Rare GeezerCouple Posted March 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Is there a fixed rate for taxis from the airport in Barcelona to hotels downtown (nothing out of the way)? Thanks. We are trying to avoid paying some weird rate by a driver who judges we don't know what we are doing, as foreigners with jet lag GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkto Posted March 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2019 No there is not, however most drivers go with meter on and charge approved rates. Can look at https://www.worldtaximeter.com for approximate estimate. Fixed rate is to port only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs4fun Posted March 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) No fixed rate but your fare should not exceed 35€ if your hotel is located in the city center. Remember, there are supplements for luggage, airport & cruise port. Make sure that your driver uses the meter. Info here: https://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/airport/transport/barcelona-airport-taxis.html Last year, our fare from El Prat to Las Ramblas was 30€ (including our luggage) Edited March 19, 2019 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - unless the situation has recently changed. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47071710 It appears that UberX is now operational in BCN. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-europe-barcelona/uber-re-enters-barcelona-with-professional-driver-service-idUSKCN1GO2V7 Edited July 21, 2019 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do and some don't (you can ask driver before accepting ride). Or - recommend having enough euros to cover the taxi fare. If your taxi does accept credit cards, AMEX is not usually accepted (Visa and MasterCard are accepted). Official Barcelona taxis are black and yellow - they are metered.
