Taxis at Tenerife South Airport
As more and more people buy their holidays "unpackaged", that is, you book your flights, accommodation and other needs separately, this may well be of interest. Gabriel at Blog-Tenerife has published a useful photo showing taxi rates from Tenerife south airport to some of the major resort destinations on the island.
These are only approximate fares, because the exact fare will be according to the meter, but should give a guide to what you should be asked to pay, within a couple of euros, or so.
The distances are also marked, which is interesting, but the two columns (with prices listed in EUROS), marked DIURNO and NOCTURNO, refer to the daytime and night time rates, respectively.
For those who prefer to have everything organized ahead, you can book your taxi online before you travel. You'll pay fractionally more if you do it this way, but you'll be buying peace of mind that everything is taken care of.
Comparing three services, I checked the cost of a pre-booked taxi from Tenerife south airport to Los Cristianos. Prices (in POUNDS) varied and were; A2Btransfers (£27.40), Resorthoppa (£31.00) and Holiday Taxis (£32.40).
Obviously, prices will vary, depending on the time, the number of passengers, etc., but these should help you shop around for the one that suits you. All three of those services also offer shared shuttle bus services, which, again depending on the number of people, might prove to be better value.
