Frequently asked questions
Is there Uber or Cabify in Lanzarote? ＋
No. The island has no private-hire service operating, so the chauffeur apps are not an alternative. The real options are the taxi, the Intercity bus and car hire.
Is a tip obligatory? ＋
No. In Spain a tip is voluntary and is not included in the fare. If you were happy with the service it is customary to round up, but nobody is obliged.
Do Lanzarote taxis take large luggage? ＋
Public service vehicles have a luggage limit per passenger seat. If you are travelling with several large cases or with bicycles, mentioning it when you book avoids a vehicle arriving that cannot take them.
Can I travel with a pet? ＋
Pets may travel in any taxi provided they are in a carrier and do not disturb the other passengers; the vehicles licensed for it also accept animals without a carrier. Saying so when you call is the simplest approach.
