Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, seen from Cuenca
Cuenca province has two airports within reach, one on each side: Barajas along the A-3 towards Madrid and Manises along the A-3 towards Valencia. None of its towns has a direct train to a terminal, and for pre-dawn flights a car is the only option that avoids sleeping away from home.
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.
When demand peaks
- Holidays and long weekends (Easter, summer, long weekends and Christmas): At the start and end of holidays, transfers to Barajas from Tarancón and Cuenca increase, as do AVE travellers arriving at Fernando Zóbel and heading on to the villages. First-thing flights and trains are the first to be booked.
Tip: If you are flying from the south-east of the province, compare Barajas with Valencia airport: from Motilla or Quintanar del Rey, Manises can be closer.
Airport pickup
For arrivals, the driver waits in the terminal with a name sign and helps with your luggage. We track the flight number, so a delay costs nothing extra within the terminal’s complimentary waiting time.

What the price includes
- Door-to-door pickup and help with luggage.
- Complimentary waiting and flight or train tracking.

Tolls and parking, where the route requires them, are itemised in the quote and charged to the customer, with one exception: for airport destinations, if traffic calls for it, the route along the radial toll motorways is included at no cost provided there are at least 3 hours between pickup and the flight's departure.

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.
- 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.
