What do Penelope Cruz, Princess Alexia of Greece, and Katie Downes have in common? All of them travelled and stayed in Lanzarote, and all probably used a personal airport transfer to their villas when they vacationed in Lanzarote.

For the remainder of us there are plenty of convenient choices for Lanzarote airport transport - including private airport transfers. So what is an airport transport anyway? An airport transfer is typically reserved as part of your standard bookings for air and resort while you can certainly only catch a cab, and the transport is charged in a flat rate.

You can find two kinds of transports - private and shared, and each has its advantages. Regardless of the kind you use, you will have one less thing to concern yourself with because your transport to your villa or hotel when you arrive and to the airport when you leave are booked.

Folks that use a wheelchair can also use Lanzarote airport transfers - some suppliers offer vehicles with lifts and ramps to help folks using a wheelchair. Please advise of your needs when booking to make sure the proper vehicle can be acquired when you arrive.

Individuals travelling with kids that require baby seats should Airport Transfers guide their representative at that period of booking. When you arrive guide your travel agent at that time of your booking to make sure availability of the baby seat.

Shared transports would be the least expensive. Resorts usually offer a per person rate being used by airport transfer services that are shared. The vehicle could be a 15 passenger mini-bus that fits passengers with their bags - one piece of carry-on luggage and one suitcase. Large sports equipment like a surf-board bicycle or is considered excessive baggage and may be carried on the vehicle for an additional fee. Shared airport transfers tend not to service destinations in non- tourist areas or private properties.

You may have to attend in the bus in the airport for passengers from other flights, or may have to wait up to 45 minutes for your own shared transfer bus. Travel times vary based on how many drop-off points. Some resorts have more than one location so that your bus may drop off passengers at points across the way to your own destination.

Private airport transfers provide the most flexibility. Transport vehicles that are private can be a vehicle or mini-bus, according to the number of individuals travelling. Private transfer vehicles are for your exclusive use during your journey to or in the airport, so you will not drop off other passengers along the way. Private transfer services leave when you are ready, so there is minimal waiting. Private transfer service includes bag handling and there are really no restrictions on the quantity or size of bag you take - simply guide your broker at that time of booking to ensure the right kind of vehicle is available for you. Private airport transport service services any point that's reachable by road - without the limitations imposed by shared airport transfers.
