Tenerife South Airport Transfers Private Taxis & Shuttles to Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos & Playa de las Américas

Tenerife South Airport Transfers - Reliable & Affordable Rides

You land at Tenerife South after a four-hour charter, and the taxi rank outside arrivals is already banked up with the same flight's worth of families. Your resort might be Costa Adeje, 20 minutes up the coast, or Puerto de la Cruz, an hour and a quarter north across Tenerife, and the metered fare you will pay is anyone's guess.

More than 40 million travellers have booked their transfer this way through hoppa's network of 70,000+ vetted local operators. Trusted by Mastercard, and UnionPay as the mobility infrastructure for agentic travel.

Expect €30 to €40 on the meter to Costa Adeje, before any night or luggage extras.

A hoppa private car starts from £42 and a shared seat from £8 per person. The price stays put, whatever the traffic does on the TF-1. Dates, headcount and any live hoppa promotion move the number you see at checkout. Prices are indicative.

How much is a taxi from Tenerife South airport to Playa de las Américas?

The meter usually lands between €25 and €35 for the run to Playa de las Américas.

Pre-book and a private car starts from £42, with a shared seat from £8 per person. The figure you lock in depends on your travel details, and a hoppa promotion may lower it on the day. Prices are indicative.

How much is a taxi from Tenerife South airport to Puerto de la Cruz?

The north coast is the long fare. A metered taxi to Puerto de la Cruz costs roughly €70 to €90.

A hoppa private car starts from £78 (about €92). A shared seat starts from £18 (about €21) per person. Check your own date and group size at booking. A hoppa promotion can cut the fare, and prices are indicative.

What is the cheapest taxi from Tenerife South airport?

The cheapest fixed fare is a shared shuttle seat, from £8 per person to the southern resorts. You get a set price and a vetted local operator.

A private car costs more and drives only your group. It is priced per vehicle, so it suits families more than solo travellers. Your checkout total reflects your travel details, and a current hoppa promotion can trim it. Prices are indicative.

How much is a transfer from Tenerife South airport to Los Gigantes or Santa Cruz?

Los Gigantes and Playa la Arena start from £58 by private car (about €68) and £12 per shared seat. Santa Cruz de Tenerife starts from £62 (about €73) private and £14 shared.

Is there a night fee on a late arrival at Tenerife South?

Some routes add a fee for rides that start between 22:00 and 08:00. It is listed in your quote, so there is no surprise later.

No one asks you for extra cash at the kerb.

How long is the transfer from Tenerife South airport?

How far is Costa Adeje from Tenerife South airport?

About 20 km, so around 20 minutes on the TF-1 motorway. Costa Adeje is the closest big resort strip to the terminal.

How long does it take to get from Tenerife South airport to Los Cristianos or Playa de las Américas?

Los Cristianos takes about 20 minutes. Playa de las Américas takes about 25.

Both sit on the same southern stretch of the TF-1, so one driver can often serve neighbouring hotels in a single run.

How long is the drive from Tenerife South airport to Puerto de la Cruz?

Around 1 hour 10 minutes, covering roughly 92 km across the middle of the island. That is a different trip from a resort hop.

Plan a comfortable seat and a snack. A fixed price helps here more than anywhere else on the island.

How far is Santa Cruz de Tenerife from Tenerife South airport?

Allow about 45 minutes by road. You head north-east, away from the beach resorts.

How long to Los Gigantes or Playa la Arena?

Both take about 40 minutes. You leave the TF-1 resort strip and head up the west coast.

Why does a shared shuttle take longer than a private car?

A shared shuttle may wait up to 45 minutes at the airport for other passengers. It then calls at several hotels on the way.

If your hotel is late on the route, add extra time to your plans. A private car goes straight to your door.

Taxi, bus or shuttle from Tenerife South airport?

Is there a shuttle bus from Tenerife South airport to Costa Adeje?

Yes. A hoppa shared shuttle starts from £8 per person to the southern resorts. You ride with other travellers on a set route, with drop-offs at several hotels.

