Cheap airport transfers
A Vigo Airport taxi booked before you fly, with one figure agreed in writing and a driver set against your flight number at Vigo-Peinador (VGO). Aena publishes a flat fare for the rank that covers three municipalities in one direction and nothing else; a pre-booked private transfer is quoted for your own journey. Both are explained below, along with runs into the city, the two stations and the port, out along the Rías Baixas to Baiona, Sanxenxo and O Grove, north to Santiago, and across the Miño into northern Portugal.
Vehicles
Seats are the easy half of this. Boots are the half that goes wrong.
A party of four with four large suitcases is not a saloon booking, whatever the seat count suggests. Choose on the luggage first and the car that arrives is the one everybody and everything fits into.
The capacities below are the network’s published figures, the same wherever it works because the vehicles are the same. What is particular to Vigo is the mix: a ten-minute run to Redondela and a three-hour drive to Porto come off the same list and want nothing like the same car.
| Class | Passengers | Luggage | Booked for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | Up to 4 | 3 large (3 passengers), or 2 large and 2 hand bags (4 passengers) | Two people with a case each going into Vigo. The commonest booking here and the one that comes unstuck when a third suitcase appears at the terminal doors. |
| Estate car | Up to 4 | 3 large and 3 hand bags | Four seats and a boot long enough for the beach half of a Galician fortnight: the chairs, the cool box and the cases. |
| Executive car | Up to 3 | 2 large and 2 hand bags | Three seats and a quiet half hour, for the arrival due at an office in Bouzas or O Porriño rather than at a hotel. |
| MPV, 5-seater | Up to 5 | Up to 4 large suitcases | Five kept together in one vehicle instead of divided between two cars at the kerb. |
| MPV, 6-seater | Up to 6 | 4 to 5 large suitcases | Six seats over a boot deep enough for a family fortnight in the Rías Baixas, pushchair included. |
| Executive 7-seater | Up to 7 | Up to 7 bags | Seven places for a drive measured in hours rather than minutes, with the luggage behind them instead of on anybody’s lap. |
| Executive MPV | Up to 7 | Up to 7 bags | Seven places again, finished to a higher standard. It is the class a company books for somebody it is expecting. |
| Van, 8-seater | Up to 8 | Up to 7 bags | As many people as one vehicle will take. Nine and upwards is a group movement and is organised as one. |
| 8-seater minibus | Up to 8 | 6 to 8 large suitcases | Eight places with more room behind them, for the walking party whose rucksacks and cases outnumber its passengers. |
A saloon carries four people with three large cases, or two large and two hand bags once somebody takes the fourth seat. It is the right answer for a couple going into the city and the wrong one as soon as a third suitcase joins them.
A Vigo Airport executive taxi carries three instead of four and buys a calmer start to a working day. More often than not it is arranged by an office rather than by the traveller, which is why the business section asks for the traveller’s own mobile number as well as the booker’s.
A Vigo Airport MPV transfer carries five or six people and the cases that come with them, and it is the answer to the pushchair nobody can collapse. The seven-seaters above it, in either trim, earn their keep on the longer runs: north past Santiago, east to Ourense, south over the Miño.
Eight seats are as large as a single car booking gets. Beyond that a party becomes a group movement, arranged as one journey rather than as three cars trying to stay together on the AP-9. A Vigo Airport minibus transfer, in sixteen or thirty seats, is quoted on the same details as a saloon: the address, the hour and a bag count somebody has actually done.
A class has no price by itself. It is one of several things that make up the figure for one journey, and whether it can be supplied on your date is something only the booking system knows.
Reviews
Written by passengers, served by the platforms that hold them.
The panel below is drawn straight from the review platforms, and every word in it belongs to the traveller who wrote it. Nothing was drafted, chosen or reordered at this end.
No score exists for Vigo on its own and none has been invented for the occasion. What loads covers the network as a whole: whoever felt like writing something, from wherever they happened to be flying.
This space is empty for the moment. The review panel may still be loading, or its styling may have been blocked on the way through, and half a panel is no use to anybody — the same journeys are kept on our own reviews page.
At a glance
The whole page in one table, with the long version underneath.
Book here and what arrives is one private car, carrying your party and nobody else, at a figure you saw before you travelled. The rank at the terminal is a different arrangement with a fare of its own, and the difference between the two runs through this whole page.
