Barcelona airport taxi price

Every trip starts with a fixed start fare, then adds a per-kilometre rate. Which rate applies depends on when you travel: T-1 is the weekday daytime rate between 08:00 and 20:00, and T-2 is the higher rate that covers nights, all of Saturday and Sunday, and public holidays. Supplements for the airport, the cruise port, Sants station and Fira Gran Via are added on top, capped at a maximum per service.

Not in the sense of one operator undercutting another — the AMB meter is identical in every licensed taxi, so nobody can legally be cheaper on the fare itself. What you can control is timing and vehicle choice: travelling in the T-1 daytime window costs meaningfully less per kilometre than at night or at weekends, and a shared arrival time for a group of four beats four separate fares. Be wary of anyone advertising a fare well below the meter; it usually signals an unlicensed vehicle.

Journeys starting at El Prat have a minimum fare. If the metered amount for a short hop comes to less than that minimum, the minimum is what you pay. This mainly affects trips to El Prat town or nearby hotels rather than journeys into Barcelona.

You pay one all-inclusive price online when you reserve. It covers the journey on the official AMB tariff, every official supplement that applies to your route, and our service in arranging and guaranteeing the car. There is no second amount to settle: nothing at all is owed in the taxi, and you receive a receipt for the full price by email.
