From Cuenca to the airport
- We pick you up at your door, hotel or office in Cuenca and drop you at your flight's terminal (T1, T2, T3, T4).
- The pickup time is worked out backwards: your flight time, the check-in margin —about 2 hours for a European flight, 3 for a long-haul one— and the drive.
- The price is fixed when you confirm: there is no running meter and traffic does not push it up. Nights, Sundays and public holidays carry the tariff's surcharge, shown before you pay.
Pickup at Barajas to Cuenca
- The driver comes into the terminal and waits at the baggage reclaim exit holding a sign with your name; then they walk you to the car park reserved for private hire, because a private hire car cannot stop in the terminal lane.
- With your flight number we follow the actual schedule and move the pickup at no cost if the plane lands early or late.
- The 15 included waiting minutes count from when the driver reaches the pickup point, not from when the plane lands.
- Pickups at Barajas are carried out by partners licensed in the Community of Madrid, which is what the rules require to start a trip there. When you ask for a quote with the pickup at the terminal you are told whether there is a car at that time, before paying anything.

We do not promise it without checking. Airport pickups are carried out by partners licensed in Madrid and depend on how many are free at that time; the quote tells you before you pay and, if there is no room, suggests another time instead of accepting a car that does not exist.
Is it a taxi or a private hire car?
A private hire car (VTC): always pre-booked, with the price fixed before the trip. It does not pick up at the taxi rank or in the terminal lane; we meet inside and the car is in the car park.
