Puerto de la Cruz to Tenerife South Airport taxi
From £136.13 fixed for a pre-booked saloon to Tenerife South Airport.

How this compares
| Option | Cost for 2 | Journey time | Door to door? | Pre-bookable? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Airport Taxi Hub, pre-booked | Cost for 2: £136.13 one price per car, up to 3 passengersFrom £136.13, fixed, including 60 minutes free waiting after your flight lands | Journey time: 59 minutes | Door to door? Yes | Pre-bookable? Yes |
| TITSA line 343 | Cost for 2: Fare not published on the line page | Journey time: 75 minutes from Puerto de la Cruz to the airport, but only four working-day departures, at 06:00, 10:15, 14:45 and 18:15, with nothing after 18:15 | Door to door? No | Pre-bookable? No |
| Taxi from the airport rank | Cost for 2: Regulated tariff rather than a fixed price, over the longest of our routes from this airport. The regulation provides a flat interurban class for airport runs, but we could not find the published amount for these municipalities, so we do not quote one | Journey time: About 66 minutes free-flow over roughly 94.0 km | Door to door? Yes | Pre-bookable? No |
| Fly into Tenerife Norte instead | Cost for 2: Whatever the fare difference is on the day, against a much shorter ground transfer | Journey time: About 26 minutes free-flow over roughly 30.5 km, against 66 minutes from the south | Door to door? Yes | Pre-bookable? Yes |
When not to book us: The honest first answer is that you may be at the wrong airport. Tenerife Norte is 26 kilometres from Puerto de la Cruz, a drive of about 30.5 km and about 26 minutes, against about 94.0 km and about 66 minutes from Tenerife Sur on our routing. If your dates work from the north, the ground leg shrinks by about forty minutes. If you are coming into the south anyway, which most British charter traffic does, then line 343 is the cheap option and a genuine one, at 75 minutes for the leg. What it is not is frequent. There are four working-day departures from Puerto de la Cruz, at 06:00, 10:15, 14:45 and 18:15, and nothing after 18:15, so a delayed flight can cost you the best part of a day. That gap, rather than the seat price, is what the booked car is buying on this pair.
Where you meet your driver
- Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email. On a cross-island run that call matters more than usual, because the driver is committing to an hour of road before anything else.
- Meet at the airport's designated pick-up point. The signed rank Aena lists at Terminal, Floor 0, Arrivals is the public queue and is not where your driver waits.
- Express pick-up is included. A name board in the arrivals hall is meet and greet, a paid extra added at checkout.
- Flight tracking is included and the free waiting window in your fare starts at touchdown, which is the cover that matters when the alternative leaves the airport for Puerto de la Cruz only four times a day. The allowance is set out in the comparison above.
- Going the other way, leave room for the road. The Valley of La Orotava sits at 15 to 22 degrees and the drive back to the airport is the longest of our routes from 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.

Questions people ask about this route
How far is Puerto de la Cruz from Tenerife South Airport?
About 94.0 km, which is 58.4 miles, and about 66 minutes with an empty road. The route leaves the airport on the TF-1 and crosses to the north coast by the TF-5. That free-flow figure has no traffic in it, and the approach to Santa Cruz is where a real journey loses its extra minutes.
Is there a direct bus from Tenerife South Airport to Puerto de la Cruz?
Yes, TITSA line 343, which runs Estacion Puerto de la Cruz, Botanico, TF-5, Tenerife Norte airport, Tenerife Sur airport and Estacion Costa Adeje. Coming off a flight you want the airport-to-Puerto direction, which passes Tenerife Sur at 09:35, 13:05, 17:50 and 21:50 on a working day. Going out, it leaves Puerto de la Cruz at 06:00, 10:15, 14:45 and 18:15 and reaches the airport 75 minutes later. Aena describes the same line as running between the two airports direct in 50 minutes.
Should I have flown into Tenerife North instead?
For Puerto de la Cruz, on distance alone, yes. Turismo de Tenerife puts Tenerife Norte 26 kilometres from the town, and our routing makes that drive about 30.5 km and about 26 minutes, against 94.0 km and about 66 minutes from the southern airport. The catch is what flies there: mainly inter-island and mainland Spanish services with some international flights, which is why most British arrivals land in the south.
How long does the whole journey take on public transport?
Allow far more than the 75 minutes on the line itself. There are four departures a working day in each direction, so the wait after baggage reclaim is usually the larger half of the trip. Miss the 21:50 pick-up at the airport and there is no later one that day; miss the 18:15 out of Puerto de la Cruz and the same applies.
Can you collect for an early flight out of Tenerife South?
Yes, and the price does not rise because of the hour. Work backwards carefully on this pair: an hour of road plus check-in, and between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., and when there are no flights, the terminal is closed to the public with access limited to staff and to passengers in the hours before departure. Arriving very early does not buy you a seat inside.
Is a taxi from the rank cheaper than booking ahead?
We cannot tell you, and we would rather say so. The regulation provides a flat interurban class for airport runs, but we could not find a published amount for these municipalities, so no figure appears on this page in either direction. What is certain is that this is the longest of our routes from this airport, at about 94.0 km. Aena's advice is to take a taxi only from the signed rank at the terminal and to ask for a receipt.
Do you drop at Loro Parque and the hotels around Lago Martianez?
Yes, and to the streets of the old quarter as well, though the historic centre has over 140 protected buildings and some of its cobbled lanes are narrow, so give the exact address and we will get as close as the street allows.
Is your price per person or for the whole car?
For the whole car, fixed when you book and paid online by card. On a run this long that matters more than on a short hop: the vehicle price does not climb with the distance once it is agreed, and it does not change if the road is slow.
What if my flight is delayed?
The inbound is tracked at no charge and the collection moves to the real landing time. The free waiting window included in your fare starts at touchdown, which on a cross-island transfer is the difference between a driver still being there and an evening spent rebooking. The allowance is stated in the comparison above.
Can I book the return leg and add child seats?
Yes to both. The return is quoted per vehicle the same way, and child seats are added on request at booking. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before travel; inside that window the booking is charged in full.
