Reliability

What we guarantee, exactly

No adjectives: what happens in each case. If any of this is not met, what you are owed is in writing.

The price does not change afterwards
You see the full amount before you confirm, with every surcharge or supplement on its own line, and it is fixed when you confirm: it does not change afterwards. It only varies if you alter the route, add stops or there is a long wait, and you are told before that happens.
Confirmed on the spot
If a car is free for your time, the booking is confirmed instantly with its tracking code. If it is not, we tell you straight away and offer the nearest time: we do not leave you waiting for an answer.
We assign the car that arrives soonest
You do not pick a driver or wait for someone to accept: the trip goes to the soonest available licensed car for your time and area. And you are not left with an anonymous stranger: before pickup you have the plate, the model and the driver's name, and while the car is on its way you can follow it on the map and call.
We wait at no charge
15 complimentary minutes at airports and stations, and 5 at an address. The clock starts when the car reaches the pickup point, not at the booked time: if the driver is late, you do not pay for those minutes.
To the airport, by the toll road if needed
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. With less margin, the toll is itemised in the quote like any other.
Free cancellation
More than 24 hours ahead you get a full refund. After that the published policy applies, and it is written down before you pay rather than afterwards.
We check your flight
With the flight number we check the arrival time before setting off and adjust the pickup at no cost. The car waits 15 minutes at no charge, counted from when the driver arrives.
Every trip, documented
Before departure the route sheet is issued and filed with the register Spanish transport rules require. It is not red tape: it is the difference between a legal service and one that is not.
What the law limits

We only sell what we are allowed to provide

Transfers are provided by our partner taxi and private hire (VTC) operators, each under their own licence or authorisation, and each licence allows some things and not others. That is applied before you get a price, not after you are charged: when no partner can serve the trip under their licence, it does not come with an amount or a booking button. We tell you why, and who can take you instead.

Within one municipality a VTC operator cannot drive you
A VTC authorisation covers intercity transport: from one town to another. A trip that starts and ends inside the same municipality is urban service and belongs to licensed taxis, because Castilla y León has not opened it to VTC operators. The quote engine checks that before pricing: if the trip is internal there is no amount and no booking button; we tell you why, and that the local taxi is who takes you there. And there is no exception for convenience: without a taxi licence behind it, that trip is not accepted through any channel — not the website, not WhatsApp, not the phone.
The tariff set by the town hall is not touched
When the trip is served by a licensed taxi, we do not set the price: the town's by-law does — flag drop, per-kilometre bands, minimum fare and scheduled supplements — and that is what the system works out and charges. 69 by-laws have been loaded and checked against the published document, and the calculation reproduces them. No platform discount below and no surcharge above: a price that is not the by-law's is not an offer, it is a breach the driver answers for.
There is nothing to hail: the service is booked beforehand
A VTC cannot be hailed in the street or wait at a rank. Every service is booked before it starts and is recorded with the exact time of booking, which is the one carried onto the route sheet. For you that has one concrete advantage: before leaving home you know the price, the car and who is driving.
The 20% rule, counted trip by trip
Our partner VTC operators' cars must habitually serve transport needs connected with Castilla y León: a trip that both starts and ends outside the region counts against a 20% limit, and exceeding it costs the holder their authorisation. Every booking is classified by the region of pickup and of destination, the back office keeps the monthly and yearly count and warns before the margin runs out. We would rather turn down a transfer that is not ours than put the driver's licence at risk.

Every line above is a fare we do not take and someone else would. We give them up on purpose, because a service that cannot legally be provided is not cheaper: it is the one that leaves no car at your door and the driver facing a penalty notice. If another app quotes you for a trip that starts and ends inside your own town, ask which licence it is served under; the fine is not paid by the app.

Within Palencia and to neighbouring provinces

It is not all about Madrid: we also drive between the towns of the province, to its stations, hospitals and sights, and to the surrounding capitals, at the same fixed price.