Book ahead and your seat is fixed. Your final fare follows your travel details, and a hoppa promotion running when you book can bring it down. Prices are indicative.

Is there a public bus from Tenerife South airport to Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos?

Yes. Public buses, known as guaguas, serve the main resorts for a few euros. They suit you if you travel light.

They stop running in the evening. Check the last departure before you rely on one.

What if my flight lands after the buses have stopped?

Then you choose between the taxi rank and a booked transfer. The rank can charge a night surcharge on the meter.

A pre-booked driver is already inside arrivals when you walk out. The price was set before you left home.

Can I just take a taxi from the rank at Tenerife South airport?

You can. On summer changeover days the queue outside can run long in the heat.

The meter decides the final fare, and it only stops at your door. A booked transfer swaps that guess for a fixed number.

What is the difference between a private transfer and a shared shuttle?

A private transfer carries only your party and goes direct to your accommodation. A shared shuttle carries other holidaymakers and follows a route with set drop-off points.

Private trips come with a specific pick-up time. Shuttle passengers should allow for a wait at the airport before departure.

How do hotel transfers from Tenerife South airport work?

You enter your arrival date, passenger count and hotel address in the booking form. You then pick a shuttle or a private car, and the fixed price shows upfront.

Your e-ticket lists your driver's name, the meeting point and your return trip details.

Cars, minibuses and luggage for Tenerife South transfers

Can I book a private transfer from Tenerife South airport for a family?

Yes. A private MPV to Costa Adeje starts from £73, and a private car starts from £42. Pick the vehicle that fits your party and cases.

Families of six or more can look at a private minibus instead. Dates, headcount and any live hoppa promotion move the number you see at checkout. Prices are indicative.

Do you run minibuses and coaches from Tenerife South airport?

Yes. Private minibuses carry groups of 6 to 16. Coaches carry up to 60 passengers, which suits weddings, stag and hen parties and conference groups.

Share your final headcount at booking so the right size waits at arrivals.

Is there a luxury airport transfer from Tenerife South?

Yes. The premium fleet includes executive saloons and luxury SUVs with air conditioning and extra seat room.

Type your route into the booking form to see the fixed fare for your date.

How many bags can I take on a Tenerife South transfer?

Plan on one case up to 24 inches for each passenger. A case over 24 inches counts as two pieces.

Count your party and your bags before you pick a vehicle. Four people and a pushchair need a car for five.

Can I bring golf clubs or a buggy on my transfer?

Yes. Tell hoppa at booking, in the extras step, so the right vehicle turns up. Clubs, buggies and other bulky items need space planned in advance.

Can I add a child seat or a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?

Your first child seat is free. Request it at booking and it is fitted before you land.

For a motorised wheelchair, ask for an adapted car in the extras box. Tell hoppa about a folding wheelchair too, so your driver can help on arrival.

Arriving at Tenerife South airport

Where do I meet my driver at Tenerife South airport?

Tenerife South has one arrivals hall. After baggage reclaim, look for your driver with a name sign inside the hall, not out at the kerb.

The driver's name, photo and plate are on your e-ticket.

What is Tenerife South airport called?

Locals know it as Reina Sofía Airport. Its code is TFS. Both names point to the same single terminal in the south of the island.

Where is Tenerife South airport?

It sits at the dry southern tip of the island. Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje are close by on the TF-1.

The north, including Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz, is a longer drive over the middle of the island.

Will my driver wait if my flight to Tenerife South is late?

Yes. hoppa tracks your flight number and adjusts to the new landing time. On a domestic flight, your up to 60 minutes of free waiting starts when you land. On an international flight, a 30-minute buffer is added to your landing time first, and the free wait of up to 60 minutes starts after it.

Your e-ticket keeps the pick-up details in one place.

What if I land more than 2 hours late?

A landing more than 2 hours after the scheduled arrival time may require a reschedule. If the driver cannot pick you up as scheduled, the order is cancelled without charge.

