Transfers from Gran Canaria airport
A transfer is not a taxi: it is a service booked in advance, at a fixed price, with a driver waiting with your name. In Gran Canaria it makes sense in specific cases — when you arrive at night and there’s no convenient bus to the south, when you’re in a group and the cost per person beats two taxis, or when your accommodation is in an area with no direct route.
Compared with a taxi, a transfer gives a fixed price and an assigned car; compared with the bus, it wins on comfort and time, and loses on price. For one person heading to Las Palmas or Maspalomas, the bus is usually unbeatable; for a group heading to the south-west at night, a transfer usually pays off.
Preguntas frecuentes
Late at night, in a group, or if your accommodation is far from a bus stop. For a lone traveller heading to the capital or Maspalomas by day, the bus is cheaper and very frequent.
What happens if the flight is delayed, how much waiting time is included and whether the price is per vehicle or per person.
