Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Tenerife South Airport (TFS) to hotels, apartments and villas in Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje and El Médano, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Tenerife South 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 airport transportation in Tenerife South takes you from TFS to hotels, apartments and villas in Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje, to El Médano, Golf del Sur and Los Abrigos, and to the ferry port in Los Cristianos.
Tenerife South airport transfers start in the arrivals area on Floor 0 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 you choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage and golf bags.
Each Tenerife South airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa in the southern resorts, or to the port in Los Cristianos for the ferries to La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. Enter your address in the booking form to see the vehicles for your party before you pay. Heading to Santa Cruz, Puerto de la Cruz or Los Gigantes? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Tenerife South airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a coach that drops other travelers at hotel after hotel along the coast. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and golf clubs, and suits families and groups bound for Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas or a villa.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Tenerife South Airport (TFS), also called Tenerife Sur or Reina Sofía Airport, is on the island's south coast in Granadilla de Abona, and Aena runs it. All flights use one terminal: arrivals, two baggage claim halls with 14 carousels, the bus stops and the taxi stand are on Floor 0.
Flights from Spain and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK and Ireland, you line up at passport control. After baggage claim you pass the customs channels into the arrivals area, 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) at passport control. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Duty-free limits. The Canary Islands are outside the EU VAT and customs area, so duty-free allowances on tobacco, alcohol and other goods apply on arrival and when you fly home, even to mainland Spain.
Check your airport. Tenerife has two airports. This page is for Tenerife South (TFS); many domestic and inter-island flights use Tenerife North (TFN), so check the code on your ticket.
Canary time. The islands are one hour behind mainland Spain, so give your pickup and flight times in local Canary time.

We monitor the arrival of the flight on your reservation, but can't find you on a different one. Tell customer service if any of these change:
About one checked suitcase and one carry-on each; the right vehicle depends on the total volume. Tell us about golf clubs, surfboards, bikes, strollers or extra bags.

Give the wheelchair's size, weight and whether it folds, so a suitable vehicle is assigned.
Ask for authorization before booking and tell us about the animal and its carrier.

Check your airport
Tenerife has two airports, so check that your ticket says Tenerife South (TFS) and not Tenerife North (TFN).
Duty-free limits
The Canary Islands are outside the EU VAT and customs area, so duty-free allowances apply to goods you carry in or take home.

In the arrivals area on Floor 0 of the single terminal, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and customs.
Los Cristianos is about 18 km (11 miles) west along the TF-1 highway and Costa Adeje about 20 km (12 miles), with Playa de las Américas between them, so the drive is short. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is about 63 km (39 miles) to the northeast.
Yes. We drive door to door to hotels, apartments and villas in Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje, La Caleta and Callao Salvaje.
Yes. We drive to hotels, apartments and villas in El Médano, Golf del Sur, Amarilla Golf and Los Abrigos, close to the airport on the south coast.
Yes. We drive you to the port in Los Cristianos, where ferries leave for La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. Give us your sailing time when you book, so the pickup leaves a comfortable margin for check-in.
Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz are in the north of the island, and Los Gigantes is on the west coast. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Yes. Give the full street address, the apartment or villa number and any gate or access code. Where a street is pedestrian or too narrow, as on some seafront promenades, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.
One. All flights use the same terminal, and every arriving passenger exits into the arrivals area on Floor 0, so there is no terminal to choose.
This page books rides from Tenerife South Airport (TFS), near the southern resorts. Tenerife North (TFN), near La Laguna, is a different airport used by many domestic and inter-island flights, so check the code on your ticket.
Yes. Book with your flight number and your driver waits for your actual landing time. For an early departure, note that Aena closes the terminal to the public from 23:00 to 4:00, so the ride back is timed for when it reopens and check-in starts.
There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. Aena advises taking taxis only from the signed rank, and if someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.
Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, apartment or villa, and give your flight number and departure time in local Canary time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.
