    have a loo at www.a2btransfers.com i think it would be worth booking in advance to see if you can get a taxi to fit you all in and without any possible wait
  • We used Viajes Islas canarias on a recent trip to Lanzarote. They were excellant and also opperate in Tenerife. Slightly more expensive than jumping in a taxi at the airport but so worth it for peace of mind espiecally as you like us are a family of five.. And you almost feel important when you come through arrivals and see a board with your name on it.. I know little things please ....:D

    Have a great holiday.

    We've always just got a taxi at the rank at the airport...there are always plenty and the longest we've ever had to wait was about 15 minutes
  • HI thanks for that,we went to Salou last year and got taxis straight outside the airport and on the way back the hotel booked them for us,i will def have a look at the links,does anyone know what the transfer time is to puerto santiago from airport.:T
  • A taxi for 4 will cost 20-25 euros, but as there is 5 of you then you won't fit into a taxi.

    for years we have been using.

    they have always been there and never let us down.
  • Thanks for that,any idea how much they charge,sent them e mail but nothing back so far,not even sure how long it will take to get to our resort..:confused:

    There is a taxi rank/stand outside the airport, there is also a list of prices to what ever resort you require

    one thing to note, i'm sure after a certain time (and certainly the time you arrive) the fares go up (night rate)

    we have used a taxi to and from the airport to Los Cristanos price worked out at 25 euros

    and like a few others have said taxis only take 4

    I used thse this year.. 16 euros each way for 2 of us.to las americas .prob a bit more for 5.

    They were waiting at airport when we arrived so we left without waiting.

    On return I rang them the day before and they picked us up from hotel when we wanted then to.

    You dont prepay either.
  • HI,Thanks for that, we e mailed them and they have quoted us 65 each way, so think we will prob go with them,just need car parking and insurance now...any recomendations..:think:
