Private Transfers from Tenerife South (TFS) to Los Cristianos

Glide from runway to resort without queues or guesswork. Our private transfers from Tenerife South (Reina Sofía) Airport deliver you to Los Cristianos quickly and comfortably, with a friendly meet & greet, fixed fares, and vehicles matched to your party size. Whether you’re landing late, travelling with kids, or hauling sports gear, you’ll step into holiday mode the moment you clear arrivals.

Why book a private transfer instead of a taxi rank or bus?

  • Meet & Greet at Arrivals – your driver waits with your name board and helps with luggage.
  • Flight tracking included – we adjust pick‑up if your flight is early or delayed.
  • Door‑to‑door convenience – straight to your hotel, apartment or villa in Los Cristianos.
  • Fixed, transparent pricing – no meter, no surge, no surprises.
  • Cars, MPVs & minibuses – from solo travellers to large family groups.
  • Child & booster seats – provided free on request, fitted before you arrive.
  • 24/7 service – perfect for red‑eyes and late arrivals.

Distance, route & typical journey time

Los Cristianos sits on Tenerife’s sunny south‑west coast, around 16–18 km from Tenerife South Airport. A private transfer usually takes about 20 minutes, traffic permitting, via the TF‑1 motorway. The short distance and motorway access make private transfers the fastest and most comfortable way to arrive after a long flight.

Prefer public transport? Local buses operated by TITSA serve the corridor with frequent services along the TF‑1. Check official timetables and routes here: TITSA lines & timetables. For airport guidance, see AENA Tenerife South Airport.

Pick the right vehicle for your group

  • Private Car (1–3 passengers) – air‑conditioned comfort with boot space for standard luggage.
  • People Carrier / MPV (1–6 passengers) – extra room for families, prams or golf bags.
  • Minivan (1–8 passengers) – ideal for larger families or friends travelling together.
  • Minibus (up to 16–17 passengers) – smart value for wedding parties, golfing groups or team trips.
  • Accessible vehicle on request – let us know your mobility needs and we’ll arrange a suitable vehicle and ramp/space where available.

Travelling with bulky items? Mention buggies, wheelchairs, surfboards, golf clubs or bike boxes during booking so we allocate the perfect vehicle first time.

How pricing works (and how to keep it low)

Private transfer fares are fixed per vehicle, not per person, and vary by size and season. For most parties, a pre‑booked MPV or minibus is usually better value than two taxis. You’ll see the final price before you pay, and it already includes meet & greet, luggage handling and motorway tolls where applicable.

  • Tip 1: Book return at the same time for the best overall rate and a guaranteed pick‑up slot.
  • Tip 2: Share a larger vehicle to reduce the cost per person.
  • Tip 3: Add child seats during checkout to avoid last‑minute fees elsewhere.

What to expect at the airport

After baggage reclaim, head to the arrivals hall. Your driver will be standing in a clearly marked meeting area with your name board. If your flight is delayed, don’t worry—we track all flights in real time and adjust automatically. From there, you’ll walk a short distance to your parked vehicle and set off for Los Cristianos.

Los Cristianos at a glance

Once a sleepy fishing village, Los Cristianos is now one of Tenerife’s most liveable resorts: a long, sheltered bay, a palm‑lined promenade, and an easygoing pace built around cafés, tapas, and water activities. It’s flat and walkable, making it a favourite with families, couples and travellers with reduced mobility.

Things to do near your hotel

  • Playa de Los Cristianos & Las Vistas – two broad, golden beaches ideal for safe swimming and paddleboarding. See local visitor info via Arona Town Council.
  • Harbour & boat trips – join dolphin/whale‑watching cruises or take inter‑island ferries to La Gomera with Fred. Olsen Express or Naviera Armas.
  • Siam Park – Europe’s headline water park is a short hop away in Costa Adeje: Siam Park official site.
  • Mount Teide National Park – ride the cable car into the high volcanic landscape for panoramic views: Teide Cable Car.
  • Shopping & tapas – stroll the promenade for seaside terraces, sunset cocktails and local seafood.

Family‑friendly, cyclist‑friendly, stress‑free

Families: request infant and child seats free of charge; we can also install a second booster for siblings. Cyclists: book a vehicle that accepts bike boxes; tell us your dimensions in advance. Golfers: MPVs and minibuses swallow clubs with room to spare. Mobility needs: ground‑level boarding and accessible vehicles can be arranged with notice.

Public transport: useful if you’re travelling light

Budget-minded travellers can use the green TITSA buses. Services on the TF‑1 corridor (e.g., daytime and night lines) connect the airport with the south coast, including interchanges at Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje. For the latest timetables, fares, and contactless payment guidance, see TITSA.

When to visit & how to pack

Tenerife enjoys a year‑round spring. Expect the hottest weather from July to September; December to March is popular for warm winter sun. Evenings can be breezy—pack a light layer. Sun protection is essential all year, and water shoes help on rocky coves and lava shelves.

How to book your transfer in under two minutes

  1. Enter arrival time, flight number, party size and your Los Cristianos address.
  2. Choose your vehicle type and add extras (child seats, return pick‑up, bike box space).
  3. Confirm with card or wallet—instant booking confirmation by email/SMS.
  4. Meet your driver at arrivals and enjoy a 20‑minute coastal run to the resort.

JOANNES VAN KASTEREN

Initially I was worried about landing with my family and the car not turning up, then the flight was delayed by over an hour and that added more worry. Whilst I was still waiting to board I received a text message from the taxi company saying that the flight was delayed, they were tracking it, and not to worry. When I landed I received a text message with the driver contact details, his arrival time and his photo!! When we came through he was standing there with our name on a smart looking tablet! He was great, he ran us around during our stay a few times and we had him again when it was time to leave.

Michelle Not worried anymore!

Booked my transfer with ridetransferdirect.com and the process couldn’t have been easier, one thing that surprised me was that I could track the vehicle in real time from the SMS message they sent me when the car was dispatched, impressive!

Steve Happy Customer!
