How much does a taxi from MAD cost?

A private transfer from Madrid Barajas Airport to Centro costs €87 for the whole car — a fixed price confirmed at booking, covering the 15 km drive of roughly 30 minutes for up to three passengers. Larger vehicles are priced per class in the table above, so a family of six pays one van fare rather than two taxi fares.

Airport taxi ranks at MAD price by meter or by local zone, so the amount you pay depends on traffic, time of day, luggage surcharges and — where meters are not used — on the fare you negotiate at the kerb. Late-night arrivals are usually the most expensive moment to bargain. Our price is the same figure at 03:00 as at midday, quoted before you travel and paid by card, PayPal or cash to the driver.

What the fare includes: a named chauffeur waiting in arrivals with a name board, flight tracking so a delayed landing costs nothing, free waiting time, all tolls and parking, child seats on request, and free cancellation. There is no extra charge for luggage, for a second stop agreed in advance, or for paying in a different currency.

Where the driver meets you at MAD

Madrid Barajas Airport operates T1, T2, T3, T4 and T4S. Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall, at the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a board with your name — you never have to find a rank or a car park.

The evening before travel you receive your driver's name, photo and phone number by email and WhatsApp, so you can message them the moment you land. If you clear customs early, they are already there; if you are held up, the waiting time is free.

MAD airport car service — Terminal 1 to Terminal 4

A MAD airport car service is a private chauffeur booked before you fly, not a taxi rank or a metered ride. Madrid-Barajas runs T1, T2, T3, T4 and the satellite T4S, and they are far apart — T4 is a shuttle bus ride from T1 — so the terminal matters. We read it from your flight number and send the driver to that arrivals hall, where they wait at the exit from baggage reclaim with a board showing your name.

A MAD Terminal 1 car service meets most non-Schengen and low-cost arrivals; Iberia and its partners land at T4 or T4S, where the driver waits after the T4S transit train brings you across. Either way the meeting point is inside the building, so you never look for a car park.

From Madrid Barajas Airport to Centro the fare is €87 for the whole car, roughly 30 minutes into the city, fixed at booking. Tolls, parking, luggage, child seats and 60 minutes of free waiting after landing are all included, and you can pay by card, PayPal or cash to the driver.

What happens if my flight to Madrid is delayed?

Nothing changes and nothing costs extra. We track your flight number automatically, so the pickup time moves with the aircraft, whether that is twenty minutes or five hours. You do not need to call us or rebook.

Sixty minutes of waiting after landing is included as standard, which covers passport control and baggage on a normal arrival. Cancellations are free, so a missed connection is never a lost fare.
