Shared shuttle or private transfer in Lanzarote?

An airport shuttle takes passengers from different bookings in the same vehicle. A private transfer reserves a vehicle for your party. To compare them, look beyond the first fare: check the total for everyone travelling, the destination stop, luggage and the return pickup.

Start with the destination, not the headline fare

Give the full accommodation address and ask where the service will leave you. If the offer names a hotel stop or meeting point, check the remaining journey with your luggage. A resort name alone may not identify the right entrance.

Ask how the shared journey is organised

With a shared shuttle, you may travel alongside passengers going to other hotels, so the route can include several stops. Check the provider’s pickup arrangements and where you should meet the driver. Ask what happens if your flight changes and how you receive return-pickup instructions.

For a private transfer, confirm which party the vehicle is reserved for and whether every passenger and item of luggage is included in the request. Describe child-seat or equipment needs before accepting the arrangement.

Compare the full party and both directions

Record whether each quoted amount covers a person, a group or a vehicle. Use the same passenger count, luggage and travel dates for both offers. Compare the return journey separately if it has different pickup arrangements.

For example, compare the shuttle price for every traveller with the private quote for the whole party, using the same dates and luggage. Check whether the shared service stops at your accommodation or at a nearby meeting point, and ask how each operator handles your return pickup.

For a private-transfer enquiry, send Speedybus your flight, date, exact destination, passengers and luggage requirements. Confirm availability and the complete price before booking. Once you have chosen a private service, use the quote comparison worksheet.
