Airport pick-up service

There are a number of local and national companies who offer door to door pick-up and drop-off collection services to and from airports. This kind of service takes the hassle out of driving to the airport and saves parking costs, or queuing for taxis. It is however only practical to arrange this to and from your departure airport.

If you fly into a Galician airport like Santiago de Compostela, la Coruna or Vigo, you will find taxi ranks outside the arrivals section.

In Galicia all taxi fares are fixed by the local government based on duration, so if you tell the driver where you are going he will be able to inform you of the cost before your journey is agreed upon. The only problem is language and, whilst some drivers do understand a bit of English, french or German, most do not. However by using a "get by in Spanish" book you should be able to make your destination understood.

All taxis in Galicia are state registered, safe to use, very clean and generally no more than two or three years old. Most are 400 series Peugeots or E class Mercedes Benz.
