I need the name of a reliable transfer company from airport to hotel hotel to cruise terminal, and cruise terminal to airport. One of our travelers has limited mobility and we are all in our 70s and would prefer to have a secured drivers as opposed to waiting on taxis. There are six of us in our party.

First off, you’ll find that dedicated private transfer companies are a bit of a rarity in Barcelona. The reason is simple: our public transport (Metro, buses, and the ubiquitous black-and-yellow taxis) is actually world-class, leaving very little room for private operators to compete.
If you need the peace of mind of a scheduled pick-up, don't overcomplicate it with "private transfers." Just arrange a specific time with one of the many reliable taxi companies in the city.
Here are a few established options you can look up online to book in advance:
- Radio Taxi Barcelona: One of the biggest and most reliable fleets.
- Taxi Class: A great choice if you’re looking for a slightly more premium or "executive" feel.
- Taxi Ecòlogic: Perfect if you prefer hybrid or electric vehicles.
- Free Now (App): This is the go-to app for locals; it allows you to book a standard taxi in advance directly from your phone.
A quick search for any of these will give you their contact details and booking platforms. It's the most "Barcelona" way to handle a scheduled trip without paying the premium of a private chauffeur.
