About this tour
When Ben from our team booked a private transfer from El Salobre to Las Palmas Airport, it was a straightforward way to skip the taxi queue scramble. This is a simple A-to-B run — no sightseeing, no stops, just you and a driver in a Premium car or minivan covering the 40-minute route to LPA. The setup works for solo travellers through to groups of 15, and everything from parking to airport tolls is already sorted. It's the kind of thing you arrange before you leave home so you're not hunting for transport when you're tired and luggage-laden.
Highlights
- Driver meets you at the hotel, no hunting around.
- Parking fees and tolls already included in the price.
- Handles groups up to 15 with appropriate vehicle sizing.
- Child seats available if you're travelling with little ones.
- Driver waits 60 minutes after your landing — genuine buffer.
- No per-group pricing — pay per person, suits smaller parties.
- Premium vehicle option beats cramped shared shuttles.
What to expect
The booking process is straightforward — select your group size, note any kids needing seats, and you're done. On the day, your driver will be waiting at El Salobre to meet you. The drive itself is fairly direct; Ben found the 40 minutes a reasonable estimate for midday traffic, though early mornings or peak times could stretch it. The Premium car is comfortable enough for the journey — not a luxury coach, but cleaner and quieter than a shared minibus.
For the return leg arriving at LPA, the driver will hold position for an hour after your plane lands. It's a practical buffer if baggage reclaim takes longer than expected, though you'll want to contact their assistance centre if you're delayed further. The whole experience is friction-free if your luggage is within standard limits — one suitcase per person keeps things simple.

Good to know
This works best if you're departing on a fixed schedule and want to avoid the hotel taxi rank or shared shuttle waits. Families with young kids appreciate the dedicated car seats, and groups up to four will find it competitive with taxi fares. Everything legal and logistical (tolls, VAT, parking) is bundled in, so no surprise charges at check-in.
Luggage is the catch — you're limited to one standard suitcase per person (46x69x29cm). Oversized bags or extra luggage trigger additional fees, so pack strategically or budget extra. The 40-minute duration is approximate and traffic-dependent; don't book this if you need zero buffer time. The vehicle doesn't include water, snacks, or entertainment, and there's no flexibility for detours or stops.
Child and infant seats are free and must be requested upfront. Arrive at your pickup point on time — the driver won't wait indefinitely. Have your phone charged in case you need to contact the assistance centre post-landing.
