Airport Transportation in Tenerife North

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna 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.

Airport transportation from Tenerife North takes you from Los Rodeos to the historic streets of La Laguna, the port city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz and the Orotava Valley, and on to the southern resorts.

Tenerife North Airport Transfers

Our Tenerife North airport transfers start in the arrivals hall on Floor 0, where your driver meets you after baggage claim and walks with you to the car. Inter-island and mainland flights use the same terminal, and we track your flight so the pickup follows your real landing time.

Enter your hotel or address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans to minivans for families and groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Unlike a taxi line at the rank, your ride is booked before you land and goes door to door, whether you are staying in La Laguna's old town, a hotel in Santa Cruz or an apartment in Puerto de la Cruz.

Tenerife North Airport Shuttle

Our Tenerife North airport shuttle is a private minivan or minibus for your party only: it goes straight to your address with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases, strollers and sports gear, so it suits families, business teams and groups arriving together on Tenerife.

Landing at Tenerife North Airport

Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport (TFN), also known as Tenerife North or Los Rodeos, stands on a plateau at 633 m in the north of Tenerife, beside San Cristóbal de La Laguna. It is the Tenerife hub of Binter Canarias and handles mostly flights to the other Canary Islands and mainland Spain. Passengers use one terminal, with an inter-island area for flights to the other islands.

On most flights, which come from within Spain or the Schengen Area, you walk straight from the aircraft to baggage claim. Arrivals from outside the Schengen Area pass border control first. After collecting your bags, continue into the arrivals hall on Floor 0.

The Canary Islands are on Western European Time (UTC+0 in winter, UTC+1 in summer), one hour behind mainland Spain.

Entry requirements and local notes

ID on domestic flights. Most arrivals are from within Spain or the Schengen Area, with no passport control, but airlines require a valid passport or national ID card to board.

Border control for non-Schengen arrivals. Travelers from outside the Schengen Area go through border control, where the EU Entry/Exit System records non-EU visitors' entry with a facial image and fingerprints. Check whether your nationality needs a visa for Spain before you travel.

Canary Islands customs. The Canary Islands are outside the EU VAT area, so tax-free allowances apply to tobacco, alcohol and other goods you take on to mainland Spain or other EU countries.

Official taxi rank. Taxis pick up only at the official rank on Floor 0; ignore drivers who approach you inside the terminal.

Tenerife North Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Tenerife North Airport?

Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall on Floor 0 of the terminal, after you collect your bags, and walks with you to the car. Every flight, including inter-island flights from the other Canary Islands, uses the same terminal, so all travelers come out into the same hall. Check the company name before you get in.

How far is Tenerife North Airport from La Laguna and Santa Cruz?

The airport is about 2 km from the historic center of San Cristóbal de La Laguna and about 10 km from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, both reached by the TF-5 motorway. Puerto de la Cruz is about 26 km away on the north coast. Allow extra time at weekday rush hours, when the motorway between La Laguna and Santa Cruz is busy.

Is Tenerife North the same airport as Tenerife South?

No. Tenerife North (TFN) is near La Laguna and handles mostly flights to the other Canary Islands and mainland Spain. Tenerife South (TFS) is about 80 km away by road and serves most international flights. Check the code on your ticket. If you land at TFS, book on our Tenerife South Airport Transportation page instead.

Can you take me to La Laguna or Santa Cruz de Tenerife?

Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels, apartments and homes in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, including the historic center, and in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, including the port area. Give us the full address or hotel name when you book, so your driver goes straight to the right entrance.

Can you take me to Puerto de la Cruz?

Yes. Book a private transfer from Tenerife North to your hotel or apartment in Puerto de la Cruz or elsewhere in the Orotava Valley on the north coast. Choose a vehicle sized for your party and luggage, and give us the full address so your driver can drop you at the door.

Can you take me to Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos or Mount Teide?

Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos are about 80 km away in the south of the island, and Teide National Park is up in the mountains. Share the address when you book and we'll confirm the trip; if a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay.

What if my flight arrives late at night or very early?

Your transfer can be booked for any arrival time on your flight. Give us your flight number when you book, and your driver plans the pickup around the scheduled landing. Late-evening and early-morning arrivals are common on inter-island and mainland flights, so book ahead rather than relying on finding transport when you land.

What happens if my flight to Tenerife North is delayed?

We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. Low cloud sometimes affects flights at Tenerife North, so if your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is diverted or canceled, tell customer service so we can move your pickup.

Can I book a ride back to Tenerife North Airport?

Yes. Book a return from your hotel or home in La Laguna, Santa Cruz, Puerto de la Cruz or elsewhere on Tenerife, and give us your flight time. Make sure your flight leaves from Tenerife North (TFN) and not Tenerife South, so your driver takes you to the right airport.

Do I need a passport to land at Tenerife North?

Usually not for passport control: most flights at Tenerife North come from within Spain or the Schengen Area. Airlines still require a valid passport or national ID card to board. Travelers arriving from outside the Schengen Area go through border control, where the EU Entry/Exit System records non-EU visitors.

What time zone is Tenerife in?

Tenerife and the other Canary Islands are one hour behind mainland Spain, on UTC+0 in winter and UTC+1 in summer. If you fly in from Madrid or Barcelona, set your watch back an hour, and use local Canary time when you give us your pickup time for a return transfer.

Where can I find more about Tenerife North Airport?
