Before you book, this may help
- VTC fleets in Cuenca: few cars and many kilometres, the Fernando Zóbel station, two airports to choose from, and how the fleet's jobs are assigned and paid
Cuenca is the Castilla-La Mancha province with the fewest cars per kilometre of road and no conventional railway: the only station is the Fernando Zóbel high-speed station, in open country, and every village reaches it by car; Tarancón and the Mancha Alta look to Barajas along the A-3, and La Manchuela and the capital to Manises.
- Companies in Cuenca, Tarancón and La Manchuela: the corporate account for visitors arriving at Fernando Zóbel, estate and harvest staff and business trips, with one invoice a month
The corporate account is a way of paying and invoicing, with no fee and no minimum: authorised people book by phone, email, WhatsApp or API, every trip has its price fixed in advance, the traveller neither pays nor keeps receipts, and at month end one invoice arrives with VAT itemised and one line per job with date, route, passenger and cost centre.
- 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.