A late plane never raises your fixed price.

What if I cannot see my driver at Tenerife South?

Stay inside the arrivals hall and open the Find my pick-up section of your e-ticket. It lists the contact details for the team.

hoppa answers in an average of 11 seconds, any hour of the day. A real person picks up.

Your return to Tenerife South and your booking

How do I book a taxi from my hotel back to Tenerife South airport?

Add the return when you book, or book it later with your hotel as the pick-up and TFS as the drop-off. Your e-ticket then carries the return details.

Taxi trips from Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos to the airport work the same way, with a fixed price.

How long will my driver wait at my hotel for the airport run?

Your driver waits up to 15 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time. Be ready in the lobby a few minutes before.

Leave extra margin if you head north on the island's main roads.

When do I find out my shuttle pick-up time for the flight home?

You can check it 24 hours before your flight leaves. A text arrives if you opted in at booking, or you can look under My bookings online.

Arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes before the bus is due.

Can I cancel my Tenerife South airport transfer?

Yes. Cars and vehicles with up to 7 seats need cancelling at least 24 hours before pick-up for a full refund. Less than 24 hours means you pay in full.

Vehicles for 8 to 14 passengers need at least 48 hours. On coaches with 16 seats or more, 14 days or more brings a full refund. Less than 14 days but more than 7 brings 50%. Less than 7 days brings nothing.

How long does a refund take to arrive?

Expect it within 5 to 7 business days of hoppa receiving your cancellation request.

Can I change my Tenerife booking after I pay?

Where your booking is eligible, you get one free change to names, contact numbers, passenger count or luggage count, as long as the vehicle still fits.

A different route, vehicle or pick-up point means cancelling and rebooking at the current price.

Which cards can I use to book?

You can pay with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro or PayPal at checkout.

Tenerife South airport – What you need to know

Tenerife South Airport (TFS), also known as Reina Sofía Airport, is the island’s busiest airport, welcoming millions of visitors each year. It is well-equipped with modern facilities, ensuring a comfortable experience for travellers.

The airport has a range of shopping and dining options, including duty-free shops, souvenir stores, and various cafes and restaurants where you can grab a bite before or after your flight. If you need last-minute essentials or luxury items, you’ll find plenty of options inside the terminal.

Transportation to and from the airport is straightforward, with Tenerife taxi transfers, buses, and private transfers readily available. However, during peak travel seasons, booking your taxi transfer in advance is highly recommended to avoid long waits. The airport can get particularly busy during the winter months and summer holidays, so planning ahead will ensure a stress-free journey.

Tenerife South airport terminal guide and meeting point

When you land at Tenerife South (Reina Sofía) you clear a single arrivals hall. After baggage reclaim, look for your hoppa driver holding a name sign inside the hall, not out at the kerb. The mistake first-time visitors make is walking straight past the meet-and-greet point to the taxi rank, where on summer changeover days the queue runs long. Your driver is already inside, waiting, with your name on the board.

Tenerife South sits on the arid southern tip of the island, close to Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje on the TF-1 motorway. The north, Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz, is a longer haul over the centre of the island. Public buses (guaguas) serve the main resorts on a budget, but they stop in the evening, so a late charter leaves you choosing between a pre-booked transfer and the surcharged taxi rank. Pre-book and that decision is already made for you.

Where to go when you land at TFS, where every hoppa driver waits, and how Tenerife’s roads actually work

Arrivals

Tenerife South (Reina Sofía) clears every flight through a single arrivals hall. After baggage reclaim, look inside the hall — not out at the kerb.

Where to meet your driver

Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall holding a name sign, with their name, photo and plate already on your e-ticket. The southern resorts are a short run down the TF-1 once you have met.

Skip the changeover-day queue

On summer changeover days the taxi rank queue runs long in the heat. Do not walk straight past the meet-and-greet point to the rank — your hoppa driver is already inside with your name on the board.