Everything in the table is taken up again further down with whoever published it named. Aena’s facts are credited to Aena, Vitrasa’s to Vitrasa, and ours are marked as ours.
| The question | The answer |
|---|---|
| Airport | Vigo Airport (VGO), Aeropuerto de Vigo in Spanish and Aeroporto de Vigo in Galician |
| Also called | Vigo-Peinador, after the plateau it sits on |
| Where it is | Across the boundaries of Vigo, Mos and Redondela, in the province of Pontevedra, Galicia |
| Who runs it | Aena |
| Official taxi rank | At the terminal, signposted from Arrivals |
| The published flat fare | €25.50, and what it covers is exactly this: journeys that start at the airport and finish inside Vigo, Mos or Redondela |
| Going the other way | A different tariff, set by Vigo City Council, which Aena does not print |
| Our fares | Worked out from the journey you enter, and not revisited once you have said yes |
| Flight watching | Included on arrivals, run from the flight number you typed |
| Free waiting after landing | 60 minutes, timed from touchdown, rising to 90 if the delay is the baggage hall |
| Where the journeys go | Vigo, the Rías Baixas, Santiago, inland Galicia and northern Portugal |
| Public transport | Line A, run by Vitrasa, from the pavement outside Arrivals |
| Booking | Online at any hour, subject to availability |
It is Vigo-Peinador, VGO to an airline and LEVX to a pilot, and it is run by Aena. A Vigo Peinador Airport taxi, a Vigo Airport transfer, a VGO airport taxi and a Vigo Airport private transfer all name the same arrangement. What genuinely has two meanings here is the word fare, and the fares section takes that apart.
Two sorts of money are kept apart throughout what follows: the regulated fare Aena publishes for the rank, and the quotation for a private transfer, which is calculated for your journey and shown to you alone.
Booking
Eight answers, and what each of them changes.
Can I pre-book a taxi from Vigo Airport? Yes, and a pre-booked car is the only one that arrives knowing your name, your flight and your address. A Vigo Airport taxi booking asks eight questions, and six of the answers decide which vehicle is sent.
One form covers both directions and reads differently each way. Coming in, the booking is fastened to a flight and waits for it. Going out, it is fastened to a desk that closes, and waiting is the one thing it cannot do.
Send the flight number, the date, the destination in full and a realistic count of the bags. The flight is then followed and the meeting arrangement is written into the confirmation rather than improvised at the terminal doors. At airport arrivals your driver waits at the agreed meeting point with a name board and helps with the bags.
A Vigo Airport private transfer carries your party and nobody else: no second collection on the way out, no stranger’s hotel on the route, and nobody sitting in the vehicle waiting for a flight that is not yours.
For a departure the car comes to a hotel, a house, an office, an apartment or the quayside, and leaves you at the terminal. The figure worth padding is the gap between arriving and the gate closing: it is the only part of the day nobody driving can influence.
Drives of two or three hours — Santiago, Ourense, anywhere in Portugal — are covered under long-distance transfers, and a Vigo Airport late night taxi, the pick-up that happens before the first bus of the day, is covered in the guidance on late-night and early-morning transfers.
The figure comes out of four things and a few additions: which class, how far, what time of day, and anything extra you have asked for — a stop on the way, a seat for a child, a board that will not fit in a boot. It is built from your description, so a half-written address produces a figure that has to be rebuilt. The fares section takes each input in turn.

Nothing is owed for asking. A figure is produced once the destination, the vehicle class and the flight are on the form, and you see it in full before the booking is confirmed.
Pick-up
Where the taxis are, where a booked car is, and why those are two answers.
Where is the taxi rank at Vigo Airport? Aena puts the airport’s taxi stop at the terminal itself and signs it from Arrivals. Walk out of Arrivals and that is the Vigo Airport taxi rank: the place to pick up a cab on the spot, and not the place a pre-booked car waits for you.
One terminal building, one arrivals hall and one set of doors to come out of, which makes this an easy airport to be met at. The airport sits on the Peinador plateau east of the city, across the boundaries of Vigo, Mos and Redondela — which is why those three municipalities are the ones in the flat fare.
At the point your confirmation names. Aena publishes the taxi stop and the Express car park and nothing in between, so anybody promising an official private-hire bay at this terminal is describing something the airport does not publish. The Vigo Airport private driver meeting point is agreed by the operator sending the car, and it is in writing before you fly.
