Private transfers from Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport
Madrid-Barajas is Spain's busiest airport and Iberia's home base, on the north-east edge of the capital. The city centre is close: about 25 minutes by car to Gran Vía outside the rush hours, a little less to the Salamanca district and the Castellana.
We run fixed-price transfers from every terminal to central Madrid, including hotels inside the Distrito Centro low-emission zone, and quote any address in the region: the IFEMA fairgrounds, Atocha and Chamartín stations, Alcalá de Henares, El Escorial, Toledo and Segovia. Your driver meets you in arrivals, so there is no taxi queue and no Metro changes with luggage.
Arriving at Madrid Airport: where to meet your driver
Barajas has two terminal groups a few kilometres apart: T1, T2 and T3 side by side, and T4 with its satellite T4S. Arrivals at T1, T2 and T4 are on floor 0. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal holding a sign with your name, then walks you to the car in the terminal car park. If you land at T4S, take the underground train to the main T4 building first.
