Before you book, this may help
- 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.
- What is the difference between a Spanish VTC and a taxi?
A Spanish VTC is a private hire car with driver that may only carry out pre-booked services: it cannot be hailed in the street or wait at a rank.
- Do you need a child seat in a Spanish VTC?
Yes.
