How much is a taxi from Lanzarote Airport to Arrecife?
Lanzarote Airport sits on the coast between Arrecife and Playa Honda, and the island's resorts fan out north and south of it. Arrecife is the closest of them, so the choice here is usually about luggage, the hour you land and how many of you there are rather than about distance.
A rank car runs on a meter whose rates are set for the whole of the Canary Islands, and the rate band changes with the clock and the calendar: one set of figures on a weekday afternoon, a higher set at night, on a Sunday and on a public holiday, and a higher one again on three dates over Christmas. Our price is agreed when you book and does not move with the hour, the traffic or the airport supplement.
When the rank is the better choice: a short daytime run into Arrecife for one or two people with hand luggage is cheap on the meter, and the queue outside arrivals is usually short. Booking ahead earns its money on a late landing, with a group, with hold luggage, or when the address is at the far end of the island.

Where do I meet my driver at Lanzarote?
- Clear immigration and baggage reclaim and come through into the arrivals hall on floor 0. Aena puts the airport's meeting point in Terminal 1 arrivals, in the same hall as the Cabildo de Lanzarote tourist information office.
- Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email. Screenshot it before you fly, because it arrives separately from the booking confirmation.
- Your driver waits at the airport's designated pick-up point. The rank outside arrivals is a separate queue of island-licensed cars, and Aena's own advice is to use the rank only from the rank itself rather than accepting an offer elsewhere.
- Express pick-up is included in your fixed price. If you would rather be met inside the arrivals hall with a name board, add meet and greet at checkout, which is a paid extra.
- Your booking includes 60 minutes free waiting after your flight lands, and we track the inbound at no charge, so book against the scheduled arrival time rather than padding it.
Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.
Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.
Rank, ride-hail, drop-off and the facts that move the meter
Two terminals, two ranks
The ranks are at Terminal T1, floor 0, arrivals and Terminal T2, floor 0, arrivals. Aena's advice on the same page is to take a taxi only from the rank inside the terminal, to refuse offers made elsewhere, and to ask for a bill.
(Aena (Cesar Manrique-Lanzarote Airport), checked 14 September 2026)Which terminal you land at
Terminal T1 takes international and domestic flights and holds the customs hall and seven baggage carousels. Terminal T2 has a single carousel and handles inter-island flights. If you are arriving from the UK you are coming out of T1.
(Aena (Cesar Manrique-Lanzarote Airport), checked 14 September 2026)The airport supplement is real, and it is small
The published fare table carries a 2.10 euro charge for a service to or from airport or port grounds. It applies in both directions and on every rate band, so it lands on the fare home as well as the fare out.
(Aena (Cesar Manrique-Lanzarote Airport), checked 14 September 2026)The meter changes band three times
Fare 1 covers weekday daytimes. Fare 2 covers nights from 10:00 p.m., Sundays and public holidays, at a higher minimum and a higher rate per kilometre. A separate Christmas band applies on 24 and 31 December and 5 January in the last two hours of the evening.
(Aena (Cesar Manrique-Lanzarote Airport), checked 14 September 2026)Who sets the fares
The interurban rate was set by an order of 14 March 2023 amending Decreto 246/2017, and drivers were given three months to load the new amounts into their taximeters. Urban rates are set municipality by municipality and published by the Canary Islands government.
(Gobierno de Canarias, Boletin Oficial de Canarias 2023/59, checked 14 September 2026)No supplement that is not in the tariff
The Tias taxi regulation, which governs the municipality holding Puerto del Carmen, makes the approved tariffs binding on driver and passenger alike and expressly prohibits charging anything that the rules do not provide for. If a figure is not in the tariff, it should not be on the bill.
(Ayuntamiento de Tias, checked 14 September 2026)Dropping someone off
Aena publishes no free drop-off window and no drop-off price for this airport. There are two car parks, P1 beside Terminal T1 and P2 beside Terminal T2, and their rates appear only once you are inside Aena's booking tool.

How much is a taxi from Lanzarote Airport to Arrecife?
