Madrid Airport taxi price

An airport taxi in Madrid will be charged in two different ways, depending on whether you are traveling into the city center ring road (M20) or outside. If you’re traveling into the center of Madrid, you’ll be charged a fixed fare using the special ‘Airport Tariff 4’. If you’re traveling outside the city center to neighboring towns and cities, you’ll be charged using Tariff 3, which has a base fare of €20 and a price per km of €1.15. Tariff 4 and Tariff 3 don’t change during the evening.

For example, the 28 km drive from Madrid Airport to the city center or Atocha Station costs a fixed price of €33, regardless of the time of day you travel. However, the 45-minute journey to Aranjuez, outside of the central ring, will cost closer to €70, as it will be charged using a taximeter on Tariff 3.

If watching the taximeter go up is too stressful, you can always pre-book your Madrid Airport taxi with a private company like Welcome Pickups and enjoy all-inclusive fixed prices.

What our customers say about Welcome

Where is the Madrid Airport taxi rank?

You can find a Madrid Airport taxi rank outside the Arrivals Hall of T1, T2, T3, and T4. You’ll also find a dedicated taxi rank outside the Departures Hall at T1, T2, and T4. As you exit the terminal, you will see the white taxis with red stripes lined up in a queue in front of you. Remember that demand is high during high season, so you may have to wait at least 15 minutes.

To avoid waiting for an empty taxi, pre-book your rides with a trusted company like Welcome Pickups. You’ll enjoy a guaranteed on-time pickup and a personalized meet and greet at the airport.

Useful tips for getting a taxi from Madrid Airport

  1. Official Madrid taxis calculate fares using a taximeter. However, there is a fixed fare for journeys to and from the airport to the center of Madrid (Tariff 4).
  2. If you’re staying outside the city's central ring, your final fare will be calculated using a taximeter based on the distance traveled. In these cases, we recommend booking a private transfer to avoid being overcharged.
  3. You can tell when a taxi is free by the green light in the window or on the roof.
  4. Double-check the fixed fare with the driver before starting your ride.
  5. Always ask for a receipt at the end of your journey in case you need to file a complaint or claim a lost item.
  6. Waiting times for airport taxis in Madrid can be extended during the high season (June-August) and school holidays. Please keep this in mind when you're planning your transfer.
  7. Tipping your Madrid Airport taxi driver is not expected, but you can round up the fare if the service is excellent.
  8. Not all Madrid Airport taxis accept credit card payments. To avoid issues, carry enough cash in the local currency (€), including small bills.
  9. Local taxi drivers may not speak fluent English; to avoid any misunderstandings, you can use Google Maps or write down your hotel’s address and show it to your driver.
  10. If you think you have been scammed or overcharged, write down the taxi driver’s name, ID number, and the number of your taxi. You can then contact the taxi company or the foreign tourist police to file a complaint.
  11. Pre-booking your Madrid Airport taxi with a private company such as Welcome Pickups will guarantee on-time pickups, English-speaking drivers, all-inclusive pricing, and 24-hour customer support.
