Why book with us in Cuenca

Cuenca and Cuenca y la Serranía

Cuenca city, above the gorges of the Júcar and Huécar rivers, is the gateway to the Serranía, a mountain area of pine forests and small villages stretching towards Teruel and Guadalajara. The city holds the hospital, the high-speed station and public offices, and gets tourists all year round.

From Cuenca to Madrid and Barajas

From Cuenca the road to Madrid is the A-40 to Tarancón and then the A-3, which enters Madrid through Arganda and Rivas. For Barajas you leave the A-3 at the M-40 or M-50 before reaching the centre; the other option is the AVE from Fernando Zóbel.

Around the province of Cuenca

Trips within Cuenca province are long and almost always by road: since the conventional line closed there has been no rail link between towns, and buses connect few places with few departures. The most requested trips run from La Mancha and La Manchuela to the capital — hospital, high-speed station, paperwork — and from the city to Fernando Zóbel station on the outskirts.

Busiest times of year

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.

Trips within Cuenca

Not within Cuenca itself: our partners' VTC authorisations cover intercity transport. We can take you from Cuenca anywhere else.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take me within Cuenca?

Not within Cuenca itself. Our authorisation covers intercity transport and urban trips there are reserved for taxis. We can take you from Cuenca to any other town, to the airport or to Madrid.

Is there Uber, Cabify or Bolt in Cuenca?

We have not yet checked whether Uber, Cabify, Bolt or FREENOW operate in Cuenca, and we would rather not claim it without a date. In Cuenca the fixed-price option is to book a private hire car in advance.

How much is a private transfer from Cuenca to Madrid-Barajas?

The transfer from Cuenca to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport starts at 221,32 € including VAT, on weekdays during the day. The price is fixed when you confirm.

Do you pick up anywhere in Cuenca?

Yes. We pick up at any address in Cuenca and also in Villar de Olalla, Chillarón de Cuenca, Arcas. Just give us the exact door when you book.

Where do people travel to most from Cuenca?

The usual destinations from Cuenca are Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas (from 221,32 €, 121 min); Madrid centro (from 205,56 €, 118 min); Estación Madrid-Puerta de Atocha (from 201,86 €, 112 min). We travel anywhere in Spain, always pre-booked.

What is the difference between a private hire car and a taxi?

A Spanish private hire vehicle may only carry out pre-booked services: it cannot pick up passengers in the street or wait at ranks. That is why everything goes through advance booking, with the price fixed before the trip and the service paperwork issued beforehand.

Is there Uber, Cabify or Bolt in Castilla-La Mancha?

The big apps do not cover Castilla-La Mancha the way they cover Madrid or Barcelona. In most towns in Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo there is no Uber, Cabify or Bolt with the same coverage. That is why we publish, town by town and with a date, what is actually there, and offer pre-booked private hire at a fixed price as an alternative.

Can you take me within my own town?

It depends on the town. A Spanish private hire authorisation covers intercity transport, while urban trips — those starting and ending in the same town — are reserved for taxis unless a licence covers them. Where we can do it, the booking form prices it like any other trip; where we cannot, we tell you straight away and why, before you fill in any details.

How far in advance should I book?

The earlier the better, especially for early flights. For airport transfers we recommend booking the day before; same-day requests depend on availability and always require advance booking.

Do you know the local transport by-law in Cuenca?

What can be provided inside a town depends on its by-law and on regional rules, and that is not collected anywhere. If you know where Cuenca's is published, whether there is a taxi service or what is allowed, tell us: we check it against the official gazette and adjust the service if appropriate.
