.
Bear Carnival, Maspalomas
Ten days built around the Yumbo Centre. One of several LGBTQ+ events that make the south a year‑round destination rather than a summer one.
Maspalomas Pride
The island's largest international event after Carnival, drawing visitors from across Europe. Hotels in Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas sell out months ahead and so do south‑bound transfers.
Noche de San Juan
Bonfires and midnight swims along Las Canteras beach in Las Palmas. A city‑wide night out; taxis into the capital are scarce between 01:00 and 04:00.
Granca Live Fest & Canarias Jazz & Más
Large‑scale music programming in and around Las Palmas through midsummer, coinciding with the start of the mainland Spanish holiday season.
Bajada de la Rama, Agaete
One of the oldest surviving pre‑Hispanic rituals in the Canaries, when thousands descend on a small north‑western town. Parking is impossible; a drop‑off is the sensible arrival.
Fiestas del Pino, Teror
The island's patron saint festival and its biggest pilgrimage, with walkers heading up to Teror overnight. Mountain roads fill and the inland transfer takes noticeably longer.
Fiesta del Charco, La Aldea de San Nicolás
An 11 September fish‑catching ritual in a coastal lagoon, on the far west of the island — a long, scenic transfer and an easy day trip pairing with the Agaete road.
Gran Canaria SUM Festival, Fetish Pride & Winter Pride
Autumn keeps the south busy well past the summer season, and November is when Nordic winter‑sun traffic ramps up sharply at the airport.
Christmas, New Year and Reyes
The single most expensive time to take a metered taxi: a special Christmas tariff applies on 24 and 31 December and 5 January from 22:00. Fixed‑price transfers are unaffected.
Popular routes and attractions from Gran Canaria Airport
A useful way to think about the island: the north is a working city with beaches, the south is the resort strip, and the middle is a volcanic massif that most visitors underestimate. All three are within an hour of the terminal.
Maspalomas Dunes
A protected 400‑hectare dune field running down to the lighthouse, with Playa del Inglés at one end and Meloneras at the other. The reason most flights into LPA exist. Drop‑offs at the Faro or at any hotel on Avenida de Tirajana.
Las Canteras & Vegueta
Three kilometres of city beach protected by a natural reef, plus the old town where Columbus's house museum sits. Genuinely one of the best urban beaches in Europe and completely unlike the south.
Roque Nublo & Tejeda
The island's basalt monolith, reached by a short walk from a mountain car park, with Tejeda's whitewashed streets below. Winding roads, big drops, and a very different climate from the coast — bring a jacket.
Agaete & Puerto de las Nieves
A fishing harbour with natural pools, the Guayedra coast, and the fast ferry to Tenerife. Also the gateway to the Agaete valley coffee plantations — the only commercial coffee grown in Europe.
Puerto de Mogán
Canals, bougainvillea and a Friday market, at the far end of the GC-1. Quieter than Puerto Rico, and the classic destination for travellers who want the south without the nightlife.
Teror & Arucas
Wooden balconies, the Basilica of the Pine, a Sunday market that smells of chorizo, and a neo‑Gothic church in Arucas built from local blue stone. The Gran Canaria most visitors never see.
Also worth a visit
Palmitos Park
Botanical park and bird shows in a ravine above Maspalomas.
Poema del Mar
Large aquarium on the Las Palmas waterfront, good for a wet day.
Cueva Pintada, Gáldar
Painted pre‑Hispanic cave and archaeological park in the north.
Puerto Rico & Amadores
Sheltered beaches, dolphin trips and the south‑west's marina scene.
How to book your Gran Canaria Airport taxi
Four steps, no phone calls, no deposit games. The price you see is the price you pay, and nothing is added at the door.
Enter route and flight number
Pick-up “Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)”, drop-off your hotel or address. The flight number is what lets us follow the live arrival time instead of the scheduled one.
Choose vehicle and extras
Saloon for up to 4, minivan for 5–8, minibus above that. Child and booster seats, golf bags, bikes, surfboards and a wheelchair-accessible vehicle are all requested here.
Pay the fixed price
Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You get a confirmation with the vehicle and driver details, and free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up.
Meet your driver in arrivals
Floor 0, name board, 60 minutes of free waiting after an international landing and 45 after an inter-island one. Bags in the boot, and you are on the GC-1 in minutes.
Which vehicle do you actually need for LPA?
The usual mistake is booking by headcount and forgetting the luggage. A Canarian saloon takes four people, but four people with four large cases and a pushchair is a minivan job.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon / estate | 1–4 | 3 large + 3 cabin | Couples and small families. Every fare quoted on this page is for this vehicle. |
| Minivan | 5–8 | 8 large | Groups, golf trips, families with pushchairs. Quoted at booking. |
| Minibus | 9–16 | 16 large | Wedding parties, sports teams, tour groups arriving on one flight. |
| Wheelchair-accessible | 1–4 + wheelchair | 4 large | Ramp-equipped vehicle. Needs 48 hours' notice — tell us at booking. |
Child seats are free
Spanish law requires a restraint for children under 135 cm. Rank taxis almost never carry one; tell us your children's ages and it is fitted before you land, at no charge.
Golf, bikes and boards
Meloneras and Salobre golf traffic is heavy all winter. Declare oversized items at booking so the right vehicle is sent — a saloon will not swallow four golf bags.
Extra stops
A supermarket stop in Vecindario or a key collection in Playa del Inglés can be added at booking for a small fixed supplement, agreed in advance rather than argued at the roadside.
Gran Canaria Airport transfers by destination
Each route has its own page with journey time, the metered comparison, drop-off notes for the main hotels and local pick-up advice for the return leg.

Who is driving you, and who is responsible
Transfer marketplaces are full of anonymous middlemen. These are the things worth checking before you hand over a card number — with anybody, including us.
Licensed operators only
Every vehicle is a licensed Canarian taxi or an authorised VTC working under Cabildo de Gran Canaria rules, with commercial passenger insurance. Unlicensed pick-ups at LPA are illegal and leave you uninsured.
Real flight tracking
We watch the live arrival feed, not your booked time. A two-hour delay from Manchester does not cost you a euro, and does not need a phone call from a baggage hall.
One price, all in
The €2.10 airport supplement, luggage, child seats and the night or holiday tariff are already inside the quote. There is no card-machine surcharge and no “motorway fee” — the GC-1 has no tolls.
A person to call
24/7 WhatsApp and phone support in English, Spanish and German, plus the driver's direct number in your confirmation email the day before travel.