A Vigo Airport pickup therefore happens in one of two ways, and the difference is not where you stand but what you booked. So the answer to where to meet my driver at Vigo Airport is: wherever your own confirmation says, and the place to read that is the aircraft rather than the hall. A Vigo Airport pre-booked taxi pickup is settled in advance between you and the operator; the Vigo Airport taxi pickup point most people have in mind — the queue anybody can join — is the rank.
Aena lists two radio taxi companies with telephone numbers on its own taxi page, which is where to get them. Those are taxi companies rather than transfer operators, and the cars they send charge the regulated fare; neither number is reproduced here, because they are somebody else’s business to publish.
The first ten minutes in the Express car park are free. That is the one free thing at any airport kerb worth planning around, and it is enough for a boot to be emptied without anybody hurrying.
The Express car park is the airport’s own drop-off and pick-up: 32 spaces a few metres from the terminal building, with the first ten minutes free. Under ten minutes you leave without going to a pay machine; past the tenth minute the whole stay is charged at the rate in force. The longest stay allowed in it is two hours; beyond that Aena charges the maximum daily amount and says the vehicle may be towed. That is the airport’s own arrangement for setting somebody down or collecting them, and it is worth knowing if a friend is driving rather than a booking.
There is a separate note on what meet and greet does and does not include, and anybody landing in an unfamiliar country for the first time will get more out of the first-arrival guide than out of this section alone.
Standing still at an airport is rarely free for the driver. Whatever it comes to at this one is already inside the figure you accepted, not waiting to be added to it.
Fares
One published fare, three municipalities, one direction.
How much is a taxi from Vigo Airport to the city centre? Aena publishes one flat fare for the rank: all services from the airport to anywhere in the municipal regions of Vigo, Mos and Redondela cost €25.50. That is Aena’s figure for the rank, not ours, and the three words that matter in it are Vigo, Mos and Redondela.
Three municipalities are named and no others, so the flat fare says nothing at all about Pontevedra, Baiona, Sanxenxo, Santiago or anywhere else in Galicia. What it does cover is journeys that start at the airport and finish inside Vigo, Mos or Redondela; what it leaves out is everything else: Pontevedra, Baiona, Nigrán, Sanxenxo, Santiago, Ourense, Portugal, and the journey back to the airport. That fare runs one way only. For the journey from Vigo to the airport, Aena says the fare established by Vigo City Council applies, and it does not print the amount. So the Vigo Airport taxi flat fare answers one question well and says nothing at all about the other nine journeys described below.
| The journey | What applies |
|---|---|
| Airport to Vigo, Mos or Redondela | €25.50, flat, as Aena publishes it |
| Airport to Pontevedra, Baiona, Sanxenxo, Santiago | Not the flat fare: the applicable regulated tariff, or a quotation if you book privately |
| Airport to northern Portugal | Not the flat fare, and a journey to confirm before it is priced |
| Vigo back to the airport | The tariff set by Vigo City Council, which Aena does not print |
| A pre-booked private transfer, any of the above | Priced for the journey you have described, and that figure stands once the booking is confirmed |
The flat fare is Aena’s to change and Aena’s to publish. The amount above is what it had published while these words were being written, and the rate card inside the vehicle is what governs the journey you actually take.
In Spanish the same questions are typed differently: precio taxi aeropuerto Vigo and tarifa taxi aeropuerto Vigo are people asking what the rank costs, and transporte privado aeropuerto Vigo is somebody looking for what is booked here instead.
A Vigo Airport private transfer quote is produced from your journey rather than read off a list, which is why a Vigo Airport to city centre taxi price and a Vigo Airport taxi cost out to O Grove come from the same calculation and nothing like the same number.
| The input | What it changes |
|---|---|
| The full destination address | The bulk of the figure, because it sets both the road and the distance |
| The vehicle class | Usually a question of how much luggage there is, not how many seats are needed |
| The hour and the date | A landing before the first bus of the morning does not cost what a midday one does |
| Flight watching | Carried by every arrival booking at no charge, rather than sold as an extra |
| Extra stops | Another address means another leg, and another leg is costed |
| Child seats | Available on request and free of charge |
| Bulky or unusual items | A board, a bicycle or nine rucksacks will change the class, and the class changes the number |
| Crossing into Portugal | A different road and different conditions, confirmed before it is quoted |
Neither, reliably. Inside the three municipalities the flat fare is simple and hard to beat for one or two people with ordinary luggage. Outside them it does not apply at all, and that is where a figure agreed in advance earns its place: a family of five going to Sanxenxo in August wants to know the price before the journey rather than at the end of it.
