Official Madrid Airport Taxi Details

Madrid Airport Taxi

Madrid Airport taxi photo

Official Madrid Airport taxi stands are located outside the ground floor at all terminals. In terminals 2 and 3 the stands are located close to the baggage claims. Barajas Madrid Airport taxi companies include:


  • Radio Telefono Taxi
  • Taxiflot

 

Barajas Madrid Airport transfer time to central Madrid is 25 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic, which may be heavy. Upon starting the journey, passengers should check that the taxi driver has set the meter. Upon arriving at your destination, passengers may ask for a receipt. Note that passengers should take a taxi from a stand rather than from unofficial drivers offering taxis inside the terminal.




 Unofficial Madrid Airport Taxi Service or Hire Points

 

Madrid Airport taxi touts or unofficial taxis who approach you in tourist areas or around the airport are often unlicensed drivers looking for soft tourist targets who they can overcharge. If you know where you are going, or have a map to hand, make sure that you specify which route you wish to take or you might find the driver deliberately takes you around the houses to hike up the fair.


Official taxis are white with a red diagonal stripe across the door, and the meter should be clearly visible. Taxis that are available have a green light on.


 
IHateTaxis.com does not recommend the unofficial Madrid Airport taxi service.
