Ok Grenoble airport is not the best in the world but there are things you might want to know and be prepared for.
When arriving in Grenoble and before you exit the aircraft, just think about how many passengers have left before you, the reason being you might think twice and use the onboard toilet as you could be queuing a long time to pass through immigration, another top tip is to keep your hat and gloves handy as the queues could extend outside.
Check the baggage reclaim screens for your carousel but also watch others as sometimes baggage can suddenly appear on a different belt altogether!
When the time comes to travel home from Grenoble, remember the airport is only small, it can sometimes be as hectic as the underground so be prepared and expect long queues and possibly delays - one thing to note is to give yourself plenty of time for your transfer to arrive well within the 2hr checkin time, in fact, make it 3 hours to be sure.
It can take up to 40 mins to reach the checkin desk, another 30-40mins to go through security, when you have passed all this you will probably enter a crowded departure lounge with limited facilities, shops and bars.
Preparation here is the key
This is the best holiday taxi company ever!!! Fabulous prices, great communication, extremely reliable with kind and courteous drivers that are there to meet and greet on arrival! We have used them lots of times and will continue to do so!!! Thank you cheap taxis.
Booked for the first time for a transfer from Tenerife Airport to our apartment
Our driver was waiting for us once we had collected our luggage.
We were taken straight to our taxi which was a small mini bus very clean & tidy & dropped off outside our apartment.
As instructed I contacted them the day before our return journey & asked if they could pick us up at a different entrance to our apartment & they actually sent a picture to check the exact location.
On the pick up day the taxi was already waiting for us .
I would definitely use Cheap Taxis again excellent service.
I’ve recently returned from a few nights away in Fuerteventura and used Cheap Taxis for our transfer from the airport to El Cotillo. Both the journey there and back were excellent. A large mini bus for the 4 of us and very friendly and careful drivers on both trips. I’d emailed before and while away to check everything was OK and it couldn’t have gone smoother. On our return journey, leaving at 7am, the driver was there ready at 6.45am so plenty of time to load up and get to the airport.
Highly recommend using this company and will certainly book up again on my next visit. Thank you.
Exceptional service!! From start to finish, never had a transfer so smooth. I will never use another company again. Also Paul is outstanding replies within minutes an keeps you updated every step of the way. Would highly recommend!!

This is the first time using Cheap Taxis and it won’t be the last. From our first enquiry about the service with Paul we felt confident booking.
The driver was waiting for us as we came out of baggage reclaim, he took us to the mini bus which was clean and comfortable. On the return journey we asked to change our pick up time and this was done straight away for us, the driver was spot on time for pick up. They even followed this up when we got home checking everything went well with our pick up.
We are confident you will be 100% satisfied with our transfer services