Service areas

Venta de Baños is the northern plateau's rail junction and Palencia is ten minutes away, so much of the work is connecting with trains at hours when no bus runs. The north of the province — Aguilar de Campoo and the Romanesque trail — works the other way round: weekend tourism goes up, and people come down for appointments at the Río Carrión hospital.

The province of Palencia, area by area

Palencia province stretches from south to north: at the bottom, the capital and El Cerrato, flat and close to Valladolid; in the middle, Tierra de Campos, crossed by the Camino de Santiago through Frómista and Carrión; at the top, the Montaña Palentina, with Aguilar de Campoo, Guardo and its Romanesque churches. Each band looks somewhere different: the south to Valladolid and Madrid, the north to Cantabria.

Palencia capital

The city of Palencia, on the Carrión river, holds the hospital, the high-speed station, provincial government offices and most services. People come in daily from across the province for appointments and errands, and many connections with trains and with Valladolid start here.

El Cerrato

El Cerrato, south-east of the capital, is an area of high moors and valleys whose towns are closely tied to Palencia and Valladolid. Villamuriel works almost as a suburb of the capital, Venta de Baños is a historic railway junction and Dueñas sits beside the A-62, halfway to Valladolid.

Tierra de Campos palentina

Carrión de los Condes is the main town on the French Way of the Camino de Santiago in the province and the centre of a farming area of Tierra de Campos. It receives pilgrims for much of the year and generates transfers for pilgrims who break off their walk, as well as trips by residents to Palencia.

Montaña Palentina

The Montaña Palentina is the north of the province, in the Cantabrian mountains: Aguilar de Campoo, with its biscuit industry and monastery, and Guardo, a former mining area. It is a land of Romanesque churches and a natural park, with weekend tourism, and it is far from the hospital in Palencia.

Vega-Valdavia y Boedo-Ojeda

The centre and north of the province before the mountains: Saldaña, in the Carrión valley, and Herrera de Pisuerga, by the river and the Canal de Castilla. They are market towns serving many small villages, and depend on Palencia for the hospital and the train.

Busiest times of year

  • Camino de Santiago season (spring to autumn): The French Way crosses the province through Frómista and Carrión de los Condes, and in good weather many pilgrims pass through. Some need to skip a stage, return home after an injury or reach their starting point from the station.
  • San Antolín festivities (early September): The festivities of San Antolín, Palencia's patron saint, fill the capital in early September with concerts, bullfights and the opening of the cathedral crypt. Night-time returns to El Cerrato and the villages are the most in demand.
  • Holy Week in Palencia (Easter week): The Holy Week processions wind through central Palencia and close streets for several days, at a time when many people are also leaving on holiday for Madrid and the Cantabrian coast.
  • Summer in the Montaña Palentina (June to September): In summer tourism rises in the north of the province — reservoirs, Romanesque churches, the natural park — and traffic grows on the A-67 towards Cantabria. At weekends visits mix with trips to Santander.

Booking tips

  • If you live in the south of the province and cannot find a train from Palencia at your time, compare with Valladolid: it has more services to Madrid and is close by on the A-62.
  • From Aguilar de Campoo, consider Santander airport before Barajas: it is considerably closer and the A-67 goes straight there.
  • If you are a pilgrim needing to skip a stage, give the hostel or exact spot on the Camino for pickup and how many backpacks you have.
  • For early flights from the Montaña Palentina in winter, allow extra time: with snow or ice on the passes, the first hours are the slowest.

Where we take most people

All destinations

Places where a car with a driver beats driving yourself: because of the timetable, the parking or because nobody wants to drive back.

Madrid South bus station

from 265 €

Estación Sur is the long-distance coach hub for half of Spain, in Méndez Álvaro, away from the centre. With luggage, a seven o'clock connection or a night arrival, a door-to-door transfer pays for itself.

See prices and times →

IFEMA and Madrid trade fairs

from 255 €

During a trade fair the problem is not getting there: it is arriving on time with two colleagues, the stand material and no parking hunt. We cover whole fairs with staggered pickups and month-end invoicing.

