Given the lack of a direct connection into and out of Gibraltar, my wife and I are considering hiring a private car with driver. We were quoted a price of 260 Euros for the 2 hour, 15 minute, ride from Seville to Gibraltar and then, a few days later, 310 Euros for the 3 hour ride from Gibraltar to Granada, for door to door service from and to our hotels in each location, which covers the two of us, with luggage.
I know it's expensive, but our goal is to have a relaxing trip and save time, energy and aggravation. I was considering renting a car, but the driving, particularly the 3 hour ride to Granada, with the challenge of unfamiliar terrain, Spanish road signs and traffic, will be tiring particularly inasmuch as we plan to begin a 3 hour tour of the Alhambra shortly after arrival. And there is the issue of parking both in Gibraltar and Granada, which is also an expense.
What do you think? Are we paying too much?
p.s. In this first time trip to Spain we will be visiting Madrid, Toledo (day trip), Seville, Gibraltar, Granada and Barcelona, in that order.
