Barcelona Airport taxi and transfers

Our price is quoted live on this page and fixed once you book. From the rank it is metered. On a working weekday between 08.00 and 20.00 that is tariff T-1: 2,80 euros to start, 1,35 euros a kilometre and a 4,60 euro airport supplement. At night, on Saturdays and on public holidays tariff T-2 applies, at the same start but 1,66 euros a kilometre. Whatever the arithmetic comes to, a journey beginning at the airport cannot be charged below 21,00 euros including supplements. The meter is for the whole car, so for up to four people going into the centre by day it usually comes to less than our price. These are the 2026 figures: IMET approved them on 18 December 2025 with a weighted average rise of 2,3 per cent, which is what took the airport supplement up by ten cents.

Yes, several. Aena puts ranks opposite the arrivals areas of T1, of the Barcelona-Madrid shuttle and of T2A, T2B and T2C, and at T1 the official service is on the Ground Floor. Aena also says the only official taxi in Barcelona is black and yellow, which is worth remembering if somebody approaches you inside the hall. You cannot pre-book a rank car: you queue with everyone off your flight and the flights either side of it.

Yes, the R2 Nord line, and it is the option most people overlook. Aena lists it as the airport's only railway, running to Maçanet-Massanes from a single stop at Terminal T2, Floor 0. The ATM says it connects with Barcelona Sants, Passeig de Gràcia and El Clot-Aragó, departs roughly every 30 minutes from 6 am to midnight, and is part of the integrated fare network, so every integrated pass is valid on it. Land at T1 and you have to take the free inter-terminal service across first.

TMB gives 32 minutes from the airport to the city centre on line L9 Sud, with a train every 7 minutes and stations at both T1 and T2. The catch is that L9 Sud does not reach the centre itself: you change at Can Tries or Gornal for L10 Sud, at Torrassa for L1, at Collblanc for L5 or at Zona Universitària for L3, and that change with cases is the part the journey time does not describe.

Not on the metro. The ATM states that T-casual, T-familiar and T-grup are not valid for entering or leaving the L9 Sud stations at the airport. What is valid there is the T-usual, T-jove, T-dia and T-70/90, or the separate Airport ticket, which TMB prices at 5,90 euros for 2026 and sells only for the metro. On the railway and the integrated buses every integrated pass works normally.

Aerobús charges 7,75 euros for a single and 13,30 euros for a return, and children under four go free. Tickets are valid for 90 days from purchase, with the return leg good for a further 90 days from the date you travel out. Aena lists the A1 as the Terminal T1 line and the A2 as the Terminal T2 line, both running to Plaça Catalunya. The operator publishes its frequencies for the A1 only: stops at Plaça Espanya, Gran Via-Borrell and Plaça Universitat, and a service 24 hours a day, every 5 minutes from 07.15 to 22.30, every 10 minutes either side of that and every 20 minutes from 01.05 to 05.35.

Yes to both, and for one or two people a seat will cost less than any car. Aena lists Empresa Plana for the run down to Torredembarra, Tarragona, La Pineda, Port Aventura, Salou, Cambrils and Reus, and Sarfa for the Costa Brava, naming Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar, Platja d'Aro, Palamós and Roses. The stops and ticket desks are at Terminal T1, Floor 0, Arrivals, with a further ticket point for Sarfa and Sagalés Airport Line at Terminal T2B, Technical Block. What a seat cannot do is leave when you do or set you down at your door, and both towns are outside the Barcelona metropolitan area, so a rank car to either is priced on the Generalitat's scale rather than the city's.

On Aena's free inter-terminal service, which runs 24 hours a day every day including public holidays. Aena gives it as every 5 minutes from 08.00 to 20.00, every 7 minutes from 05.00 to 08.00 and from 20.00 to midnight, and every 10 minutes from midnight to 05.00. Allow for it: the terminals are on opposite sides of the airfield and the railway station is at T2 only.

Uber, Cabify and Bolt are all listed by Aena, and each has its own pick-up point rather than the rank. Uber's are Terminal T1 Floor 2 and Floor 0 and the Express car parks at T2A and T2B on Floor 0. Cabify uses Floor 0 at T1 and at T2A, T2B and T2C. Bolt uses Floor 0 at T1 and the Express car park at T2 arrivals. None of them collects from the taxi ranks outside arrivals.

At the airport's designated pick-up point. Aena publishes a single meeting point for pre-booked chauffeur-driven cars, in the T1 car park on Floor -1, and your driver will confirm on the phone whether that is where they are waiting. Ring them as soon as you are on the ground, on the number in your supplier details email. Express pick-up of that kind is included in what you paid; being met inside the hall with a name board is meet and greet, a paid extra you add at checkout.

It is the one journey here with a fixed official fare. IMET's tariff T-4 sets 46 euros between the airport and the Moll Adossat cruise terminal in either direction, supplements included, so no meter should be running. That fare is for the whole car, so compare it with our quote before you book: what booking with us adds is a car arranged before you fly instead of a place in the rank queue.

Cancel more than 24 hours before pick-up and you pay nothing; inside 24 hours the booking is charged in full. Payment is online by card when you book, for the whole vehicle rather than per seat, and the amount you see is the amount taken. A saloon takes up to 3 passengers and 3 standard suitcases, an estate 4 passengers and 3 suitcases, and a people carrier 5 passengers and 4 suitcases. The passenger and luggage capacity of each class is shown next to its price before you book. Child seats are available on request.

At least 24 hours before your pick-up. We can't take bookings at shorter notice here. If you have just landed and need a car now, the airport taxi rank is the quickest option.
