Take a Taxi Over Uber is part of the Still The Best Trip Report.
Can you believe that hailing a taxi off the street is a better way to get around Tenerife than Uber? A taxi from the airport to the Ritz Carlton was 50 euros (see Ritz Carlton Tenerife: We’ll Make It Better, The Second Time Around). A taxi from the Ritz to Playa de las Americas was 32 euros (see Playa de Las Americas, Tenerife: Well That Sucked). That rate was more than double with Uber. This aberration will not have me second-guessing rideshares over taxis. I have been screwed enough times to believe they’ve grown an international conscience (see “Taxi my friend?” The Worst Places to Hail a Cab). But, if you happen to be in Tenerife, I suggest comparing prices before automatically opting for Uber.
