Taxi from Moncloa to Madrid Airport: Argüelles, the bus interchange and Ciudad Universitaria

Moncloa is the gateway into Madrid for anyone arriving by intercity bus from the towns along the A-6. If you are coming from the mountains or the north-west with your suitcases and your flight leaves that same day, crossing the city by metro with changes all the way to Barajas is tiresome. You can book the taxi with pickup next to the interchange at the time your bus arrives: mention it in the comments and we will confirm the meeting point.

Ciudad Universitaria (the university campus area) is home to the campuses of the Universidad Complutense and the Universidad Politécnica, as well as numerous halls of residence. At the start and end of each academic year, many students, including exchange students, travel with all their belongings: large suitcases, boxes, sometimes a bicycle. For that, a 7-seater taxi with a large boot is the most comfortable option, also if several of you get together to go to the airport on the same day.

We also pick up around the district's hospitals, such as the Clínico San Carlos or the Fundación Jiménez Díaz, for relatives and patients arriving in or leaving Madrid by plane.

For Moncloa and Argüelles the journey has the fixed inside-the-M-30 fare: €33 to any terminal, the same there and back. The Moncloa-Aravaca district is very large and extends beyond the M-30: Aravaca, for example, has its own fare. If your address is outside the central area, enter it in the booking form and you will see the fixed price that applies before you confirm.

You pay online when you book, by card through the secure Redsys gateway, or to the driver, by card or in cash. Booking costs nothing and you can do it days in advance or for today.

If you are arriving by plane, book the pickup at the terminal with your flight number: we check the terminal, confirm where the driver will be waiting for you and take you to your home, your hall of residence or the interchange if you are continuing your journey by bus. If your flight time changes, let us know by phone or WhatsApp. For international flights from T4, remember that it is best to arrive about 3 hours before; on our blog we explain how early to get to T4.
