manime Posted March 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Have read a few posts on here regarding transport from the airport to the hotels and it is quite confusing. We are a family of 4 and wondering if the taxis would take all 4 of us with baggage or is it a 2 taxi run. Conflicting reports on here. Don't really want to split the family and I would rather just jump in a taxi and go straight to the hotel rather than sort out busses, trains, metro. We are staying at the Novotel Barcelona city. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollieUK Posted March 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Four people with luggage is a bit more than a standard small taxi can take. You have two options. 1.Wait for a van type taxi which takes 6 people or 4 people plus quite a bit of luggage. You could be lucky and get one quite quickly or you could have to wait some time. 2. Pre-book a private transfer of a vehicle which takes up go 7 people or 4 people with luggage. The difference in cost is about €35 for a 6 person taxi against about €70 for a pre-booked private transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted March 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Wait for a van type taxi...I doubt it would take that long at all as we saw some in the taxi line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campolady Posted March 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) There are plenty of taxis that take 4 people. If the first to reach you only takes 2 people just ask them to call a larger one to the front of the queue. If you don´t speak any Spanish just tell the driver ´quatro personas´ and he will understand. Edited March 17, 2014 by campolady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
