Price of a Granada Airport taxi
Granada Airport taxis price their rides via taximeters. The base fare from the airport is €4. Then, the meter will calculate the remainder of your fare depending on the distance travelled and time of day. During the day, a standard 4-seater taxi has a per kilometre rate of €0.66. This rises to €0.78 per kilometre on weekends, public holidays, and between 22:00 and 06:00 on weekdays.
To give you some examples, your 20 minute journey from Granada Airport to Granada city should cost €28 during the day and €31 at night. Whereas, a longer taxi ride to somewhere like Sierra Nevada will cost around €85 in the daytime and €95 at night.
There are few tolls in the region, but if you do cross one, the toll fee will be added to your fare. A luggage fee of €0.50 per bag will also be applied for heavy baggage.
If you need a larger taxi with up to 8 seats, the rate will increase by roughly €7.
For long journeys, intercity taxis will offer a set price. In which case, you should ask to see the rate card, or consult the information desk in the Arrivals Hall before joining a taxi queue. This will give you an idea of what is a reasonable rate for your destination.
Note: It’ll be much cheaper to take an intercity taxi on long distances than an urban one. If in doubt, ask the driver or the information desk to help you.
As you can see, Granada Airport taxi costs are variable. If you want the peace of mind of a fixed rate agreed in advance, booking a taxi with Welcome Pickups is a great alternative to waiting in line at the rank. That way, you’ll secure an excellent rate for a personalised meet and greet service and private vehicle.

Pre-book a taxi from Granada Airport to your hotel
Public buses are available to Granada city centre and other popular cities. However, the journeys are much longer than taxi rides. They can also get crowded and stuffy in the summer months. With temperatures soaring over 40 degrees Celsius in high season, taking public transport can be a stressful start to your holiday in Granada.
Therefore, choosing a direct Granada Airport taxi to your hotel is the best idea for your comfort and peace. You’ll have the pleasure of travelling in a temperature-controlled, private vehicle, so you can relax and enjoy the ride.
