  • Route 3: Airport – Puerto del Rosario – Caleta de Fuste-Las Salinas.
    Buses run pretty frequent, usually every 15-30 minutes, depending on the time of the day. In the late night hours, from 22:00 to midnight, buses run every hour.

Make sure to check the prices and timetable when taking this route.

  • Route 10: Airport – Puerto del Rosario – Morro Jable
    This is not as frequent route as previous one, with only a couple of departures per day, so we recommend checking bus schedule.
  • Route 16: Airport – Puerto del Rosario – Gran Tarajal
    Also pretty infrequent route to the city, so make sure to check the timetable when using this route.

  • NOTE: There are extra supplement fees for taxis starting or ending at the port and at the airport of 1,70€.

Transfer: To be sure that there’ll be a car waiting for you in front of the airport, the best option would be to book a private transfer from Fuerteventura Airport to your accommodation. Make sure to book it in advance so the transfer company has enough time to arrange it and inform you about all relevant information regarding the service.

Renting a car at Fuerteventura Airport: There are several international car rental companies at the airport, such as Sixt, Topcar, Payless, Avis, Hertz and Cicar. However, bear in mind that renting a car might cost you more as some companies may charge an additional fee because you rent at the airport. To avoid this, we recommend booking a car online.
