What is included

The journey

Fifty minutes north-east on the TF-1. The capital, the cruise port and the auditorium are all within the same central area.

Arriving at Tenerife South Airport

Tenerife South handles almost all holiday traffic to the island. The TF-1 motorway runs west to the resorts in twenty minutes and north to Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz in about an hour.

How long it really takes

Maps says 50 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.

When to book

FAQ

How long does it take to get from Tenerife Airport to Santa Cruz de Tenerife?

About 50 minutes for the 60 km, outside peak traffic. Your driver knows the route and follows the flight, so a delayed landing moves the pick-up rather than costing you the transfer.

How much is a transfer from Tenerife Airport to Santa Cruz de Tenerife?

From €117 for up to four passengers, and €173 for a group of five to eight in a van. The price is fixed when you book — tolls and taxes included, nothing added at the end.

What happens if my flight is late?

We track the flight number you give us. The driver waits and adjusts to the actual landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting after the plane touches down.

Where do I meet the driver at Tenerife Airport?

In the arrivals hall after you clear customs. The day before your trip we send you the driver's name, phone number and vehicle, and they contact you with the exact spot.

Can I cancel?

Free up to 24 hours before pick-up, refunded in full and automatically. On many routes you can also book without paying and we only charge the card 48 hours before you travel.
