Hi
We do not allow posts asking for or recommending people to pick up or give lifts for airport transfers etc. We always advise to use a registered licenced taxi, which are usually hardly any more expensive than illegal taxis and have even been known to be cheaper. Also they are safer and fully insured for paying passengers and most of them speak English.
The police are getting tougher with illegal 'taxi' drivers and often stop them and fine them plus confiscate their vehicles, which can be extremely inconvenient for any passengers who will be left high and dry.
We have had complaints from registered taxi drivers that allowing these posts is encouraging the illegals to tout for business which is one of the good reasons we remove these posts.
You can get the details of licensed taxis in your area either online or by going into your local Ayuntamiento (town hall) and asking for a list or looking on their website and contacting them by email to ask , if there is no list shown on there.
Hopefully one or two of our members can give you the prices of a good legally registered taxi service in or near your area.
We hope you understand.
