Reliability

What we guarantee, exactly

No adjectives: what happens in each case. If any of this is not met, what you are owed is in writing.

The price does not change afterwards
You see the full amount before you confirm, with every surcharge or supplement on its own line, and it is fixed when you confirm: it does not change afterwards. It only varies if you alter the route, add stops or there is a long wait, and you are told before that happens.
Confirmed on the spot
If a car is free for your time, the booking is confirmed instantly with its tracking code. If it is not, we tell you straight away and offer the nearest time: we do not leave you waiting for an answer.
We assign the car that arrives soonest
You do not pick a driver or wait for someone to accept: the trip goes to the soonest available licensed car for your time and area. And you are not left with an anonymous stranger: before pickup you have the plate, the model and the driver's name, and while the car is on its way you can follow it on the map and call.
We wait at no charge
15 complimentary minutes at airports and stations, and 5 at an address. The clock starts when the car reaches the pickup point, not at the booked time: if the driver is late, you do not pay for those minutes.
To the airport, by the toll road if needed
For airport destinations, if traffic calls for it, the route along the radial toll motorways is included at no cost provided there are at least 3 hours between pickup and the flight's departure. With less margin, the toll is itemised in the quote like any other.
Free cancellation
More than 24 hours ahead you get a full refund. After that the published policy applies, and it is written down before you pay rather than afterwards.
We check your flight
With the flight number we check the arrival time before setting off and adjust the pickup at no cost. The car waits 15 minutes at no charge, counted from when the driver arrives.
Every trip, documented
Before departure the route sheet is issued and filed with the register Spanish transport rules require. It is not red tape: it is the difference between a legal service and one that is not.
What the law limits

We only sell what we are allowed to provide

Transfers are provided by our partner taxi and private hire (VTC) operators, each under their own licence or authorisation, and each licence allows some things and not others. That is applied before you get a price, not after you are charged: when no partner can serve the trip under their licence, it does not come with an amount or a booking button. We tell you why, and who can take you instead.

Within one municipality a VTC operator cannot drive you
A VTC authorisation covers intercity transport: from one town to another. A trip that starts and ends inside the same municipality is urban service and belongs to licensed taxis, because Castilla-La Mancha has not opened it to VTC operators. The quote engine checks that before pricing: if the trip is internal there is no amount and no booking button; we tell you why, and that the local taxi is who takes you there. And there is no exception for convenience: without a taxi licence behind it, that trip is not accepted through any channel — not the website, not WhatsApp, not the phone.
There is nothing to hail: the service is booked beforehand
A VTC cannot be hailed in the street or wait at a rank. Every service is booked before it starts and is recorded with the exact time of booking, which is the one carried onto the route sheet. For you that has one concrete advantage: before leaving home you know the price, the car and who is driving.
The 20% rule, counted trip by trip
Our partner VTC operators' cars must habitually serve transport needs connected with Castilla-La Mancha: a trip that both starts and ends outside the region counts against a 20% limit, and exceeding it costs the holder their authorisation. Every booking is classified by the region of pickup and of destination, the back office keeps the monthly and yearly count and warns before the margin runs out. We would rather turn down a transfer that is not ours than put the driver's licence at risk.

Every line above is a fare we do not take and someone else would. We give them up on purpose, because a service that cannot legally be provided is not cheaper: it is the one that leaves no car at your door and the driver facing a penalty notice. If another app quotes you for a trip that starts and ends inside your own town, ask which licence it is served under; the fine is not paid by the app.

Within Ciudad Real and to neighbouring provinces

It is not all about Madrid: we also drive between the towns of the province, to its stations, hospitals and sights, and to the surrounding capitals, at the same fixed price.

Service areas

The province has two high-speed stations — Ciudad Real and Puertollano — on the Madrid-Seville line, so many services connect with the AVE or run straight to Barajas along the A-4.

The province of Ciudad Real, area by area

Ciudad Real is a large, flat province whose population is spread across mid-sized towns separated by long stretches of vineyards and cereal fields. The west — the capital, the Campo de Calatrava and Puertollano — revolves around high-speed rail to Madrid and Andalusia; the east — Alcázar de San Juan, Tomelloso, Valdepeñas — is wine-growing La Mancha, with its own rail junction at Alcázar and the A-4 as the main road north and south.

Ciudad Real y el Campo de Calatrava

The capital and the towns of the old Order of Calatrava lands make up the most populated area in the west of the province. Miguelturra is joined to Ciudad Real, and Almagro and Bolaños are a few kilometres away: most trips to the high-speed station, the General Hospital and the provincial offices start here.

Daimiel y el entorno de las Tablas

Daimiel and Villarrubia de los Ojos lie on either side of Las Tablas de Daimiel National Park, on the Guadiana plain. They are farming towns that rely on Ciudad Real for the hospital and the AVE, and they receive park visitors who have no public transport to get there.

