Gran Canaria Taxis
Having your own wheels is always the best way to explore any place, but just in case you're not in the mood to drive you can always search for a taxi. Just look for eggshell-white cars with a red stripe on each front door. Other signs that might help you recognize a taxi are the letters SP (meaning Servicio Público) and a green light on top or in the front windscreen (this green light indicates that the taxi is free).
Local journeys are metered and charges are usually located around € 0,40/km. If you are travelling outside municipal boundaries make a point of arranging a fixed fare in advance. From the airport to Las Palmas the fare is around € 20,00. In the south side of the island, where taxis belong to a local co-operative it is also a good, inexpensive way to travel.