A cheap Vigo Airport taxi is usually just an accurately booked one. Three cases declared as two produce the wrong car and a second journey; a postcode with no house number produces a driver going slowly round a lane above the beach. Accuracy is what keeps a booking cheap.

The one amount printed anywhere here was set by somebody else and is marked as theirs. No transfer price appears at all, because the same form books a hotel ten minutes away and a house in Portugal.
Delays
A late aircraft moves the car. It does not lose it.
With the flight number on the booking, a delay simply moves the collection: the car is watching the aircraft, not the printed timetable. The free allowance begins the moment the wheels are down, whatever the ticket once promised.
A rebooked flight needs nothing but its number: the booking is rewritten onto it rather than scrapped and started again. A diversion is a different matter. Galician weather sends aircraft to Santiago or A Coruña often enough that it is worth saying: if you are put down at another airport, tell us from the aircraft rather than from the carousel, because that is a new journey from a new place.
How the whole journey works is set out on our airport taxi page, and the point at which waiting stops being free is written into the terms and conditions that your confirmation links to.
Beyond the free allowance, the rate is the one set out in the terms your confirmation links to. Look there rather than here: a sentence on a page is not where a charge should live.
Bus or taxi
What the bus actually offers, in the operator’s own numbers.
Is there a bus from Vigo Airport to the city? Yes: the airport bus is Line A, which Aena lists as "Universidad - Aeropuerto" and runs by Vitrasa. Aena gives it one stop at the airport: the outside pavement at Arrivals, and it connects the airport with the city centre and links at Urzáiz with both the railway station and the bus station, and with the Estación Marítima.
Vitrasa says the line runs on average every 36 minutes on weekdays, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons, and every 60 minutes on Sunday mornings. That is the operator’s own figure, and it is worth reading twice: a good many pages about this airport round it down to a bus every thirty minutes, which is not what Vitrasa says. A screen at the passenger exit of the terminal shows when the next buses arrive and leave. Aena prints no bus fare of its own and links to Vitrasa’s own fares page instead.
| What differs | Line A bus | Pre-booked private transfer |
|---|---|---|
| Where it goes | The line’s own stops | The address you gave, door to door |
| How often | Vitrasa’s average is 36 minutes, and 60 on Sunday mornings | When your flight lands |
| Booking | None needed | Made before you fly, with the flight number on it |
| Luggage | Shared space, carried on and off by you | A vehicle chosen for the bags, loaded by the driver |
| Price | Vitrasa’s own fare, per passenger | One quotation for the whole party |
| Beyond Vigo | A change, and usually more than one | Direct to Pontevedra, Baiona, Santiago or Portugal |
| Late arrivals | Whatever the timetable allows | The car waits for the aircraft |
One traveller with a cabin bag going to Urzáiz, in daylight, with no particular hurry: the bus is cheap, it exists and nothing here pretends otherwise. The screen at the terminal exit tells you when the next one leaves, which removes most of the guesswork.
Frequencies above are Vitrasa’s own and the stop is Aena’s, reported as published. Neither tells anybody who reproduces them before they change, so check the operator for the day you travel.
Bus fares are Vitrasa’s and the airport prints none of its own, pointing at the operator instead. Anything time-sensitive is worth checking with Vitrasa on the day.
Into Vigo
The city, its two stations and its port — three different journeys.
How far is Vigo Airport from the city centre? How far it is from the city centre depends on who is counting: around 9 kilometres on some published figures and 10 on others, and neither is the road distance to your own address. What decides your journey is the address and the hour, not the number on a map.
How long does a taxi take from Vigo Airport to Vigo? Nobody official publishes a figure for the drive, so none is invented here. The airport sits on a plateau above the city and the road comes down into it, which is why the last few minutes depend more on where you are going than on how far it is.
A taxi aeropuerto Vigo centro run covers Porta do Sol, Casco Vello, Gran Vía, Plaza de España, Praza de Compostela, Areal, O Berbés, Bouzas, Coia, Navia, Balaídos, Alcabre and the Samil sea front. Vigo is steep and much of the old town is stepped or pedestrianised, so the practical detail is the nearest street a vehicle can stop in — ask the hotel and put the answer in the booking.
