No need to channel your inner mime and practice wild, theatrical gestures to get a taxi in Arrecife. Ordering a cab in this welcoming city is as easy as pie – and dare I say, almost as satisfying!

The city comes ready with several taxi companies available at your fingertips. You can make a call, or if you want, there are also apps you can use to order your carriage ride. Services such as Radiotaxi Arrecife and Taxi Lanzarote are just a touch away and they offer 24-hours services.

Longing for familiar names? Fear not my international amigos, as Bolt is on hand to bridge the taxi transit divide. However, keep in mind that, unlike other regions, Uber has yet to grace Arrecife with its presence. So if you’re a loyal Uber customer, you might need to wave that loyalty goodbye, at least for a while.

The best part? You won't need to learn the art of flamenco to express "credit card payment." Most of these services do accept credit card payments, but letting them know beforehand is a neat trick to ensure a smooth journey.

No matter where you are, it's a safe bet you'll spot a taxi cruising by. However, you can usually count on taxi ranks, like the ones found outside the airport, bus stations, shopping centers, and main tourist hotspots.
