Our motivation was very straightforward – to make group transport around Barcelona easy, fairly priced, and reliable. People who were trying to organize transportation for weddings, school trips, or tours for cruise passengers understand why things can go wrong — wrong vehicles' capacity, drivers with poor local knowledge or not being aware of the route, prices increasing when it becomes difficult to change the transport provider once the agreement is signed. Therefore, we aimed to provide people with an easy booking process and high-quality services at reasonable prices.
How We Work
Our service works on matching the proper vehicle depending on the actual needs of the client, and not on offering all the available vehicles for hire. The size of the vehicle depends on passenger numbers, luggage capacity, need for extra space for wheelchairs or strollers, number of stops, etc., and we discuss all the needs before making a recommendation. Such preliminary preparation will help us to prevent possible last-minute problems, which can spoil the holiday experience.
As it is important for us to provide transportation for the drivers with local experience, we hire professional drivers, licensed to drive a minibus, midi-coach or a big coach, which can cope with Barcelona's local routes. Our professional drivers are licensed to work with passenger transport, know how to cope with restricted streets for coaches, loading and parking zones, and how traffic flows along the Ronda routes. This level of local knowledge could not be achieved without many years of experience of driving in Barcelona and its region. This local knowledge is our competitive advantage, which helps us to provide high-level services.
What We Believe is Important in This Business
The service that requires special transport and drivers usually consists of many important elements that do not appear in a quotation but influence the experience greatly. We believe that it is better to clarify vehicle age, licenses, conditions of the driver's employment, insurance coverage, what to do in case of vehicle breakdowns, delays in flights or plans changing, etc. All the vehicles we offer pass regular roadworthiness check-ups; our drivers have professional licenses for passenger transportation in accordance with Spanish and EU legislation regarding rest periods and vehicle condition. Our clients can expect to know exactly, in advance, what is included in the final price – tolls, parking costs, and driver's salary for multi-day trips.
Where We Work
Even though we based our operation in Barcelona, our booking orders cover the territory not only of this city, but also Catalonia and even Spain. There are day trips offered to such places as Montserrat, Sitges, Girona, and Tarragona. There are longer excursions offered to the famous amusement park, PortAventura World, and the small Costa Brava villages of Toss de Mar, Floret de Mar and Cadaqués. We also provide airport transfers to/from Barcelona—El Prat, Girona-Costa Brava, and Reus airports and port transfers to/from the biggest Port of Barcelona, where more passengers arrive per day in the peak period than anywhere else in the Mediterranean Sea. For clients which require a slightly smaller vehicle, there is also the option of a private taxi booking service.
In this way, we have the same routes every month of the year. This allows us to provide a reliable estimation of the time required for each trip in comparison with guessing by a driver who had never done this particular route before.
Our Clients
Our clients include families, schools organizing educational trips, wedding parties requiring guests' transportation, corporations having conference visits in Barcelona and cruise passengers making a shore excursion. As you can see, our clients are interested in different elements of transport provision – families are interested in price, schools in safety and punctuality, wedding parties in presentation, corporations in professionalism. Depending on the client, we approach his order differently.
Why Do We Do It
Group transport organization is not the most interesting part of holiday planning, but it can really determine how this day will end. It is better to have a vehicle arriving at the agreed time in advance, knowing the driver how and where to park the vehicle, and choosing a vehicle with the appropriate capacity. We believe that this is how to provide a high quality trip organization, be it a quick airport transfer or a long tour.
If you are thinking about your trip and not sure of the size of the needed vehicle and the type of service, feel free to contact us.
