A taxi rank is located directly outside the arrivals terminal. Services are generally available to coincide with flight arrivals. For guaranteed service, especially for late flights or travel to more distant parts of the island like La Restinga or Frontera, it is advisable to book in advance.
Several car rental companies, including Cicar, Cabrera Medina, and Payless, have service desks located in the arrivals hall of the terminal. Renting a car is highly recommended for exploring the island. Due to limited vehicle availability, booking well in advance is essential, particularly during peak seasons.
The island's public bus service, operated by TransHierro, connects the airport with key destinations. The bus stop is located just outside the terminal building. Routes such as Line 10 (Valverde - Airport - Puerto de la Estaca) and Line 11 (Valverde - Airport - La Restinga) serve the airport. Timetables are often coordinated with flight schedules, but it is crucial to check the official TransHierro website for the most current times.
