    https://www.clicktransfers.com have pretty good prices anyway, and a 15% discount code at the moment. You can choose between a shuttle, speedy shuttle or taxi, and they give you approximate times for each.

    They pick you up at an appropriate time, you just give them your flight number. P.s. At Tenerife, check-in doesn't open until 2 hours before,

    Be careful with Resorthoppa in Tenerife, there are a lot of bad reviews from people not being picked up for the return journey to the airport and having the panic {and cost} of having to get a local taxi at the last minute with no refunds. I am not saying it happens all the time but people do not want that worry at the end of a holiday.

    Resorthoppa use Viehas Urbas (sp) in TFS and they are a shambles. You can expect to wait at least an hour from when you check in with them until you get on a coach. They forgot to pick us up from the hotel once so we got a taxi. To their credit Resorthoppa refunded us our taxi fare because they tried to get an explanation out of VU but didn't get a reply from them.
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    as I asked before, what transport are you using on the way out?
    Not really relevant but to satisfy your curiosity the flight out is from Glasgow with Jet2. But its not convenient for me to return to Glasgow hence the Manchester flight.

    I think he means how did you get to your hotel from the airport when you arrived.

    Just in case that is what he meant. A taxi is booked for 4 of us to get from the airport to the resort. Their return flight to Glasgow leaves in the afternoon and I won't make them suffer waiting in the airport longer than necessary.

    I've booked the speedy shuttle. As this is a one way journey do I need to confirm the pick up? The literature from Travel Rep suggests not (appears to be more concerned about return journeys).

    Well I made it to the airport. Had a slight issue with Quick Travel (Travel Republic agents in Tenerife) when I was confirming the pick up. The web based system had no record. So phoned them up and they had no record and suggested that I ring Travel Republic. Got that sorted and the bus arrived within 10 mins of the allocated time. For readers of this thread the hotel receptionist commented that she didn't rate Quick Travel as she regularly has to assist guests. Though without emperical data to crunch its hard to put much weight on that. I suspect though that the communication links between Travel Rep and its agents isn't as robust as they would have us believe.