Delays & Driver Info

1

Free waiting time

On a domestic flight, your up to 60 minutes of free waiting starts when you land. On an international flight, a 30-minute buffer is added to your landing time first, and the free wait starts after it. That is ample time to clear passport control, collect your bags and walk out of Tenerife South. You are never charged for a late flight.

Flight delayed, diverted or landing early?

Landing early, late or with a terminal change is no problem. Your driver tracks your flight number and adjusts to the new landing time automatically, so your booking does not break and nobody leaves without you.

?

Can’t see your driver?

Stay inside the arrivals hall and call the number on your e-ticket rather than wandering out to the kerb. hoppa’s team answers in an average of 11 seconds, 24/7 — a real person, not a chatbot.

General Travel Information

€

Currency & tipping

Euros (€). Tipping is not expected in Spain — round up if you wish, but your hoppa price is fixed and settled in advance, so nothing is owed on arrival.

T

Peak traffic

The TF-1 motorway to Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje is quick. The north — Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz — is a longer haul over the centre of the island, so allow more time.

!

Taxi warning

A meter to the northern resorts over the island centre climbs fast; for anything beyond the southern TF-1 strip a fixed price usually wins.

B

Honest budget alternative

The public guaguas (buses) serve the main resorts for a few euros — fine if you travel light, but they stop in the evening, leaving the surcharged rank for late charters.

What to do around Tenerife?

Tenerife stacks a volcano national park, water parks and warm southern beaches within a short transfer of TFS.

  • Mount Teide: Spain’s highest peak and its national park, with a cable car to the summit ridge.
  • Costa Adeje & Los Cristianos: the calm southern beaches and marina promenades.
  • Siam Park & Masca: the island’s famous water park and the dramatic Masca gorge village.

Frequently asked questions

How do I book my Tenerife transfers?

For a quick, no-fuss booking service, we have everything covered. To arrange your Tenerife transfers, let us know in the search bar the dates you’re travelling and how many of you will be in your group.

We’ll then send you a list of transfer options that are available for your journey. You’ll be able to take your pick from shuttle buses or private transfers from Tenerife South.

When you make your selection, you’ll reach the ‘Extras’ stage of your booking. This is where you’ll see the ‘Anything we can help with?’ box, which is your chance to tell us about your individual requirements for your transfer.

For example, if you have any unusual luggage, or you need an adapted car for a motorised wheelchair, just fill out what you need in the box, and we’ll do the rest. Should you have a foldable wheelchair with you, let us know in this section too so that your driver can offer you some assistance when you arrive in Tenerife.

Once you’ve completed your booking, we’ll send an e-ticket to your email address. We recommend you print this off as your driver will request to see it.

All the key details about your Tenerife transfers can be found on here, including pick-up times as well as how to find your driver when you land in Tenerife. Keep hold of it during your holiday as it also features information about your return trip to the airport.

Should I choose a shuttle bus service or private transport?

The type of transfer you choose will depend on factors such as how you like to travel and whether you have any specific requirements.

If you book a private transfer, you and those you’re holidaying with will be the only passengers. You’ll all be taken directly to your holiday accommodation from the airport and you can choose a vehicle that suits your needs, such as wheelchair access or extra room for luggage.

When you choose to travel by shuttle bus for your Tenerife transfers, you’ll share the journey to your accommodation with other holidaymakers. There are designated drop-off points along the way and the driver will have a list of where everyone is staying, so there’s set route to follow.

Also, when you’re choosing between private transfers and shuttle bus you might want to consider the pick-up process. With private transfers, you’ll be given specific pick-up times for both your trip to your accommodation and the journey back, and these timings are included on the e-ticket. This means you’ll know when and where to expect your driver.

Shuttle bus passengers, on the other hand, may have to wait for up to 45 minutes before setting off from the airport. This is because other passengers will be arriving on different flights and you’ll be sharing your transfer journey with them.

Is there a luggage limit for Tenerife transfers?

