Bilbao Airport Transfers



Bilbao is a city divided into two parts by the river Nervion. On the left-hand side of the river, you will find the industrial area with large factories manufacturing a wide variety of products, from aeronautical and railway equipment to tools and tyres. On the right side of the river are the commercial area and the historic centre. The city's two parts are linked by a total of nine bridges that span the river Nervion. Bilbao lies in a valley and is therefore affectionately known by the locals as botxo, meaning hole.



A lot of travellers arriving in Bilbao choose to take a taxi for their onward journey. But rather than queuing at the taxi rank, you might be better off with a pre-booked transfer, which has numerous advantages.



Why pre-book your Bilbao airport transfer?



To save time

Queuing at the airport's taxi rank can be time-consuming and is the last thing you want to do when you have just arrived in Bilbao! With a pre-booked transfer, your driver will already be waiting for you on your arrival at the airport, ready to take you straight to your holiday destination. And while some of your fellow passengers will still be waiting in a taxi queue, you will already be on your way to your accommodation.



To get the right-sized vehicle

A standard airport taxi is not permitted to carry more than 4 passengers - this includes babies and young children. Depending on the size of your family or group, you may therefore have to take more than one taxi, which can get very costly. When pre-booking a transfer, you have the option of selecting a larger vehicle. This will allow all of you to travel together and you won't have to pay twice!



To get good value for money

You may be surprised to hear that a pre-booked transfer does not cost you any more than a standard taxi from Bilbao Airport taxi rank. And, what's even better, with a pre-arranged transfer you tend to get a more comfortable and superior car.



To travel safely with your children

Standard airport taxis don't tend to carry a child or baby seat. With a pre-arranged transfer you have to option of selecting an appropriate seat for your children when you book, so you can be sure that your little ones will be travelling safely - just like they do at home.



To ensure peace of mind
Not knowing how much your taxi fare will be once you get there can be unsettling and doesn't make for a relaxing journey. When you book your transfer in advance, you will find out about the cost before you even complete your booking. The price is fixed, so there is no need to negotiate or worry. What's more, your driver knows exactly where you are going and will therefore not have any difficulties in finding the place.

Best experience with Solhop in Madrid! Easy to book via e-mail also in the short term, nice clean van, reasonable prices.

SolHoP provides great service. When we arrived, the driver waited for us even if we were late. And when we drove back to airport, the driver arrived on time. The customer service responses through email were also very quick and they answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. We will use this service again when we return.

Great service and reservation follow up to go from city center to Malaga airport Driver in perfect time and very kind!

ak_1357 (GR)

We were 5 people (inc. 3 kids) traveling from the center of Madrid to the Madrid airport. Given we had an early morning flight back to the U.S., we booked this taxi transfer. Booking was easy. The driver was very professional, on time, and the vehicle was very comfortable. I am glad we chose this service for an easy transfer at the beginning of a long journey home.

Carolnomad (GR)

The driver was really professional and I was delayed due to luggage issues so I called him and he waited patiently for me. The car provided was an upgrade and a nice surprise and the ride back was smooth. Nice welcome and fluent in english

TravelGuy0505 (GR)

We were 5 people travelling from our hotel in Granda to a hotel in Malaga. The booking process and journey were both very comfortable. The vehicle was on time and the driver was very professional and courteous. The 7 seater van was also of luxury class ( Mercedes).
