Barcelona Airport transfers by Taxy
By Taxi is without doubt the fastest way to leave Barcelona Airport but not necessarily the fastest way to get to your destination. Barcelona, is a big modern city and has so much traffic that sometimes it can drive you nuts.
As you walk out of the main entrance of any of the terminals, there is always a long queue of taxis waiting to take you to your final destination.
The tariff differs between day and night, weekdays, weekends or Bank Holidays.
See detailed tariff list below;
There are taxis 24/7 all year long and they'll always have change of a 20 note (this is your right as a customer) but any bigger note than that, could cause you problems when paying, especially late at night.
You also have other rights such as choosing the route you prefer, a clean vehicle and driver, the choice of sound level (audio inside the taxi), the temperature level and a legal receipt (showing the date, license number, number plate, IVA identity number, which is the VAT or TAX number for those claiming expenses, plus the amount paid).
The Taxi meter should be in a visible position and it should start at the beginning of the journey and stop as soon as you reach your destination, if the meter is not on you are not obliged to pay the minimum fare unless otherwise agreed before hand.
Eating, drinking and smoking are forbidden (note that smoking became illegal in any enclosed public place in Spain, in January 2006)
Taxi drivers have been obliged to accept guide dogs for blind people since 1993 by law.
