- We reply to confirm availability and price. No compulsory advance payment.

Why book instead of taking a taxi on arrival?
In high season there can be a queue at the taxi rank when you land, and the fare is set by the meter. With a booked transfer the vehicle matches the size of your group and the driver already knows your destination. The full comparison is in taxi in Lanzarote, and if you are weighing up a hire car, in car hire or transfer.
