Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Official airport taxis are available 24/7 from the designated taxi rank located just outside the arrivals hall on the ground floor. The vehicles are white with a blue stripe and operate on a metered fare system. Fares depend on the destination, time of day, and day of the week. Most taxis accept both cash and credit card payments.

Rental Cars

A wide variety of car rental companies operate directly from the airport, with desks located in the arrivals hall. Major international brands like Hertz, Avis, Europcar, and Sixt are present, alongside popular local companies such as Cicar, Goldcar, and TopCar. It is highly recommended to book your vehicle in advance for the best rates and availability. Cars are collected from the nearby parking garage.

Public Transportation

The airport is well-served by the island's public bus network ('guaguas'), operated by the company Global. The bus stops are located on the upper level, outside the departures hall. Key routes include Line 60 to the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and lines 66, 90, and 91, which connect to the popular southern resorts like Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, and Puerto Rico. You can buy tickets directly from the driver.
