Daytrip is a private car service platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
Daytrip offers private door-to-door transfers with optional sightseeing stops, hourly driver hire, and curated day trips — all with local English-speaking drivers and operating across 130+ countries. You can also book on our Daytrip app, which is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
The cancellation policy may vary depending on your trip. The cancellation conditions available for your booking will always be shown before confirming your trip. Depending on eligibility, Daytrip offers different cancellation options:

Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Yes. Playa de Las Teresitas is only about 8 km (5 miles) from the center of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a short drive along the northern coastal road. Because Daytrip transfers are private and point-to-point, you can request this as part of your route at booking. Your driver will bring you directly to the beach and, if you have arranged a pickup, collect you when you are ready to continue. There are no shared schedules or minimum group sizes to worry about.
A rental car gives you flexibility but places the entire burden of navigation, parking, and island road conditions on you. Santa Cruz de Tenerife in particular has a busy city center where parking is limited and one-way streets can be disorienting for first-time visitors. A Daytrip private transfer handles the logistics entirely: a professional local driver meets you at your pickup point, manages the route, and drops you at the door of your destination. For travelers who want to see more of the island without the stress of driving unfamiliar roads, it is often the more practical and more relaxing choice.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife sits in the northeast of the island, roughly 75 km (47 miles) from popular southern resort areas like Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos. The drive typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours depending on traffic and your chosen route. From Puerto de la Cruz in the north, the distance is much shorter — approximately 35 km (22 miles) and around 30 to 45 minutes. A private transfer covers both directions on a fixed schedule that works around you, with no stops you did not ask for.
It is well positioned for the northern half of Tenerife. From the city, Teide National Park is accessible in roughly an hour, making a day trip to the volcano feasible without an early start from the southern resorts. La Laguna, a UNESCO-listed historic town, is only about 10 km (6 miles) away — close enough to visit in a few hours. Daytrip can arrange transfers from Santa Cruz to any of these destinations, with the option to add sightseeing stops along the way so the journey itself contributes to the experience rather than subtracting from your available time.
The city has more depth than a quick port visit suggests. Parque García Sanabria is one of the largest urban parks in the Canary Islands and a genuinely pleasant place to slow down. The Museo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre holds a significant collection of Guanche artifacts — the indigenous people of Tenerife — making it worthwhile for travelers with an interest in island history. The city also has a strong local shopping and dining scene centered around Calle del Castillo and the surrounding streets, distinct in character from the resort-oriented options found elsewhere on the island.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is one of those rare port capitals that rewards an unhurried visit. The city's waterfront promenade flows naturally into a compact historic center where the Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África offers a vivid introduction to Canarian food culture. The Auditorio de Tenerife — a dramatic wave-shaped concert hall overlooking the Atlantic — is genuinely striking even from the outside. With a private Daytrip transfer, your driver can build in time to explore these landmarks on your way between destinations rather than treating the city as a place you simply pass through.