See prices and times →

Palencia station

from 18 €

Palencia and Venta de Baños form the junction most of Spain's northern trains pass through. Many connections fall at hours with no bus — first thing, overnight, Sunday night — and then only a car will do.

See prices and times →

Río Carrión Hospital (Palencia)

from 18 €

The Río Carrión serves the entire province, including the Montaña Palentina, an hour and a half away on the A-67. Coming down for an appointment and back the same day without your own car is mostly a question of timetables.

See prices and times →

Madrid hospitals

from 257 €

An early specialist appointment in Madrid means leaving before dawn, and coming back means waiting for a bus after a procedure. A door-to-door transfer avoids both: you leave at a reasonable hour and return when the patient is ready.

See prices and times →

Parque Warner Madrid

from 293 €

A theme-park day with children ends with everyone tired, and that is exactly when someone has to drive an hour home. With a driver, someone else handles the return and the whole group travels together in one vehicle.

See prices and times →

Matches and concerts in Madrid

from 262 €

A night match or a concert ends after the last train back to Castilla y León has gone. With a driver you go and return the same night, without driving after the game and without circling for a parking space two kilometres from the ground.

See prices and times →

Valladolid-Villanubla airport

from 66 €

Villanubla is twelve kilometres from Valladolid on the León road and handles few flights a day: you arrive early and leave at much the same hour, with very little bus service around it.

Do we come to your town?

We pick up anywhere in Palencia and the rest of Castilla y León, and we take you anywhere in Spain. If your town is not on the map we still come: message us for a price.

Advance booking

How it works

You request the trip, we give you the fixed price and assign the car that can reach your pickup soonest. Because a Spanish VTC cannot be hailed and everything is booked in advance, you know the price, the car and the driver before you leave home.

  1. 1

    Book in advance

    Request on the map, fill in the form or call us. Advance booking is mandatory for Spanish private hire: we cannot pick you up without one.

  2. 2

    See the fixed price before giving your details

    The price appears at once and the soonest available car is assigned for your time. You can pay online by card when you confirm (Apple Pay and Google Pay if your phone has them). The amount is the one agreed: it does not change on the way.

  3. 3

    We issue the route sheet

    Before the trip starts we generate and file the paperwork required by Spanish transport regulations.

  4. 4

    We pick you up on time

    Before pickup you know who is coming: their name, their phone and the car's plate. And you can follow the car on the map on its way.

Our fleet

The vehicles the service runs on. You choose the class; we assign the actual car — the one that reaches your pickup soonest — and tell you which it is, with its plate and the name of the driver.

We are updating the fleet details. Ask us about the vehicle when booking and we will confirm it.

Approved child seats at no extra cost and passenger insurance in force. Inspections up to date.

Frequently asked questions

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 y León?

The big apps do not cover Castilla y León the way they cover Madrid or Barcelona. In most towns in Ávila, Burgos, León, Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid and Zamora 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.

Is the price I see the final price?

When it says “closed price”, yes: VAT included, fixed when you confirm, and it would only change if you alter the route, add stops or there is a long wait, and you are told first. There are two cases where the screen says something else: an “on request” vehicle is confirmed before anything is charged, and if you pick a driver's bid you pay that price on its conditions (no time change and no refundable cancellation). The price comes from our fare, or from the fare of the fleet that runs it if it has an approved one; if you don't pick anyone, you pay our fare.

What if my flight or train is delayed?

If you give us the flight or train number we adjust the pickup to the actual arrival time, and the waiting included at airports and stations is more generous than at an address: the exact minutes are in the terms of service.

How do I pay?

You can pay online by card when you confirm (Apple Pay and Google Pay if your phone has them). The amount is the one agreed: it does not change on the way.

Do you issue company invoices?

Yes. Enter your tax details when booking and you will receive an invoice with VAT broken out. For companies with recurring travel we offer consolidated monthly invoicing.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes, we carry approved child restraint systems. Tell us the child's age and weight when booking so we fit the right seat, at no extra cost.

Shall we book your transfer?

Tell us where, when and how many. We confirm a fixed price and the vehicle within minutes.
