Your options ranked
(1) Pre-booked private transfer: driver, name-board, fixed price — the stress-free default we arrange on request. (2) Rental car from the terminal: best if you'll drive anyway; the TF-1 motorway + TF-47 coast road is an easy first drive. (3) Licensed taxi rank: fine, marginally dearer than pre-booking. (4) TITSA buses: cheapest, luggage-friendly, one change — allow two hours.
Arrival choreography
Flights land, bags take 20–30 min, the west coast is one sunset-facing drive away. Tell us your flight number: check-in (15:00–20:00) flexes around real arrival times, and we coordinate the meet personally.
- Night arrival? Pre-book transfer — bus frequencies drop late.
- Sit right side of the car from TFS: ocean views the whole coast road.
- Supermarket stop en route beats unpacking hungry — drivers oblige if asked.
