When a taxi makes sense
For daytime arrivals heading to Girona city, a taxi is simple. Join the rank and you do not need to plan ahead. The fare is regulated: the council's 2026 tariff is EUR 0.82 per km on weekdays between 08:00 and 20:00 and EUR 0.89 per km otherwise, with a minimum fare and a EUR 4.60 airport supplement. Aena notes that the meter does not include supplements that may apply.
Taxis also work for solo travellers or couples who prefer not to pre-book.
When a private transfer may suit you better
If you arrive late, taxi availability may be limited, and a pre-booked transfer gives you a price and meeting point agreed in advance. Ask at booking whether flight tracking is included.
For Barcelona-bound passengers, compare a transfer quote with the taxi per-km scale plus supplements and with the Sagalés coach (EUR 35 return).
Families needing child seats should not count on a taxi having one. Request a seat when you book a transfer.
Groups heading to Costa Brava resorts
If your destination is Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar or Platja d'Aro, a taxi is metered on the per-km scale plus the EUR 4.60 airport supplement. Ask the driver for an estimate before setting off, and compare it with a transfer quote for your group size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Girona Airport taxis metered?
Yes. Aena states that taxis at the rank use a taximeter. Fares run on the regulated interurban scale: EUR 0.82 per km on weekdays between 08:00 and 20:00 and EUR 0.89 per km otherwise, plus a EUR 4.60 airport supplement. For long-distance trips like Barcelona, agree an estimate before departure.
Can I get a taxi from Girona Airport at midnight?
Possibly, but availability may be limited after the last flights. If your flight lands late, consider a pre-booked transfer.
Do Girona Airport taxis accept credit cards?
Ask the driver before the trip starts; the sources we checked do not say. Carry some cash as a backup.
Is a private transfer to Barcelona cheaper than a taxi?
It depends on the quote and the meter. A taxi is charged on the per-km scale plus supplements over a long distance; a transfer is quoted at booking. Compare a transfer quote with the taxi estimate for your date.
