You can
get some very competitive prices on car hire in Spain because
there are so many companies and competition is fierce. To
give you some indication of costs: a Peugeot 206 or similar
hired for seven days during the last week in September (Saturday
to Saturday) will cost in the region of 120GBP (quotation
includes collision damage waiver, theft protection, third
party liability, VAT, unlimited mileage and airport fees).
The minimum age for driving in Spain (provided you hold a
full UK license) is 18 for a car and a motorcycle over 75cc.
If you have still got the old style green license you might
find the police do not recognize them, so it is advisable
to either get it updated or carry an International Driving
Permit as well.
TAXIS:
You will
find the taxi rank right in front of you as you come out of
the main arrivals area from the airport terminal building,
just after you have collected your cases. The Fare to Caleta
should be between €10 - €14 depending on time of
day.
PLEASE NOTE: The taxis can usually only carry up to 4 people
and luggage.
BUSES:
When you
come out of the Arrivals Hall the bus stop is to the left
of the building. There are two main bus routes: the number
3 runs every 30 minutes from Puerto del Rosario to Caleta
de Fuste via the airport: and the number 10 is hourly and
again operates from Puerto del Rosario to the airport then
to Caleta de Fuste and on to Morro Jable.
Exact times and fares can be obtained at www.tiadhe.com
(telephone: 0034 928 852 1666).
MEET & GREET SERVICE:
If you would prefer to be met at the airport, we can have
someone from our management team meet you at arrivals and
take you straight to the property. The vehicle provided can
take 5 passengers and luggage and you will be taken directly
to the property where you will be given the keys and shown
around. This service is avaliable for €20 and is avaliable
if booked in advance.
