How much a taxi from Gran Canaria airport to the south costs
It depends on how far your hotel is. To Maspalomas, where most people go, it is around 55 € at most. To Playa del Inglés, 55 €. To the far end of Mogán, 80 €. Below you have the 23 destinations, one by one.
Every figure is the maximum, not the minimum. It sits above what the meter usually reads on purpose, so there are no surprises on arrival. I give you the ceiling and not the prettiest number: I would rather tell you today than leave you wondering on the day of the trip.
If you already know your hotel, tell me and I confirm the maximum without you searching the table.

How the T3 tariff works
Transfers from the airport to the south run on the T3 intercity tariff, which is regulated and set by the meter. At night, on Sundays and on public holidays it runs faster, and that is why what you see above is a ceiling covering any hour: it almost always reads less. Neither I nor anyone else can lower that tariff, so there are no discounts for booking ahead or for combining trips.

Questions about the price
Can you give me a fixed price?
- No, and it isn't my choice: taxi fares here are set by law, so a fixed price isn't allowed. It runs on the meter, on the Canary Islands Government's regulated T3 tariff. What I give you is an estimated maximum for your destination, which already covers nights, Sundays and public holidays, and the meter almost always comes in under it. If you've been comparing airport transfers with a fixed price, that's a different kind of service, often paid in advance; with me you pay at the end.
Why does the price change with the time of day?
- At night, on Sundays and on public holidays the meter runs at a higher rate. That is why the figure I publish is a ceiling covering any time band, and not the price of one particular band.
Is there a discount for booking ahead or for a group?
- There are no discounts of any kind, neither for booking ahead nor for combined trips. The meter reads what it reads.
When do I pay?
- When you get to your destination. Card or cash. I do not ask for a deposit or payment in advance.
Do you take me back to the airport as well?
- Not in person, but I arrange it for you. My licence is from Telde and the journey has to start inside that municipality: the airport is in Telde, so I can take you to the south, but not pick you up there to come back. Message me with the day, the time and the hotel, and I pass it on to a fellow taxi driver.
You get the driver himself, not a booking centre.