Puertollano y el valle de Alcudia

Puertollano is the province's industrial city, with its petrochemical complex, and the main town of the hilly south that runs down to the Alcudia valley and the Sierra Madrona. It has its own hospital and high-speed station, so many trips connect with trains to Madrid or to Córdoba and Seville.

La Mancha de Alcázar y Tomelloso

The north-east of the province is the La Mancha of the Campo de Criptana windmills, the wineries of Tomelloso and Socuéllamos and the rail junction at Alcázar de San Juan. Mancha Centro Hospital, in Alcázar, serves much of the area, and Argamasilla de Alba is the gateway to the Lagunas de Ruidera.

Valdepeñas, Manzanares y La Solana

The centre and south of La Mancha in Ciudad Real line up along the A-4: Manzanares, where it crosses the A-43, and Valdepeñas, a wine town with its own designation of origin. La Solana lies to the east, towards the Campo de Montiel. Valdepeñas has a hospital and a conventional railway station, and for the AVE people go to Ciudad Real.

Busiest times of year

  • Almagro Classical Theatre Festival (July): During the festival, Almagro fills its theatres and the Corral de Comedias almost every night, with audiences coming from Madrid and the whole region. Shows finish late and the town's accommodation sells out, so many people stay in Ciudad Real and need to get back at night.
  • Grape harvest in La Mancha (late August to October): The grape harvest sets Valdepeñas, Tomelloso, Socuéllamos and Alcázar in motion, with wine festivals in several of them and winery visits. Anyone going to a tasting or a winery should not be driving back.
  • Summer at the Lagunas de Ruidera (July and August): The lakes are La Mancha's inland beach, and in summer they draw swimmers from the whole area at weekends. Finding a parking space near the water gets difficult from mid-morning.
  • Ciudad Real August fair (mid-August): The capital's fair, around the feast of the Virgen del Prado, fills the August nights and draws people from the towns of the Campo de Calatrava. Late-night returns to Miguelturra, Almagro or Daimiel are the most requested.
  • Birds at Las Tablas de Daimiel (autumn to spring): When the wetland has water, the colder months bring waterfowl and more visitors to the national park, especially at weekends. It pays to arrive early, which is when the hides are at their best.
  • Holiday departures (Easter, summer and Christmas): At the start and end of the holidays, high-speed trains to Madrid and Andalusia and transfers to Barajas from all over the province fill up at the same time. The first flights and first trains of the day are the first to run out of space.

Booking tips

  • If you are catching the AVE at Ciudad Real or Puertollano, give the train time when booking: the driver works out the pickup so you reach the access check in good time.
  • From Alcázar, Tomelloso or Socuéllamos to Barajas there is no high-speed rail to help: for an early flight, pickup is in the small hours and should be booked days in advance.
  • For Las Tablas de Daimiel, Ruidera or Calatrava la Nueva, book the return trip too: there are no taxis waiting there and no public transport to improvise a way back.
  • If you are going to the Almagro festival, say when the performance ends: pickup is set for when you come out, not for a rough time.

Where we take most people

All destinations

Places where a car with a driver beats driving yourself: because of the timetable, the parking or because nobody wants to drive back.

Madrid South bus station

from 187 €

Estación Sur is the long-distance coach hub for half of Spain, in Méndez Álvaro, away from the centre. With luggage, a seven o'clock connection or a night arrival, a door-to-door transfer pays for itself.

See prices and times →

IFEMA and Madrid trade fairs

from 202 €

During a trade fair the problem is not getting there: it is arriving on time with two colleagues, the stand material and no parking hunt. We cover whole fairs with staggered pickups and month-end invoicing.

See prices and times →

Ciudad Real high-speed station

from 18 €

Ciudad Real is a stop on the Madrid–Seville line: anyone leaving the high-speed train needs to reach Puertollano, Valdepeñas, Tomelloso or Alcázar without missing the next appointment. A car with driver closes that leg at a fixed price.

See prices and times →

Puertollano high-speed station

from 18 €

Puertollano has its own high-speed stop. Anyone arriving for local industry work or to connect onwards to Ciudad Real needs a car at the platform, not an improvised taxi at peak train time.

See prices and times →

Ciudad Real University General Hospital

from 18 €

From Puertollano, Valdepeñas, Tomelloso or Alcázar an appointment at Ciudad Real hospital is not a journey to improvise. We book the car at a fixed price with home pickup.

See prices and times →

Almagro's Corral de Comedias

from 18 €

The only 17th-century playhouse still standing and still in use, and its July festival, which fills Almagro with performances ending late at night. At that hour there is no train and the bus has stopped: with a driver you leave after the applause and get home without hunting for parking in a packed main square.

