How Your Barcelona Airport Taxi Works
Book, share your flight, meet your driver in arrivals and ride straight to your hotel.
1. Book Online or After Landing
Pre-book your private taxi online before you fly, or call +34 640 723 259 after you land and we can usually arrange one within 1–2 hours.
Note: short-notice availability varies, so we advise booking before you fly.
2. Share Your Flight Number
Send us your flight number when you book. We follow your flight and move the pickup if it's delayed, at no charge.
3. Meet Your Driver at Arrivals
Your driver meets you in the arrivals area at T1 or T2. If you'd rather meet somewhere else at the airport, tell us and your driver will be there.
4. Straight to Your Hotel
Your private car takes you straight to your hotel, with no shared shuttle stops on the way. All our Barcelona taxi transfers use licensed local drivers with over 10 years' experience.
Hotel to Barcelona Airport Taxi
We pick you up from any hotel or address in Barcelona and drop you at T1 or T2. Your pickup is timed around your flight, at the same prices as arrivals.
Plan Your Pickup Time
For a European (Schengen) flight, book your hotel pickup about 2 hours 30 minutes before departure. For a UK or US flight, make it 3 hours 30 minutes. That covers the 20–25 minute drive and Aena's advice to arrive 2 or 3 hours before departure. Pickups for early-morning flights cost the same as at any other time.
Travelling With Family or Lots of Luggage?
Count every passenger, including babies and children, and declare every suitcase when you book. Infant seats, child seats and boosters cost €5 each per journey, up to 3 per vehicle. Larger groups and heavy luggage go in a Mercedes Vito minivan. It seats up to 8 and holds up to 13 pieces of luggage, or 16 if some are small suitcases.
If you're joining a cruise after landing, you can also book a Barcelona cruise port to airport transfer straight to your terminal.
