Arriving at a new airport is always a little exciting. To get to the center of Las Palmas or your hotel from Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) comfortably and without hassle, it is important to know the available transportation options, their cost and approximate travel time. We will help you navigate and choose the optimal way to reach your destination.
Official taxi stands are usually located directly near the exits from the arrival terminals. Follow the clear signs and avoid offers from individuals offering taxi services inside the airport – this may be unlicensed transportation. The cost of the trip depends on the distance and time of day. An estimated price to the center of Las Palmas is from 30 to 50 euros. Keep in mind that during peak hours or at night the price may be higher. Make sure the driver has turned on the meter or agree on a fixed price before the trip.
A private transfer is a convenient option, especially if you are traveling with a large group or with a lot of luggage. Usually, after booking, you will be informed of the meeting point – this may be near the exits from the terminals, where the driver will be waiting with a sign with your name. It is important to confirm the transfer details (flight number, arrival time, number of passengers) in advance. The price of a private transfer is fixed at the time of booking and usually ranges from 60 to 90 euros to the center of Las Palmas. Make sure that all taxes and fees are included in the price.
Shared shuttles are a more economical option, but it may take longer as the driver may make stops at other hotels. They are suitable if you are not in a hurry and want to save money. The cost of a shared shuttle usually ranges from 15 to 25 euros per person. Minibuses usually run on a schedule, so check the departure time and boarding location.
