Estación Madrid-Chamartín, seen from Cuenca
Since the conventional railway closed, the province depends on the AVE at Fernando Zóbel, on the outskirts of Cuenca, and on the stations in Madrid and Valencia. Catching a train from a village usually means a long road journey first.
On arrival: Madrid capital
The capital holds the stations, hospitals, trade fairs and most of the region's hotels. The pre-booked trips requested from here are those that leave the municipality: day trips, business transfers to neighbouring provinces and leisure in the southern metro area.
Tip: For pickups in Cuenca's old town, give the exact address or a landmark: the streets of the upper town are narrow and it is not always possible to stop at the door.

Before you book, this may help
- Tarancón and the Mancha Alta to Madrid without a train: Atocha, Chamartín and IFEMA along the A-3, the Conde de Casal bus and the transfer with a driver for commuters, appointments and trade fairs
Tarancón is the Cuenca town closest to Madrid and, since the conventional railway stopped carrying passengers in 2022, its station is no use for reaching the capital: the trip is along the A-3, by scheduled bus to the Conde de Casal interchange or by car.
- Cuenca without conventional rail: Fernando Zóbel station, which AVE trains stop and how to get there from Tarancón, Motilla, San Clemente or Mota del Cuervo
Cuenca is the only Castilla-La Mancha province to have lost its conventional railway: the line via Aranjuez and Utiel closed in 2022 with the stations of the city and the villages.
- Driving a private hire car in Cuenca: a province with no conventional railway, the Fernando Zóbel station seven kilometres out, Barajas or Manises depending on the district, and how each job arrives and is paid
Cuenca is the province where the car with a driver replaces a train that no longer exists: the conventional line closed and the only station is the Fernando Zóbel high-speed station, seven kilometres from the city with no rail link, so every village of the Serranía, the Alcarria and the Mancha conquense reaches it by car.
