Chauffeur Service in Barcelona
Licensed local chauffeurs for daily pickups and business days. Book one ride or keep the car for the whole day, with the price agreed before you travel.
Your Private Chauffeur in Barcelona, From Arrival to Last Appointment
Barcelona Wheels runs a chauffeur service in Barcelona for people who would rather someone else did the driving. You book a licensed driver and a clean, comfortable car, then use it however your day needs: a ride from El Prat to your hotel, or a car on standby while you get through your meetings. Your chauffeur gets there before you do and loads the bags, so you skip the taxi queue at the airport and never have to drag suitcases through the metro. If your plans change during the day, tell your chauffeur and the route changes with you. The price is fixed when you book, and tolls, parking and fuel are already in it.

Clean, air-conditioned cars on every trip.
-

How Chauffeur Hire Works
Share your plans
Give us your first pick-up, predicted finish and key stops. A rough itinerary is enough to begin.
Agree the booking
Confirm the vehicle, hours and route, including distance limits, parking and any extra-time charges.
Greet your Chauffeur
Your chauffeur is waiting before the pickup time. If anything changes on the day, you can message them.
A Chauffeur for Every Kind of Day
Book a Barcelona chauffeur for a day of meetings or a trip out of town. You set the times, and the car is there when you need it.
A driver for a day in Barcelona
Book a driver for a day in Barcelona and keep the same car and chauffeur from the morning pickup at your hotel until you're dropped off in the evening. A typical day might be Montserrat in the morning and a long lunch in Sitges, or the Sagrada Família and Park Güell before a dinner reservation. You don't have to look for parking or wait for a taxi between stops.
Send a rough plan when you book. Your chauffeur will suggest times that avoid the worst of the traffic and fit around opening hours. A full eight hour day with a private car with driver in Barcelona starts at €480 in an economy sedan. If you'd rather travel in a Mercedes S-Class, choose our executive car service Barcelona option. Trips to the Costa Brava, Girona or Andorra get a fixed quote in advance.
Hourly Chauffeur in Barcelona
If your day has several stops, booking by the hour is easier than ordering a new ride each time. An hourly chauffeur in Barcelona waits while you're in a meeting or shopping on Passeig de Gràcia, and the car is outside when you come out. Send your first pickup and a rough plan. You can change stops on the day, as long as you stay within the hours you booked.
Rates start at €60 an hour in an economy car, €70 in a standard sedan and €100 in an executive car, with a minimum of 2 hours. If a meeting runs over, extra time is charged at the same hourly rate, as long as the chauffeur is free. Booking a private car with driver in Barcelona by the hour works well on conference days, when you can't be sure what time each session will finish.
What Our Chauffeur Service Includes
Meet & greet
Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall or at the cruise terminal, holding a sign with your name on it.
Flight tracking & free waiting
We track your flight and move the pickup if it's late. You get 60 minutes' free waiting after landing, 30 at the cruise port and 15 elsewhere.
All inclusive price
The quote covers tolls, parking and fuel, so nothing is added at the end of the ride.
Free child seats
Baby seats and boosters are free. Tell us your children's ages when you book and we'll fit the right ones.
Book Private Chauffeur With Driver in Barcelona
People book us for different reasons. A sales director in town for two days of client visits books an executive chauffeur in Barcelona so the car is outside each office when the meeting ends. A family landing with four suitcases and a pushchair needs a van, with the child seats already fitted. Cruise passengers mostly need a ride from the ship to the airport or their hotel, without hunting for a taxi at the terminal. Wedding planners ask us for several cars that arrive at the same time. During Mobile World Congress, Formula 1 weekend and Primavera Sound, booking ahead also means you pay the same price you would on a quiet Tuesday.
Chauffeur hire in Barcelona with us isn't limited to the centre. Most weeks our cars run between El Prat, the cruise terminals, Sants station and hotels in Eixample and along the seafront. Business clients send us to offices on Diagonal and in 22@, to Fira Gran Via and to the CCIB. Leisure trips go further out: Sitges and Castelldefels for the beach, Montserrat, Girona, the Costa Brava and Andorra. All our cars meet the rules of Barcelona's low emission zone (ZBE), so the zone doesn't restrict where we can drive you. A trip out of the city is quoted as one price before you leave, and the quote doesn't change on the day.
Our chauffeurs live in Barcelona and have all been driving professionally for more than five years. Each one holds a VTC licence for private hire and speaks English and Spanish. They know that cars can't get into most of the Gothic Quarter, and that the airport run takes longer on a weekday morning than on a Sunday. Send us your pickup point and times, plus any stops, and we'll suggest a vehicle for your group and luggage and send you the price. Payment is online by card, Apple Pay or bank transfer. Company invoices are available, and cancelling is free up to 24 hours before pickup.
Faqs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a chauffeur service in Barcelona cost?
Hourly hire starts at €60 an hour in an economy sedan, €70 in a standard sedan, €80 in a standard van, €90 in a first class van, €100 in an executive sedan and €120 in a 14-seat minibus. One-way transfers start at €40 within the city and €60 from the airport or cruise port. Tolls, parking and fuel are part of the price.
Is there a minimum booking for an hourly chauffeur?
Yes, hourly bookings start from 2 hours. If you need the car for most of the day, an eight hour booking is usually simpler, and you keep the same chauffeur the whole time. Not sure how long you need? Send us your plan and we'll tell you what we'd book.
How is a private chauffeur different from a taxi or Uber in Barcelona?
With a private chauffeur in Barcelona, you agree the price when you book, and it stays the same during big events and rush hour. You pick the vehicle, anything from a sedan to a 14-seat minibus. Your chauffeur meets you with a name sign, follows your flight and can wait between stops. Child seats are fitted before pickup.
What happens if my flight is delayed or my meeting runs over?
We track your flight, so your chauffeur arrives for the time you actually land, and you have 60 minutes of free waiting after that. If a meeting runs over on an hourly booking, the extra time is charged at the vehicle's hourly rate, as long as the chauffeur is free. Let them know as soon as you can.
Where does the car wait between my stops?
Your chauffeur parks nearby and meets you at a spot you agree on. Call or send a message when you're on your way out. Any parking costs during your booking are already in the price.
Can my chauffeur pick me up in the Gothic Quarter or El Born?
Many streets in the Gothic Quarter and El Born are pedestrian only or closed to most cars. In that case your chauffeur meets you at the nearest point a car can reach, such as Via Laietana, and we confirm the exact spot with you before pickup.
Who are your chauffeurs?
They're Barcelona locals who have driven professionally for at least five years. Every chauffeur speaks English and Spanish and holds a VTC licence for private hire, and all our vehicles are insured for passenger transport. Our Google reviews average 5 stars.
Can your cars enter Barcelona's low emission zone (ZBE)?
Yes. Every vehicle in our fleet meets Barcelona's ZBE requirements, so the low emission zone doesn't affect your route or your price.
How do I pay? Can I pay in cash?
You pay online through Stripe with Visa, Mastercard or Apple Pay, or by bank transfer. We don't accept cash in the car. Company invoices are available on request.