The city has two railway stations and they are not interchangeable. Urzáiz, above the centre, takes the high-speed and long-distance services and has the bus station beside it; Guixar, down by the water, handles regional trains along the coast. Your ticket names one of them, and arriving at the other with twenty minutes to spare is the commonest mistake made at this airport.
Tell us which train you are catching or meeting and the transfer is timed to it, with the luggage going from door to concourse rather than on and off a bus. Our page on station transfers sets out how those are planned.
Vigo is a cruise call and a working port, and a transfer to the quayside is a different booking from one to a hotel: give us the ship, the terminal and the hour you must be aboard, and the pick-up is counted back from that. The estuary ferries leave from the same part of the city; a transfer takes you to the terminal and no further, because the boat is somebody else’s to arrange.
A journey that finishes at a quayside rather than a front door is covered under cruise port transfers. A Vigo Airport hotel transfer, meanwhile, is booked on the hotel’s name and its street rather than its quarter: two hotels a hundred metres apart can have completely different ways in. The hotel transfers page says what to send when the address is an apartment with a keypad instead of a reception desk.
Vigo is not a single destination with a single figure. A hotel beside Urzáiz and a house on the hill above Samil are separate runs, and the quotation follows the street rather than the city name.
Galicia
Fifteen journeys off this one runway, and what each needs written down.
Most people who land at Vigo are not staying in Vigo. The Rías Baixas, Santiago, the border towns and inland Galicia are all booked from this terminal, and not one of them is covered by Aena’s flat fare.
Inside the flat fare, if you take the rank. Porta do Sol, Casco Vello, Gran Vía, Plaza de España, Praza de Compostela, Areal, O Berbés, Bouzas, Coia, Navia, Balaídos, Alcabre and the Samil beach front. The old town is steep and partly pedestrianised, so the useful detail is the nearest street a vehicle may stop in rather than the district.
Check which station is on the ticket. The high-speed and long-distance station, above the city centre, with the bus station alongside it. Urzáiz and Guixar are different places, and arriving at the wrong one with a train to catch is the commonest mistake made here.
The other station, down by the water. Guixar sits near the port and handles the regional services along the coast. A transfer goes to an accessible door near the concourse; send the train and the booking is timed against it.
Name the ship and the gate. The cruise terminal, the ferry berths for the estuary and the working port behind them. Give us the vessel, the terminal and the hour you must be aboard; a transfer takes you to the quayside and no further, because the boat is somebody else’s to arrange.
North, and outside the flat fare. The provincial capital, its arcaded old town, its hotels and its station. Nothing about Aena’s €25.50 applies here: this is quoted as its own journey.
Say which side of the harbour. The harbour town, the Monte Real walls and the hotels around them. Some addresses inside the old streets cannot be reached by car, so the practical question is where the vehicle can actually stop.
Beach luggage counts as luggage. The Val Miñor coast, where a fortnight’s worth of beach equipment, pushchairs and cases decides the vehicle long before the number of passengers does.
Close across the water, further by road. The Morrazo peninsula, which looks like a short hop from Vigo on a map and is a drive around the head of the estuary in a car. The ferry is for foot passengers; the transfer takes the road.
The nearest towns of all. Redondela is inside the flat-fare area and O Porriño is just beyond it, both minutes from the terminal. Short journeys leave no room to absorb a wrong address, so the street matters more here than anywhere.
The border, and the Camino. Tui faces Valença across the Miño and is where a great many walkers start the Portuguese Camino; A Guarda sits at the river mouth. Both are quoted as their own journeys.
In August, allow for August. The resort coast of the Rías Baixas, its hotels and apartments. In the high season the road and the last few streets both take longer than the map suggests.
Spa hotels and a causeway. The peninsula and the island beside it, reached over the bridge. Resort addresses are easy to describe and hard to guess, so send the hotel’s full name.
Up the coast road. The town, its port and the villages around it, for holidays, family visits and onward connections.
The old city is closed to traffic. The cathedral city, its university and its hotels. Much of the historic centre is restricted, so a transfer sets you down at the nearest accessible point and the last few minutes are on foot.
Inland and north, as arranged journeys. Ourense for the spa city and the station, A Coruña and Lugo for the north of Galicia. At this range the vehicle is chosen for the seat rather than the boot and the journey is quoted on the details.
