Taxi & Transfers from Costa Adeje to Tenerife South Airport (TFS)

How to Get from Costa Adeje to Tenerife South Airport (TFS)

Costa Adeje is one of the most popular resort areas on the southern coast of Tenerife. It’s located about 20 kilometers from Tenerife South Airport (TFS), also known as Reina Sofía Airport. If you need to catch a flight, the trip can take from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the time of day and traffic. You can travel by bus, taxi, or private transfer.

By Bus

The TITSA bus line 40 connects Costa Adeje to the airport. Buses run roughly every 30 minutes from 07:15 to 21:15. The ride takes about 40 minutes.

A ticket costs €3.70, or €2.90 if you use a ten+ travel card. You can buy tickets from the driver or at vending machines at bus stops. This is a good budget option, but might not be ideal if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage.

By Taxi

Taking a taxi is faster. The drive from Costa Adeje to TFS usually takes about 20 minutes. It’s a practical option, especially if you’re heading to the airport early or late in the day.

Expect to pay between €25 and €35. Taxis are easy to find at ranks around town or can be ordered by phone. Fares might increase slightly at night or on holidays, so check with the driver before starting your ride.

Book a Private Transfer

If you’d like a planned and simple ride, book a transfer from Costa Adeje to Tenerife South Airport. We recommend booking a transfer for families or travelers with pets — it’s easier when you have bags, children, or time limits.

Kiwitaxi drivers pick you up at your hotel or apartment at the time you choose. You can select the car size you need, and the price is fixed during booking. That way, you avoid surprises and delays.

• Door-to-door pickup
• No detours or shared rides
• Fixed fare set in advance

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

You can choose between different types of vehicles to match your needs:

• Economy – for one or two people with light bags
• Comfort – more space for families or extra luggage
• Minivan – ideal for groups or sports equipment
• Business – for quieter, more spacious travel

All transfers are private and take you directly to your terminal at the airport.

Traveling with Children

Managing children, luggage, and airport schedules at once can be stressful. Public transport might not always be the easiest choice. That’s why many families go with a transfer.

With Kiwitaxi, you can request child seats and choose a vehicle that fits your group. The driver helps with your bags and takes you straight to the terminal — it’s one less thing to worry about on departure day.

Traveling with Pets

Traveling with a pet? Some buses and taxis don’t allow animals, or they require carriers and paperwork. That adds stress, especially when you’re heading to the airport.

Kiwitaxi offers pet-friendly transfers. Just let them know in advance, and they’ll arrange a car that fits your pet’s needs. You and your companion can ride comfortably together, door to door.
