.The majority of passengers have booked their holiday as a package and can expect to be taken to their destination by one of the many transfer coaches available from the coach station right outside the arrivals hall. This is ideal as all you need to do is hop on your coach and be driven to your holiday location. However, don't despair if you haven't got a coach included within your holiday plans as you will still find it's easy to get around Gran Canaria from the airport by using public transport, taxis or by hiring a car.
Bus
There is a great public bus service, which is very useful if you are heading to the top destinations of Las Palmas, Playa del Ingles or Maspalomas. Look for Bus 60 if you are heading to Las Palmas, Parque de San Catalina and Parque de Dan Telmo and look out for Bus 66 if you are heading for Faro de Maspalomas. Buses usually leave every 20 minutes and only cost a few Euros.
Taxis & Car Hire
Hire a reliable metered taxi from just outside the airport, or why not hire a car so you can explore the island under your own steam? There are several car hire companies, including Avis, Hertz, Europcar, Record and Euto Reisen.
Driving
Gran Canaria Airport is easy to get to if you are driving, as it is located on the main road on the island, named GC1, with the exit that leads to the airport clearly signposted.
