Transfers in Tenerife

• ¿What happens when I make a request?

When you have filled in your request, the data will be sent securely to our reservations department. Based on the information you have sent, our reservations department, will send you, in turn, a quote best suited to your needs. It is of the upmost importance that your request has all the correct details, as we cannot be held responsible for any errors derived from incorrect information contained within your request. It is your responsibility to check all information once the booking has been confirmed and to inform us accordingly if you find any error therein.

• What does the price include?

The price of a transfer includes a one way trip to the chosen destination. A return transfer includes a trip to the destination on arrival and the return trip from the chosen destination. Our shared shuttle services have a price per passenger, the private transfers have a price per vehicle.

Please take into account that the price does not include a tip, this is discretionary.

Baby seats (where available), excess baggage, sports baggage, etc. may incur in additional charges. See the following sections for more information to this regard.

• Reservations with babies and children.

All babies from (0-2 years) and children (3-11 years) must be included in the request so that the appropriate vehicle and space required is taken in account.

The laws pertaining to baby and child seats vary between countries, however all our suppliers will abide by current laws and regulations applicable in each country. If you book a private transfer, we recommend a baby seat or booster seat for children under the age of twelve or with a height of less than 135cm for security reasons.

We can guarantee baby seats & booster seats, pre-booked, in the majority of destinations, please indicate clearly your requirements to this regard in the request and we will include, if available, in your final booking confirmation.

If you want to bring your own baby or booster seat, and you are requesting a private transfer, we must be advised of this information before the trip. This is to ensure that the vehicle provided by the supplier can accommodate the seat. If you take your own seat, it is your responsibility to place the seat in the vehicle, and it is not the responsibility of the provider.

Shuttle services are generally provided with minibuses or buses, and in these vehicles it is not possible to use a child seat since the vehicles do not have compatible seats.

• How do I find my transport?

Instructions for finding your arrival transport vary from country to country. Clear instructions are printed on the reservation notification, which is generated electronically at the time of booking. Be sure to travel with the reservation notification, as this is critical for you to meet with the representative or the driver of the provider. Canarias.com cannot be held responsible for any failed transfer as a result of not having the reservation notification with you.

If, for any reason, you cannot locate the provider's representative or driver, call the provider's phone number listed on your reservation notification.

Please note that you do not have to call to confirm your arrival at the airport. You should only call before departure of your flight to inform us of any delays that may affect your transfer. It is, however, essential to call to confirm your return trip at least 24 hours before departure.

• And the return trip

The booking procedure will automatically calculate the approximate time for your pickup for your return trip. The system will calculate the trip, plus 2.5 hours to allow sufficient time for check-in.

Be sure to verify the instructions in your booking notification thoroughly to be sure of the requirements regarding your return trip, as this may vary from destination to destination.

If you are going to take a shared shuttle transfer, your pickup time may change from that indicated on your voucher. This is because shared services have multiple pick up points. It is absolutely vital that you call the provider during office hours at least 24 hours before departure so that you are given an accurate collection time.

The supplier reserves the right to change the pickup time according to local schedules. The supplier cannot be held responsible for failed collections as a result of customers not traveling with their reservation notification. This booking notification contains relevant information to enable you to call and confirm your reservation.

The limit per person, for all types of vehicles, is a standard suitcase (approximately 70cm high, 47cm wide and 21cm deep), as well as a small piece of hand luggage. Keep in mind that your hand luggage will be transported in the vehicle with you, so this must be of a reasonable size. .

If you travel with excess baggage, such as large suitcases, golf clubs, wheelchairs, skis, children's cars, etc., it is imperative that you let us know at the time of your request, as extra charges may apply. Failure to notify us may result in extra transport being required to accommodate excess baggage, which will incur in additional local charges.
