Companies in Ciudad Real, Alcázar and Puertollano: the corporate account for visitors arriving by high-speed train, staff transport and business trips, with one invoice a month
The corporate account is a way of paying and invoicing, with no fee and no minimum: authorised people book by phone, email, WhatsApp or API, every trip has its price fixed in advance, the traveller neither pays nor keeps receipts, and at month end one invoice arrives with VAT itemised and one line per job with date, route, passenger and cost centre. In Ciudad Real it is used, above all, to receive people: the client or auditor who steps off the high-speed train at Ciudad Real or Puertollano and has to reach a plant on the industrial estate or a winery in Valdepeñas, where there is no public transport. From Ciudad Real station to Puertollano is 40 km; from Valdepeñas to Puertollano's high-speed station, 97 km and about 75 min.

What does a Ciudad Real company ask for that Toledo or Guadalajara companies do not?
Receiving people by high-speed train. In Toledo and Guadalajara the visitor arrives via Barajas and by road; in Ciudad Real they arrive by train at one of the two high-speed stations, Ciudad Real or Puertollano, under an hour from Atocha, and from there they have to reach a chemical or energy plant in Puertollano, a factory on Ciudad Real's industrial estate, a winery in Valdepeñas or Tomelloso, a warehouse in Alcázar or an estate in the Campo de Calatrava: places the bus does not reach and a station taxi does not always want to go to with an empty return. The job is booked with the train number, the app follows delays and the driver waits at the station door with the visitor's name.
The rest is similar: staff for an industrial estate or a campaign — the grape harvest in Valdepeñas, Tomelloso and La Solana, the olive harvest in the Campo de Calatrava — who must be taken on time to places with no transport; managers' business trips to the station with a margin for the train or, the longer ones, to Barajas along the A-4; and events, with several coordinated cars for a convention, a group visit to a winery or a company lunch. The figures are the engine's: Ciudad Real to Puertollano, 40 km from 60,34 €; Valdepeñas to Puertollano station, 97 km from 130,41 €; Ciudad Real to Barajas, 220 km and about 160 min.
How is a visitor's arrival by high-speed train organised?
You book with the train number and the exact destination — the plant, the warehouse or the winery, with the gate — and it is confirmed in writing with the price. The driver knows both stations, which sit on the edge of their cities, and waits at the door with the visitor's name; if the train is late, the app follows it and the published courtesy wait runs from the actual arrival. On the way back, the same mechanism with a margin for the train, and if the meeting runs long the driver is told by message and a wait or a new time is agreed, recorded in the job and on the invoice at its price. The host assigns nobody to play chauffeur or wait on the platform.
For repeating visits — the monthly inspector, the client who comes every quarter — the service is left fixed with the same driver, who already knows the address and which gate to use. And for a group arriving on the same train for a day at a winery or a plant, several cars are coordinated to the same train with a single invoice.
And staff for an industrial estate or a harvest campaign?
It is booked as a single service with several stops: the company gives the clock-in time and the workers' addresses, and the platform works out the run with staggered pickups so that everyone clocks in together, with one price for the whole thing; if several vehicles are needed, they are coordinated to the same time and invoiced together. During the grape or olive harvest the service is left fixed for as many weeks as it lasts, at the same time every day, and cancelled at no cost when it ends. The warehouse or winery is stored with the exact gate, which on the Ciudad Real, Alcázar and Puertollano estates does not always match the postal address.
What does the invoice include, and who may book?
One grouped invoice a month, with VAT itemised at the reduced passenger-transport rate and one line per job with date, route, passenger, cost centre and amount, reconciling with the written confirmations of each booking. Each trip is performed by a partner under their valid VTC authorisation or taxi licence, with a trip sheet issued before it starts, in case compliance asks. Who books is decided when the account is opened: usually two or three people — reception, management, assistants — although it can be opened to the whole team with a cap per job. There is no fee, minimum or lock-in; with high volume a rate can be discussed. No surge or time-of-day surcharge: the price agreed at booking is the one on the invoice.
What other companies in the province use the account?
Hotels in Ciudad Real and Almagro, to take guests to the high-speed station with the charge on the room and for the Classical Theatre Festival, when the town fills up; the wineries of Valdepeñas and Tomelloso that receive wine-tourism groups from the station; clinics and insurers, for unaccompanied transfers to appointments with the invoice to the insurer; schools and camps, for outings with several cars to the Tablas de Daimiel or Ruidera; and wedding organisers at the Campo de Calatrava estates. Each has its own page with what changes in its case; the account is the same for all.
Frequently asked questions
Does the corporate account have a fee or a lock-in?
No. It is a way of paying and invoicing: no fee, no minimum and no lock-in contract. With high volume a rate can be discussed.
What if the visitor's high-speed train is late?
The job carries the train number and the app follows it: the pickup moves by itself and the published courtesy wait starts counting at the actual arrival.
What does taking a client from Ciudad Real station to Puertollano cost?
The route engine works it out as for an individual: Ciudad Real to Puertollano is 40 km and about 31 min, from 60,34 €. That price is the one on the monthly invoice.
Can staff transport be fixed for the grape harvest?
Yes: the service is left fixed at the same time every day for the weeks of the campaign, with the same driver, and cancelled at no cost when it ends.

The account's conditions (authorised people, caps, cost centres) are set when it is opened and can be adjusted later. Kilometre, minute and price figures are those of the route engine when the page is opened; the VAT rate is the one published by the tax agency on the date consulted.
