How to book your Playa Del Ingles taxi transfers

Securing your transfer from Las Palmas Airport to Playa Del Ingles with us could not be more straightforward. All you have to do is fill out your travel details at the top of this page and hit ‘Search’. You’ll then be given a choice between private vehicles or shared shuttle buses for your journey.

Shuttle bus or private transport?

If you’re undecided on which transport option to choose, here’s an idea of what’s on offer:

Shuttle bus

This can be a more cost-efficient choice.
There may be some waiting time at Las Palmas Airport once you’ve touched down, as you’ll be sharing the bus with other passengers, whose flights may land after yours.
There will be drop-off points for other travellers along the route and your accommodation may not be the first stop on the way.

Private vehicle

You and the rest of your party will be the only passengers on board.
You will have an agreed pick-up time, which is listed on the e-ticket for your Playa Del Ingles transfers. This is the point at which you’ll meet the driver of your vehicle.
You’ll be taken straight to your vehicle and driven directly to your accommodation without any stops along the way.

Additional transfer options: Public transport

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, there are several public buses that run from Gran Canaria Airport to Playa del Ingles. Bus lines such as 66 and 90 are commonly used and run frequently throughout the day.

Prices and what’s included

How far is Playa del Ingles from the airport?

Playa del Ingles is located approximately 32 km (20 miles) from Las Palmas Airport (LPA). The transfer time from Gran Canaria Airport to Playa del Ingles usually ranges from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on your transport type and traffic conditions.

Whether you’re travelling by private taxi, shared shuttle, or public bus, the journey is quite straightforward along the main GC-1 motorway that runs along the coast.

How much do Playa Del Ingles transfers cost?

Once you’ve filled in your travel details and hit ‘Search’ atop this page, you’ll be given a price for your airport transfer from Gran Canaria to Playa Del Ingles. However, the amounts shown are live valuations and are subject to change depending on currency rates and resort pricing. So, if you leave your search and return to it later, you may find the prices have altered slightly.

What happens after I choose my transport?

After you’ve picked your transport vehicle, you’ll be taken to the ‘Extras’ section, which includes information on your luggage allowance. Typically, both our private transfers and shuttle buses allow one suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per passenger. However, this part of the process allows you to book any additional luggage – whether it be more bags, golf clubs, a wheelchair or a bike.

After booking: what to expect

Your e-ticket

Once the booking of your Playa Del Ingles transfers is completed, we’ll send an e-ticket to your email address. We ask that you please keep this document in a safe place as it includes important information including pick-up details and contact numbers. We advise familiarising yourself with the e-ticket and all its information before you touch down.

It could also be worth printing off your e-ticket before you travel and keeping it in your hand luggage, as having a hard copy easy to hand may come in useful when showing it to your driver, while it will also mean you retain a copy even if your hold luggage gets delayed.

Where should I go when I land?

If you check the ‘Find my pick-up’ section, you’ll see our helpful instructions on where you need to go to catch your transfer from Las Palmas Airport to Playa Del Ingles. It’s worth having your e-ticket to hand when you touch down.

Please be aware that your instructions can vary depending on your transport provider and whether you’re travelling privately or on a shuttle bus. Most services ask you to head to the arrivals hall, where you’ll be greeted by a representative holding a sign bearing either your name, that of hoppa, or that of the transport company.

Please be sure to read your pick-up instructions carefully. If you can’t see any details on the e-ticket regarding your Playa Del Ingles transfers, ring the number provided and we’ll be able to tell you where you need to go.

What if I can’t find my driver?

Regrettably, traffic jams can sometimes cause the drivers of our Playa Del Ingles transfers to be a little delayed. But there’s no need to be worried – if your driver is running late, all you need to do is ring the number on your e-ticket and we’ll be able to provide you with an update.

What if I'm running late?

Similarly, there’s no need to panic if your flight is behind schedule or you’re stuck waiting for your luggage to come off the carousel. Just ring the number on your e-ticket to let us know and we can inform your driver to wait for up to 45 minutes after the original pick-up time.

If your delay is going to extend beyond 45 minutes, we’ll send you a new driver. If you’re significantly delayed – by more than three hours – you’ll have to rearrange your Playa Del Ingles transfers with us and get in touch with your travel insurer.