Our price is quoted live on this page before you book and does not change afterwards. A rank car is metered instead: on Fare 1 the meter opens at 3.85 euros, which covers the first 1,500 metres, and then runs at 1.35 euros a kilometre, the road distance is about 7.5 km, and the 2.10 euro airport supplement is added on top. That is a short, cheap run on the meter, and we say so.
Is there a taxi rank at Lanzarote Airport?
Yes, one at each terminal, on floor 0 in arrivals. Aena's own guidance is to take a taxi only from the rank inside the terminal, to ignore drivers offering rides from other areas, and to ask for a bill.
Is Uber or Bolt available in Lanzarote?
Neither app covers the island. Uber's own list of Spanish cities names ten Canary Islands municipalities and every one of them is on Tenerife. Bolt lists thirteen Spanish cities, and none of those is in the Canary Islands either. Plan on the rank or on a booking rather than on opening an app when you land.
Is there a bus from Lanzarote Airport to Arrecife and the resorts?
Yes, run by Arrecife Bus from stops at Terminal T1 and Terminal T2, floor 0, arrivals. Aena gives line 22 to Arrecife as approximately every 40-50 minutes, line 23 to Arrecife and Playa Honda as approximately every 60 minutes, and line 161 to Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca as approximately every 30-60 minutes; line 61 makes one late run south at 22:30. The operator lists twenty-two line 22 departures from Aeropuerto T2 between 05:45 and 23:15, and warns that from 1 October 2026 line 22 changes its hours and line 22D stops running.
How much is the bus from Lanzarote Airport?
We are not publishing a figure, because Arrecife Bus does not publish a single-ticket fare table on its website. It sells stored-value bono cards instead, with the Bono General taking 10 per cent off the ticket price, sold on board and at its Arrecife, Playa Blanca and Intercambiador offices. A dated number we cannot stand behind is worse than none.
Why does the taxi cost more at night or on a Sunday?
Because the meter moves to a different band. Fare 2 runs from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and all day on Sundays and public holidays, opening at 4.25 euros and charging 1.55 euros a kilometre instead of 3.85 and 1.35. A separate Christmas band applies on 24 and 31 December and on 5 January in the last two hours before midnight. Our price does not have bands: it is the same figure whatever time you land.
Where do I meet my driver at Lanzarote Airport?
At the airport's designated pick-up point, and you reach them on the mobile number in your supplier details email. Aena's own meeting point is in Terminal 1 arrivals on floor 0, beside the Cabildo de Lanzarote tourist information desk, which is a useful landmark if you get separated. Being met inside the hall with a name board is meet and greet, a paid extra you add at checkout rather than something included.
Is there a train from Lanzarote Airport?
No. Aena's how to get here section for this airport offers car, bus and taxi, and lists no rail, tram or metro option at all. There is nothing to connect onto, which is why the road choice is the whole choice here.
How long is the drive from Lanzarote Airport to Arrecife?
About 13 minutes with the road clear, over roughly 7.5 km on the LZ-2. That figure is free-flow, which assumes no traffic, so treat it as the best case rather than the usual one.
How much does it cost to drop someone off at Lanzarote Airport?
Aena publishes no drop-off charge and no free drop-off window for this airport. The car parks are P1 at Terminal T1 and P2 at Terminal T2, and the only place their rates appear is inside Aena's own booking tool, so check there before you drive over.
Can I book child seats, and how much luggage fits?
Child seats are on request when you book. A saloon takes up to three passengers and three standard suitcases; an estate takes a fourth passenger with the same three cases; a people carrier takes up to five, and an eight-seat vehicle covers larger parties. Tell us the party and the cases at the quote stage and the vehicle is sized to them, because a family of four is already past a saloon whatever they are carrying.
What happens if my flight is delayed, and can I cancel?
We track the inbound flight and move the pick-up to the real landing time at no extra charge, and the free waiting window in your fare runs from touchdown. Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled pick-up are free; inside 24 hours the booking is charged in full. Prices are per vehicle, fixed when you book and paid online by card.