The three inland and northern cities share a card above because they share a way of being booked, not because they are the same journey: a Vigo Airport to A Coruña taxi runs up the motorway past Santiago, and Ourense and Lugo go east and north-east from there.
July and August change these journeys more than the distance does. Sanxenxo, Portonovo, O Grove and the beaches around Nigrán fill up, the approach roads slow down and the last streets before an apartment can take longer than the motorway did. A booking made with the real address and a realistic hour absorbs that; one made at the kerb does not.
There is more on arranging a transfer of several hours, and the way a holiday party should think about vehicles is in the notes on family transfers.
Distance is only part of what a run like these costs. Each is set up as a single arranged journey, and what the figure takes in is written out before anybody agrees to anything.
Portugal
Across the Miño, and what crossing it adds to a booking.
Vigo is the closest Spanish airport to the north of Portugal, and a transfer across the border is a road journey like any other — with a frontier in the middle of it. Each is confirmed as available before it is quoted, rather than promised first and checked afterwards.
Tui and Valença face each other across the river, and from there the road runs south through the Minho to Porto. What changes once you cross is not the driving but the paperwork and the cover: travel documents for everybody in the party, and a service that has been confirmed for that route rather than assumed.
Worth saying when you book. Immediately across the bridge from Tui, inside its star-shaped walls.
Worth saying when you book. Down the Portuguese coast road, and a common first night on the Camino.
Worth saying when you book. Inland in the Minho, for the city and the sanctuaries above it.
Worth saying when you book. The obvious cross-border run: the city, its river front and its hotels.
Worth saying when you book. A different airport in a different country, booked when a connection has to be made by road.
A Vigo Airport to Porto Airport transfer is a connection between two airports in two countries, and it is booked when the flights do not line up any other way. Allow properly for the road, for the check-in at the far end and for the fact that a missed connection cannot be re-driven. The Porto Airport page covers that end of the journey, and the Portugal index lists the rest of the country.
A journey that crosses a border is confirmed as available before it is quoted at all, and the quotation accounts for the road it actually takes.
Camino
Arriving to walk, which is a different kind of booking.
Vigo is a practical arrival point for the Portuguese Camino, and a Camino de Santiago transfer from Vigo Airport is usually a rucksack party rather than a suitcase one. Say so when you book: rucksacks, poles and boots pack differently from cases.
The stages people ask for from this airport run through Vigo, Redondela, Tui, O Porriño, Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis, Padrón, Santiago de Compostela and Sarria. Tui is where a great many walkers start, because it is the last Spanish town before the border and the right distance from Santiago for the certificate; Redondela and Pontevedra are where people join who have walked up from Porto.
Santiago itself is covered on its own Santiago de Compostela airport page, which is the airport most walkers fly home from.
A walking party is quoted on its rucksacks as much as on its people. Nothing in the figure covers anything that happens once you are on foot.
Business
Vigo works for a living, and so do a good many of its arrivals.
A Vigo Airport business transfer is what gets booked when the arrival is expected somewhere, and it is usually arranged by the office rather than by the traveller. The flight is followed, the car is quiet, and the price is settled before the journey instead of at the end of it.
This is a port and a manufacturing city, and the addresses show it: the industrial estates around O Porriño, the works at Bouzas, the offices in the centre and the sites spread along the estuary. Nothing written here implies a relationship with any employer in or near the airport — we are a booking platform, and what we arrange is the car.
Add the traveller’s own name and mobile to the booking alongside yours. Without them the confirmation lands on the desk that made the arrangement rather than with the person standing in arrivals at seven in the morning — the usual fault in a booking made for somebody else.
Keeping one party in one vehicle beats splitting it across three cars that then try to stay in sight of each other in traffic; past eight travellers the booking turns intoa corporate arrangement instead. Multi-stop days are set out on the business-class transfers page, and hotels and concierges booking on behalf of guests have their own page.
Billing, invoices and consolidated accounts are settled between a company and us. They are not something a page addressed to everybody can state on anybody’s behalf.
Families
The holiday arrival, where the luggage decides everything.
On a Vigo Airport family transfer the luggage is what decides the car. Two adults, two children, four cases and a pushchair will not go into a saloon, and the pavement outside Arrivals is the worst place to discover it.
A Vigo Airport taxi with luggage and a Vigo Airport taxi for the same number of people are two different bookings: one counts seats and the other measures boot space. On this coast, add whatever the beach needs, because it travels with you.
