General information

Barcelona Taxi General informations

Taxi service informationThe taxi service is governed by the Taxi Law and the Metropolitan Taxi Regulations. It operates with city fare rates for services within the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. The intercity fare, which is authorised by the Catalan Regional Government, is applied to routes outside of this geographic area.

If the passenger has luggage, the driver shall help him/her to load and unload it from the trunk of the car.

Children under the age of 12 must be seated in the back seat of the car and supervised so that they do not distract the driver.

Eating, drinking and smoking are not permitted during the ride, even if the driver and passenger agree otherwise.

If you would like for the taxi to wait for you after the first route, the driver may ask you to pay for the route covered thus far, in addition to the price of a half hour's wait time if in the city area and that of another hour if outside of the city, as a guarantee. If you have not returned by the end of such period, he/she may terminate the service.

The taxi is required to admit blind passengers accompanied by seeing eye dogs (Law of the Parliament of Catalonia 10/1993).
