Q: There are 6 of us in our group and we are looking for the best option for transfer from the Cruise Terminal to Barcelona Airport. What is the best option available – car hire or taxi?

A: Even for a group of six people the best option in our opinion is still to take 2 taxis and not to hire a car. One taxi will hold up to 4 passengers or three travellers when carrying luggage. The cost per taxi would be around 30 euros from the cruise port to the airport.

In case you’d really like to hire a car: for six people you need to get two cars as the maximum number of people per car is five, or alternatively you can rent a van. The price to hire a car for one day starts at about 60 euros (one car). If you hire a van, you'd need to pay from 150 euros (capacity for 7 people) up to 270 euros (capacity for 9 people) for one day. Also consider that you do not know the town or your way to the airport. You would need to fill in the papers, get the car, find your way and return the car at the airport. That requires time and maybe cause stress especially as everything would be in Spanish. The taxis cost you less money and you do not have any stress.