Child seats are available on request and free of charge. Tell us how many, and the age of each child, while you are booking. A rear-facing carrier, a seat for a toddler and a booster cushion are three separate fittings, and the right one has to leave the depot with the car rather than be looked for in the terminal. Ourguide to child seats on airport transfers explains what each one suits.
| The party | Usually the right class |
|---|---|
| Two adults, one child and three cases | The estate: four seats, and a boot that takes the fourth case |
| Two adults, two children, four cases, one pushchair | Six-seat MPV |
| Two adults, three children, five or six cases | Seven-seat vehicle |
| Two families travelling together | An eight-seat van, or two cars where the suitcases will not all fit into one |
| A party arriving together on one flight | Sixteen-seat minicoach |
| A group too large to divide between cars | Thirty-seat coach |
A Vigo Airport group taxi earns its keep where parties usually come apart — the first ten minutes in arrivals. One vehicle gives you one place to gather, one loading of the bags and one time of arrival at the far end. Thegroup transfers page carries the rest.
Not one amount appears in this section. A family’s figure follows the vehicle, the vehicle follows the luggage, and the luggage is therefore the first thing to get right.
Accessibility
Which half of this is ours to arrange, and which half is the airport’s.
A Vigo Airport wheelchair accessible transfer is checked as available and written into the booking before anybody travels. A standard people carrier is not a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, and the two should never be assumed to be the same thing.
Help inside the building is a different service again. The people who meet an aircraft, bring a passenger through and hand them over in the hall work for the airport and the airline; a transfer booking cannot call them out, and Aena publishes how they are arranged. Ours starts where that handover finishes.
The vehicle is confirmed before the booking is taken, which is why this is one of the few things on the page that cannot be arranged at the last minute. The guide to accessible vehicles sets out what can be confirmed in advance.
No price is put against an accessible vehicle until it is known that one can actually be supplied that day. The confirmation comes first and the figure second.
Going back
The journey home, counted backwards, with no cushion in it.
Can I book a return taxi to Vigo Airport? Yes, and the sum runs the other way round. Begin at the moment your check-in closes, take off the drive, take off the margin, and what remains is the hour the car has to be at your door.
An arrival has slack in it, because the waiting allowance is built to provide some. A departure has none at all: the aircraft leaves whether or not the coast road was sensible in August. Hence the margin.
Put both legs on one booking if you can. The way back is then settled before you leave home, which counts for most when the departure is early in the morning and the first Line A bus of the day runs later than you would need.
A Vigo Airport return taxi is built from the same three facts as the run in: the pick-up address, the flight it has to feed and the hour check-in shuts. Put the departure number on the booking as well as the arrival one.
Remember which fare is which. Aena’s flat figure runs from the airport, not towards it; coming back from Vigo, a rank taxi charges the tariff the city council sets, and a pre-booked transfer charges what your confirmation says.
Start from whatever your airline tells you to allow, add what the road costs at that hour of the day, and then add the margin you would want if the road let you down. That last piece is the first one people drop.
Arranging a traslado aeropuerto Vigo in advance is not the same as taking whatever happens to be at the kerb: the car is matched to the party, the price is settled and the driver already has the street. The form takes bookings at any hour, subject to availability.

What a departure costs comes from its starting address, the flight it has to catch and the hour it has to leave by. The airport building has nothing to do with it.
About us
What we are, and what we are not.
We are a booking platform. Your transfer is carried out by a licensed private hire driver. Every class is clean, modern and driven by a professional, licensed driver. Your confirmation shows the driver and vehicle details.
Nothing above claims a presence at Vigo-Peinador that nobody has. There is no desk of ours in the arrivals hall, we are not in the rank, and what Aena publishes for a taxi or Vitrasa charges for a seat is entirely out of our hands.
The rank, the Express car park and the flat fare are Aena’s, and each appears above credited to it, because an airport can change any of them without telling anybody who reproduces them. Line A is Vitrasa’s. The tariff back into the airport is the city council’s. The queue at the baggage belt belongs to nobody at all.
Galicia is one stop on a much wider map. Cars are arranged the same way for Santiago de Compostela, for Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao, and over the border for Porto. What the platform is and who runs it is on the about us page; practical questions about a booking are answered in the help pages; and whatever you want in writing beforehand is in the terms and conditions.
Not one amount on this whole page was set by us. The flat fare is Aena’s, the bus fare is Vitrasa’s, and the only figure of ours is the one on your confirmation.
