Where to find the taxi stand at Tenerife South Airport? Stepping out of the arrivals hall, you'll find the taxi rank straight ahead.
Taxis on Tenerife are distinctively white.
- It's practically impossible to miss the taxi stand; it's right in front of the exit. You'll typically see a long queue of about 50 white taxis, often a mix of spacious minibuses and estate cars, ready and waiting.
- The taxi drivers here are generally very friendly. You’ll likely hear a welcoming Spanish "Hola" – though often pronounced closer to "Ola" as the 'h' is silent in this context. It simply means "hello" or "hi"!
- So, how much does a taxi from the airport to your hotel or accommodation usually cost?
- Based on my own experience, I stayed in an apartment in El Médano, which is roughly a 15-minute drive from the airport, and the fare was approximately 15 euros. This gives you a good benchmark.
- If you're travelling solo and your hotel is a considerable distance away, opting for the Titsa public bus service often proves to be a more economical choice.
- However, if you're travelling as a group of several people, sharing a taxi can significantly reduce the individual cost, making it a very competitive and convenient option.
- Let's be honest, taxis are generally a preferred option for those with a bit more wiggle room in their travel budget. Budget-conscious travellers and younger visitors will almost always seek out the most affordable transport alternatives.
