Transfer from Gran Canaria airport to hotel

skystar

Hi folks

We are off to Gran Canaria next week and diy-ing it for the first time :eek:

With regards to transfers to the hotel is it best to pre-book the taxi or just get one there?

Does it make any difference to price?

Any recommendations for companies to use?

Now for the really silly question.......how do you find your taxi?!?

Thanks in advance

Try grancanaria forum
if i remember correctly we booked through Owen on this forum
approx £20 per taxi peurto rico
however when you leave the airport terminal all the taxi are waiting outside just makesure they have the meter running they cost alittle bit extra than above

hope this helps

Hi, Colloq beat me to it. I was also going to recommend Owens from the canaryforum.com. Link is on the top right hand corner of the home page.

If you pre-book your taxi, someone will be standing outside arrivals with a board with your name on, or the name of your hotel.

when you go out from the airport just turn right. there is a taxi stand. if there is no taxi parked there, there's a useful button to press and a taxi will be with you shortly (less than 2 mins) (press it only once :rolleyes::rolleyes: or you will get some taxi driver upset)


taxi are quite cheap in GC compared to the uk. Where in the island will u stay?

Thanks for that. I think we are going to pre book the taxi. Doesn't seem too expensive - roughly £25.

We are staying in Maspalomas.

you can get a taxi at the airport and the fare should be between 20 to 30 euros. a bit cheaper than the pre booked.
i go to GC twice a year (used to live there) and i can assure you there will be plenty of taxis at the airport.

hope you have a great time, i love maspalomas!

Thanks again.

He he, we love it too. This is our 3rd time back there . Although normally it is booked as a package and transfers included this is why we are all confused this time
