Hi

We usually use Travel Republic shuttle transfers to Adeje, which usually costs about £13. I see they are now offering
private Taxi transfer @ £26 return, A taxi from the airport normally costs £26 each way.

Has anybody used this service which is half the normal Taxi price ?

Thanks

Darren

Just done a TFS to Los Cris and return quote for 3-10 Oct 2014, for 1 person and it can back as £58 for a private taxi.

Even the illegal taxis won't do for this price or so I am led to believe !!

Now you do surprise me that there are such things happening in Tenerife, especially with the stringent laws.:nono:

I thought the only options were registered Taxi companies and the bus service, unless of course you have a family member or good friend who is wiling to collect you!:wink:

I just returned this week using the Travel Republic deal all went very well no issues at airport end and picked up on time ( or near enough) at apartment we had a 12 seat mini bus to ourselves we are booked again for 2/1/15. Only thing you have to check pick up time for return with Urbus don't try calling them to confirm this they just never answer I went on website and it was all really simple to confirm well must be if I managed it

I was about to book a private taxi transfer with them and it's now showing £25.06 PER PERSON, total cost £51, for a return which is dearer than a normal taxi.
