Barcelona Car Service?

[akswartz85]

Can anyone recommend a car service from BCN to the Las Ramblas area?

 

Thanks in advance!

Unless you are a large group it is very easy to simply grab a taxi from the airport (about 30 Euros). There is a taxi queue right as you exit the airport and there is always an airport employee there to make sure everything flows well. Just make sure they run the meter.

Thanks, we are looking for a car service. It's for my parents - they are coming in late at night, first time to Spain, and feel more comfortable with a car service.

Barcelona Day Tours. But ask for an English speaking driver. We had transfer drivers who could not speak English but knew exactly where to take us so there was no problem.

 

Our driver on our 4 hr tour was excellent and spoke English well.

We used www.carsdeluxe.es and were very satisfied.

We are arriving in Barcelona in the late afternoon during the Festival in Sept. We're looking for "car service" suggestions. We don't wish to be stuck in a taxi with the meter running in the crowded streets after a very long flight. :eek:

 

Thank You in advance for any "recent info" you can share with us concerning a "good car service" in Barcelona with English speaking drivers.

We have used BCN travel for transfers. It is more expensive than a taxi but the driver is waiting for you at arrivals in the airport which for me, who cannot walk far or stand too long, is worth it.

We used Barcelona Day Tours for a party of six from the cruise terminal to airport. Cost 79E for all.

For two persons, a taxi is recommended.

How does the price of a car service compare to a cab? (For two people, not six.)

A cab from the airport to Las Ramblas area will cost 30-35Euros.

Yes I know. What would a pre-arranged driver cost?

[English_in_Spain]

We paid €59 from the airport to the port and the same for the return.

 

This was for up to 4 people.

Since we had six persons they had to use a van, I don't know what the price would have been for a smaller vehicle. You can ask. They have a website.

We just used bcn for a "car service" today and it was awful! Instead of a professional car service we got a dirty taxicab and a rude driver who spent the entire ride on his cell phone using the speaker phone feature so we had to listen to both sides of his conversation with his girlfriend the entire ride! Such a waste of money, if I wanted a dirty taxicab I wouldn't have hired a car service!

would you recommend a car service for 4 people or would a taxi be more efficient to get near the las ramblas area?
