Getting Around

Arrecife Bus (arrecifebus.com) runs several lines from the airport: Line 22 (weekdays) to Arrecife in about 10 minutes, every 40–50 min (05:30–23:00 to the airport); Line 23 covers the same corridor plus Playa Honda on weekends (~15 min, hourly, 07:00–22:00); Line 161 serves Puerto del Carmen, Puerto Calero, Yaiza and Playa Blanca; Line 162 offers late-night service on that same southern corridor; Line 61 adds one late departure (22:30) to Playa Blanca. Check current fares/timetables at arrecifebus.com as they do change.

Official taxi rank outside the terminal. Short hops (e.g. to Arrecife, ~7 minutes) are inexpensive, roughly in the low double-digit euro range; longer runs to Puerto del Carmen or Playa Blanca cost more — confirm the fare or metered rate before setting off, as exact current pricing is best verified on the day.

Uber and Cabify are not available in the Canary Islands generally (the same VTC-licensing restriction affecting Gran Canaria applies archipelago-wide), so don't expect app-based ride-hailing to be an option on Lanzarote.

Very well served — international chains plus strong local competition (notably CICAR, a major Canary Islands-based rental company) operate directly from Terminal 1; renting a car is a popular and often cost-effective way to explore Lanzarote given the limited bus network in some areas.
