Transfers from Lanzarote airport
Private or shared transfer from Lanzarote airport: when it beats the bus or the taxi and what to confirm before booking.
Transfers from Lanzarote airport
A transfer is not a taxi: it is a service booked in advance, with a fixed price and a driver waiting with your name. In Lanzarote it makes sense in specific cases — when you arrive at night and there is no convenient bus to your area, when you are travelling in a group and the per-person split beats two taxis, or when your accommodation is somewhere with no direct line (such as Costa Teguise).
Against a taxi, a transfer gives a fixed price and an assigned car; against the bus, it wins on comfort and time and loses on price. For one person heading to Arrecife or Puerto del Carmen, the bus is usually unbeatable; for a group heading to Playa Blanca or Costa Teguise at night, a transfer usually pays off.
Preguntas frecuentes
At night, in a group, or if your accommodation is far from a bus stop (Costa Teguise, for example, has no direct line). For a lone traveller heading to Arrecife or Puerto del Carmen by day, the bus is cheaper and more frequent.
What happens if the flight is delayed, how much waiting time is included and whether the price is per vehicle or per person.
