Taxi in Lanzarote: what your options are and which suits you
How do taxis work at Lanzarote airport?
There is an official taxi rank outside Arrivals. The service runs on a first-come basis and the fare is set by the meter according to the official tariff. Capacity depends on whichever vehicle is available; large groups may need more than one car.
What is the difference between a taxi and a private transfer?
| Metered taxi | Speedybus transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Fare | By meter and official tariff | Checked over WhatsApp before booking |

When does each option suit?
For a short, unplanned journey within a town, a rank taxi does the job. For airport arrivals and departures, families with luggage, groups or early-hours transfers, a private transfer lets you arrange the vehicle, the pick-up and the destination in advance.
How do I book a private transfer in Lanzarote?
With Speedybus one WhatsApp message to +34 679 91 21 11 with pick-up, destination, date and passengers is enough. We reply over WhatsApp to confirm availability and price. The full guide is at Lanzarote airport transfers.
