Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) in Spain's Canary Islands to Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Puerto de Mogán and Las Palmas, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Gran Canaria Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our Gran Canaria airport transportation takes you from Gando to hotels, resorts and apartments in Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas and Meloneras, along the south coast to Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogán, and north to Las Palmas and Las Canteras beach.
Gran Canaria airport transfers start in the ground-floor arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign after baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for your vehicle is fixed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Gran Canaria airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, resort, apartment or villa in the south, in Las Palmas or at the port for your cruise or ferry. Enter your address in the booking form to see the vehicles for your party before you pay. Staying inland or on the north and west coast? Enter the address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Gran Canaria airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a tour operator coach that stops at hotel after hotel on the way down to the resorts. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers, golf bags and bikes, and suits families and groups heading to Maspalomas or Puerto de Mogán.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), also known as Las Palmas Airport or Gando Airport, is on the Bay of Gando on the island's east coast, and Aena runs it. All flights use one terminal, divided into zones: A for inter-island flights, B and C for Spanish and Schengen flights, and D for international flights outside the Schengen area.
Flights from mainland Spain and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK and Ireland, you go through passport control first. Arrivals are on the ground floor: collect your bags in one of the two baggage claim halls, where customs is, then walk out into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.
The Canary Islands are on Western European Time (UTC+0, UTC+1 from late March to late October), one hour behind mainland Spain. Spain uses the euro.
Schengen entry. The Canary Islands are part of Spain and the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers arriving from outside it are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Customs limits. The Canary Islands are outside the EU VAT and customs area, so duty-free limits on tobacco, alcohol and other goods apply even on flights from mainland Spain, and again when you fly back.
One hour behind Madrid. The islands run one hour behind mainland Spain, so give your flight times in local Canary Islands time, especially for a return pickup after a connection.
Official taxis only. Aena advises taking taxis only from the signposted stand outside the terminal; ignore anyone offering rides inside arrivals and check the company name on your confirmation.
