Hya you all Madridians,

How much can I expect to pay for a cab for two people with luggage from the airport to the city center:
- to the airport at 11pm Thursday
- from the airport at 3pm on Dia Hispanidad

Are we likely to get ripped-off? Can this be avoided?

Cheers,

Yuval

A taxi from the airport to the city centre should be around 20-25 €. Don't worry about the luggage because they don't charge a supplement for the luggage anymore.

As for being ripped-off you'll find a brochure at the airport with the Madrid taxi fare system and with the estimated price to some well-known destinations in the city centre. With that information in mind, the taxi driver shouldn't rip you off. If he tries, you can ask for an official receipt making sure he/she fills in all the information specially the license number. With that you can make a complaint at the city council.

If you use Aero-City the fees are set and you will not get ripped off!!

Both trips are in tarifa 2, one is after 10 p.m. and the other is in a holiday, I think Antonio has noticed it, and with 25€ it should be more than enough, anyway, I would tell the driver, so that he will know that I know the price of the trip.
