Taxi & Transfers from El Prat Airport (BCN) to Malgrat de Mar

How to Get from Barcelona Airport to Malgrat de Mar

We’ve collected all the available transport options to get from Barcelona El Prat Airport to Malgrat de Mar. Cost — from €8 to €230. Travel time — from 59 minutes to 2 hours.

By Bus

If you’re traveling on a budget and want a direct ride, the bus might suit you. Several companies operate between the airport and Malgrat de Mar, including Sagalés and Flybus.

The ride takes about 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours. Tickets cost €14–€20. Buses leave multiple times a day — but not every hour — so timing is key. Space for luggage is limited, and there are no child seats on board.

By Train

The train is another affordable choice. You’ll take the R2N line from the airport to Barcelona-Sants, then change to R1, which goes to Malgrat de Mar.

The journey takes just over 2 hours and costs €8–€12. Trains run every 30 minutes. It’s easy enough if you’re comfortable with transfers, but hauling bags through busy stations can be tiring.

By Taxi

Want a fast, door-to-door ride? Taxis are available 24/7 at the airport. Just follow the signs to the rank outside the terminal.

The trip takes about 1 hour and costs between €180 and €230. That includes any night surcharges or extra baggage fees. It’s straightforward, but check with the driver if you need a child seat or plan to bring a pet — these aren’t always included.

By Private Transfer

If you’d rather plan everything in advance and avoid the crowds, book a private transfer. A driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign and helps with luggage right away.

With Kiwitaxi, the ride starts at €65. Prices vary depending on the car type — from economy to minibuses. Travel time is about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on traffic. It’s relaxed, fixed-fare, and comes with extra options.

Transfers cost 10–15% more than taxis. But they offer more: pre-arranged child seats, pet-friendly cars, and no guessing about the price. If comfort matters, it’s the better pick.

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

• Economy – for 1–2 passengers
• Comfort – for families and couples with luggage
• Minivan – for groups, extra luggage or strollers
• Business – for those who prefer more space and quiet

Traveling with Children

Trains and buses don’t provide child seats. And taxis? Sometimes they have them, sometimes they don’t — it’s hit or miss.

With Kiwitaxi, you can request the seat you need while booking. Infant, toddler, or booster — it’s ready when the car arrives. That’s less to carry and more peace of mind.

Traveling with Pets

Only small pets in carriers are allowed on public transport. Larger animals might not be welcome. In taxis, it’s up to the driver — and not all are okay with pets.

When you book a Kiwitaxi transfer, you can request a pet-friendly car. No explaining, no surprises. Everyone — including your furry companion — travels in comfort.

What to Expect in Malgrat de Mar

Malgrat de Mar is a chilled-out beach town on the Costa Brava. It’s great for families, quiet walks, and a bit of sun away from the city buzz. Long beaches, local cafes, and a relaxed vibe make it an easy place to unwind.

Getting there should feel just as smooth. Now that you know your options, you can choose what suits your style — and enjoy the ride before the real rest begins.
