Taxi & Transfers from Madrid Airport (MAD) to Madrid

How to Get from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid?

Adolfo Suárez Madrid‑Barajas Airport (MAD) stands about fifteen kilometres north‑east of Puerta del Sol. A Madrid Airport taxi transfer from Kiwitaxi reaches the historic core in roughly twenty‑five minutes and the fare stays locked isnt it.

Why Book a Transfer Rather Than a Rank Taxi?

White city taxis at the curb start counting the moment the door shuts and every traffic light on the A‑2 lifts the figure. A pre‑paid Madrid Airport transfer shows the whole price before payment so the budget stays calm. The driver meets you under the blue “MEETING POINT” sign and walks straight to a shaded lane.

Which Transport Methods Can You Take from the Terminal?

• Pre‑booked transfer – meet‑and‑greet, card paid online, direct hotel route.
• Madrid Airport taxi – queue at the white cab rank, pay whatever the meter shows at your gate.
• Cercanías C1 train – twenty‑seven‑minute hop to Atocha, then change to Metro for most barrios.
• Exprés Aeropuerto bus – low fare to Cibeles though luggage racks fill fast at noon.

An Exprés ticket is €5 and the coach runs thirty‑five minutes, then travellers drag cases onto a Metro platform and the price gap shrinks when two people share a cab.

Kids & Pets: Extra Options

Add up to three child seats while booking, each seat costs €5. Spanish law needs a proper restraint until the child reaches 135 cm so picking the right size matters.

One cat or dog travels per car with the €6 pet add‑on; carriers or seat covers keep interiors clean, large breeds need a minivan.
