César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, also known as Lanzarote Airport and Arrecife Airport, is the airport serving the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
The local bus (line 22) stops right outside the Arrivals Hall, and the journey to Arrecife takes around 15 minutes. It runs from 6:55 am to 10:40 pm Monday to Friday, every 25 minutes.
Taxis and car rental companies, like Avis and Europcar, are represented at the airport. It is strongly suggested to avoid taxis from points other than the official taxi rank.
At the moment, there aren’t Uber or any rideshare services available at Lanzarote Airport.