See prices and times →

Lagunas de Ruidera

from 70 €

Fifteen linked lagoons between Ciudad Real and Albacete, with viewpoints spread along twenty-five kilometres of road. It is a place for stopping as you go, and that does not exist on public transport: either you rent a car or you go with a driver and stop wherever you like.

See prices and times →

Puy du Fou España

from 127 €

The park sits on the edge of Toledo and the big shows run at night, when public transport back is scarce. With a private driver you arrive for the first show and get home without driving at night or hunting for a parking space.

See prices and times →

Madrid hospitals

from 192 €

An early specialist appointment in Madrid means leaving before dawn, and coming back means waiting for a bus after a procedure. A door-to-door transfer avoids both: you leave at a reasonable hour and return when the patient is ready.

See prices and times →

Parque Warner Madrid

from 157 €

A theme-park day with children ends with everyone tired, and that is exactly when someone has to drive an hour home. With a driver, someone else handles the return and the whole group travels together in one vehicle.

See prices and times →

Matches and concerts in Madrid

from 187 €

A night match or a concert ends after the last train back to Castilla-La Mancha has gone. With a driver you go and return the same night, without driving after the game and without circling for a parking space two kilometres from the ground.

See prices and times →

National Paraplegics Hospital, Toledo

from 131 €

Patients and families from all over Spain travel to the Toledo paraplegics hospital, often for long stays and weekly visits. It is a repeated journey, with fixed visiting hours and often luggage or a folding wheelchair.

See prices and times →

Consuegra windmills

from 66 €

Twelve windmills and a castle on the same ridge, with the best light early or at dusk — exactly when there is no bus back. It is the image of La Mancha and it sits fifty minutes from Toledo: with a driver you arrive at the right hour and can add Campo de Criptana the same day.

Advance booking

How it works

You request the trip, we give you the fixed price and assign the car that can reach your pickup soonest. Because a Spanish VTC cannot be hailed and everything is booked in advance, you know the price, the car and the driver before you leave home.

  1. 1

    Book in advance

    Request on the map, fill in the form or call us. Advance booking is mandatory for Spanish private hire: we cannot pick you up without one.

  2. 2

    See the fixed price before giving your details

    The price appears at once and the soonest available car is assigned for your time. You can pay online by card when you confirm (Apple Pay and Google Pay if your phone has them). The amount is the one agreed: it does not change on the way.

  3. 3

    We issue the route sheet

    Before the trip starts we generate and file the paperwork required by Spanish transport regulations.

  4. 4

    We pick you up on time

    Before pickup you know who is coming: their name, their phone and the car's plate. And you can follow the car on the map on its way.

Our fleet

The vehicles the service runs on. You choose the class; we assign the actual car — the one that reaches your pickup soonest — and tell you which it is, with its plate and the name of the driver.

We are updating the fleet details. Ask us about the vehicle when booking and we will confirm it.

Approved child seats at no extra cost and passenger insurance in force. Inspections up to date.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a private hire car and a taxi?

A Spanish private hire vehicle may only carry out pre-booked services: it cannot pick up passengers in the street or wait at ranks. That is why everything goes through advance booking, with the price fixed before the trip and the service paperwork issued beforehand.

Is there Uber, Cabify or Bolt in Castilla-La Mancha?

The big apps do not cover Castilla-La Mancha the way they cover Madrid or Barcelona. In most towns in Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo there is no Uber, Cabify or Bolt with the same coverage. That is why we publish, town by town and with a date, what is actually there, and offer pre-booked private hire at a fixed price as an alternative.

Can you take me within my own town?

It depends on the town. A Spanish private hire authorisation covers intercity transport, while urban trips — those starting and ending in the same town — are reserved for taxis unless a licence covers them. Where we can do it, the booking form prices it like any other trip; where we cannot, we tell you straight away and why, before you fill in any details.

How far in advance should I book?

The earlier the better, especially for early flights. For airport transfers we recommend booking the day before; same-day requests depend on availability and always require advance booking.

Is the price I see the final price?

Yes. The quote includes VAT and is fixed when you confirm. It would only change if you alter the route, add stops or there is a long wait, and you are told before that happens.

What if my flight or train is delayed?

If you give us the flight or train number we adjust the pickup to the actual arrival time, and the waiting included at airports and stations is more generous than at an address: the exact minutes are in the terms of service.

How do I pay?

You can pay online by card when you confirm (Apple Pay and Google Pay if your phone has them). The amount is the one agreed: it does not change on the way.

Do you issue company invoices?

Yes. Enter your tax details when booking and you will receive an invoice with VAT broken out. For companies with recurring travel we offer consolidated monthly invoicing.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes, we carry approved child restraint systems. Tell us the child's age and weight when booking so we fit the right seat, at no extra cost.

Shall we book your transfer?

Tell us where, when and how many. We confirm a fixed price and the vehicle within minutes.