Whichever transfer transport you choose, everyone in your party can bring one suitcase and one piece of hand luggage. We’ll confirm this with you when you book but check before you travel to make sure your vehicle is the right fit for the number of people and the amount of luggage each of you will have. If, for example, you are bringing four people and a pushchair, you’ll need to book a vehicle for five people.

What happens when I get to Tenerife South Airport?

When you arrive at Tenerife South Airport, where you meet your driver will usually depend on the type of transfer you’ve selected and the transfer partner who is operating the service. Check your e-ticket for directions when you reach arrivals so that you know where you need to go.

We tend to direct our transfer passengers to hoppa desk Number 3, which you’ll find in the arrivals hall and marked with the words ‘Canary shuttle’. When you meet your travel representative, show them your ticket and they’ll tell you where you need to go next.

Always check your e-ticket to make sure you’re following the most up-to-date details. If you can’t see any directions on your ticket, call the number in the ‘Find my pick-up’ section of your ticket for information about what you need to do next.

What if my driver’s not there at TFS South?

Our drivers can sometimes be slightly delayed due to traffic. If you can’t find your driver when you arrive in Tenerife, call the number on your e-ticket to get an update. You’ll be asked for your reference number, which you’ll see on your ticket, and we’ll let you know how long they’ll be.

My flight into Tenerife is delayed, what now?

We know that not everything goes to plan. That’s why your driver waits for you when your flight is delayed or your luggage hasn’t arrived. On a domestic flight, your up to 60 minutes of free waiting starts when you land. On an international flight, a 30-minute buffer is added to your landing time first, and the free wait starts after it.

Ring the number on your e-ticket the moment you know you will miss your pick-up time. Arriving more than 2 hours after your scheduled arrival time may mean rescheduling your transfer. Where a driver cannot collect you as scheduled, the order is cancelled without charge.

What can I find at Tenerife South Airport?

Tenerife South is the largest of the two airports in Tenerife. It’s also the Canary Islands’ second-busiest airport, with over 12.3 million passengers arriving and departing in 2023 and an average of eight million passengers annually over the last 15 years.

Whether you’ve just arrived or you’re waiting for your flight, there’s lots on offer here, with eateries serving up tapas, shops selling souvenirs, plus a range of services.

Where shall I meet my driver for my return Private transfer?

If you opt for a private transfer to take you back for your return flight, you’ll need to check your e-ticket carefully as this will detail the time that your driver will arrive at your holiday accommodation to collect you. We ask you to be ready 15 minutes before your pick-up time.

You’ll also receive a reminder text if you opt in to receive SMS messages from hoppa when you make your booking. Should things not go to plan on the day, call one of the emergency numbers listed on your ticket.

Where shall I meet my driver for my return Shuttle transfer?

If you choose to travel via shuttle bus for your Tenerife South Airport transfer, you’ll be able to check your pick-up time 24 hours before your plane departure time. We’ll either send you a text message if you’ve enabled receiving SMS messages on booking, or you can check online. Click on the ‘My bookings’ and ‘Get my pick-up time’ links.

Can’t find your pick-up time the day before you fly? Don’t worry. Simply call the number on your ticket and we’ll explain how to reach your return transfer.

Arrive at least 10 minutes before your bus is scheduled to get to the pick-up point so that you have plenty of time. Call the emergency number on your e-ticket if your bus is late so that we can find out where your driver is.

What if my flight is cancelled?

If your flight is cancelled, contact us immediately so we can reschedule your transfer based on your new arrival details. We will do our best to accommodate changes and minimise any disruption to your journey.

Are your prices fixed, or are there hidden fees?

Our prices are transparent and fixed, so you won’t encounter unexpected charges.

Can I cancel or modify my booking?

Yes, we offer flexible booking options. Please check our cancellation policy for details.

Do you offer child seats?

Yes, child seats are available upon request during the booking process.

Is tipping the driver necessary?

Tipping is optional but always appreciated if you’re happy with the service.