Questions
Eighteen questions, each answered in its first sentence.
Every answer below starts with the answer itself. What follows is the reason, and where a fact belongs to Aena, to Vitrasa or to the city council, the answer says whose it is.
Aena publishes a flat fare of €25.50 for journeys that start at the airport and finish anywhere in the municipal regions of Vigo, Mos or Redondela. That is the rank fare and it runs one way only. A pre-booked private transfer is quoted separately, for your own journey, and the figure holds once you confirm it.
At the terminal, signposted from Arrivals. There is one passenger building here, so the walk is short however your aircraft parks. A car you booked in advance is a different arrangement and will not be waiting in the rank queue.
Yes, and a pre-booked car is the only one that arrives already knowing your name, your flight and your address. Give the flight number, the full destination, the party size and an honest bag count; the flight is then watched from the number you gave.
At the point your confirmation names. Aena publishes the taxi stop and the Express car park and no private-hire bay of its own, so the meeting arrangement comes from the operator sending the car. Read the confirmation before the doors open rather than after.
Published figures differ: around 9 kilometres on some, 10 on others, and the airport itself prints neither. The road distance to your own address is what actually matters, and the city is steep enough that the last part of the drive is rarely the shortest part of the map.
Nobody official publishes a figure for the drive, so none is invented here. The airport is on a plateau above the city and the road descends into it; what decides the time is the address, the hour and how deep into the old town you are going.
In one direction and for three municipalities, yes: €25.50 from the airport to anywhere in Vigo, Mos or Redondela, as Aena publishes it. Anywhere else in Galicia it does not apply, and for the journey back into the airport Aena says the fare set by Vigo City Council applies instead.
Yes, as a quoted private journey. Pontevedra is outside the flat-fare area, so the price comes from the address, the vehicle and the hour rather than from Aena’s published figure.
Yes. Baiona is a regular request from this airport, and the detail that matters is the exact accommodation: several addresses inside the old streets and around the Monte Real walls cannot be reached by car, so the booking needs the nearest point a vehicle can stop.
Yes, to Sanxenxo, Portonovo and the hotels and apartments around them. In July and August allow for the season: the approach roads and the last few streets both take longer than the distance suggests.
Yes, as a longer arranged journey. Much of Santiago’s historic centre is closed to traffic, so the transfer sets you down at the nearest accessible point and the last few minutes are on foot. The city has its own airport page as well, which is the one most walkers fly home from.
A cross-border transfer can be requested and is confirmed as available before it is quoted. The road runs through Tui and Valença and down the Minho; everybody in the party needs their travel documents, and tolls and the route are part of the quotation rather than a surprise at the end of it.
A journey between Vigo Airport and Porto Airport can be requested where the route is supported. They are different airports in different countries, so leave real time for the road and for check-in at the far end: a missed connection cannot be re-driven.
It is one of the handiest arrivals for the Portuguese route. Tui, Redondela, O Porriño, Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis and Padrón are all reached by road from here, and a transfer takes a walking party to the albergue or trailhead it actually wants rather than to the nearest town centre.
Yes. Aena lists Line A, run by Vitrasa, from the outside pavement at Arrivals, and Vitrasa says it runs on average every 36 minutes on weekdays, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons, and every 60 minutes on Sunday mornings. It links at Urzáiz with the railway station and the bus station.
They are available on request and there is no charge. Say how many you need and how old the children are: an infant carrier, a toddler seat and a booster are different fittings, and the right one has to be in the car before it sets off.
Nothing at all, as long as the booking carries the flight number: the car follows the aircraft and not the schedule. The allowance is measured from the landing — an hour on an arrival, and ninety minutes where the baggage hall is what is keeping you.
Yes: from the city, from anywhere along the coast, or from northern Portugal on the routes that are supported. Send the pick-up address, the flight, the party and the bags, and the hour is calculated back from when your check-in shuts.
The flat fare belongs to Aena and the bus fare to Vitrasa, and either can be revised without warning anybody who has copied it. That is why the owner of every figure is named where the figure appears.
Four answers: the flight, the full street address at the far end, who is travelling, and how many cases are really coming off the belt. Out of those comes a single vehicle at a single agreed figure, with the aircraft watched on the number you gave and the meeting point written into your confirmation — so nobody steps out at Vigo-Peinador wondering whether to queue or look for a name board.
