Where to get a taxi at Tenerife South Airport?

The Tenerife South Airport taxi stand is conveniently located directly outside of the Arrivals Hall main exit. Leave the terminal building from the exit nearest to the currency exchange desk. You’ll see the line of taxis by the curbside. There are signs to the taxi stand from inside the airport terminal building to guide you.

You can find taxis here between 06:00 and 23:00 every day which aligns with the airport’s opening hours. Generally, you’ll only need to wait around ten minutes for an available taxi, unless you require a special vehicle such as a 7-seater van or a wheelchair-accessible vehicle—these vehicles can take longer to arrive. That said, during peak travel season between May and September, the wait for taxis can rise to up to 20 minutes.
