A QuickPickups service
How it works
A fixed price first, then a booking in your name
Choose where you start and where you are going, the date and how many of you are travelling. Between Barcelona or Girona airport and France, the widget shows the fixed price for each vehicle, tolls included, and you book and pay securely online. The booking is registered in the lead passenger’s name.
On the day, your driver waits in the arrivals hall, at the cruise terminal or at the address you gave us, holding a sign with your name. If you are flying in, we track your flight and adjust the pick-up time. Before the ride you receive the driver’s name and phone number and the car’s model and number plate.
The price is for the whole vehicle, not a vague “from” rate per person. Up to 22 passengers travel in one vehicle, from a saloon car to a 22-seat minibus; for a larger group, the widget prices several vehicles straight away.
Door-to-door comparison
Train, bus, own car or private driver: the real numbers for your group
Choose where you start, where you are going and how many of you are travelling. The private transfer price comes live from our booking engine; train, bus and tolls come from published fares, with their date. You decide.
The private transfer is priced for the whole vehicle; we divide it by the number of travellers so you can compare.

If you live in France
Flying from Barcelona or Girona: what time should you leave?
Perpignan-Rivesaltes airport has few routes and none to Spain: for most destinations you fly from Girona (≈ 1 h 20 from Perpignan) or Barcelona (≈ 2 h 30). Enter your flight time and we work out the pick-up for the worst case, border checks included.

Destinations
Where we take you
Perpignan
About two hours from Barcelona on the AP-7 and A9. The classic route for people living in the Pyrénées-Orientales who fly from Spain.
Collioure and Argelès-sur-Mer
The Côte Vermeille, straight from Barcelona or Girona airport to your hotel, campsite or holiday let.
Narbonne
The city, Gruissan or the Aude coastline, in a little over two and a half hours.
Carcassonne
The medieval Cité in one ride, around three and a quarter hours, luggage and all.
Toulouse
The city centre, a business address or Toulouse-Blagnac airport, in about four hours.
Montpellier
All the way along the A9 in about three and a half hours, to the city, the campus or the coast.
Pick-up points
Both directions, one simple rule
In Spain we work from Barcelona El Prat Airport (T1 and T2), anywhere in Barcelona (hotel, apartment, Sants station), Barcelona Cruise Port and Girona-Costa Brava Airport. In France, we collect you at your address or drop you there: Perpignan, the Côte Vermeille, Narbonne, Carcassonne, Toulouse or Montpellier.
The rule is simple: one end of the journey is always in Spain. We take you from Spain to France, or from France back to Spain, for example from your home in Perpignan to your flight at El Prat or to Girona airport. We never run journeys within France, such as Perpignan to Collioure.
Who it suits
Families, groups of up to 22 and travellers with luggage
A private transfer is built for people travelling with children, suitcases, a buggy or golf clubs, and for anyone landing early in the morning or late at night, when train connections get awkward. The price is per vehicle, not per person: for four or six people, the gap with the train narrows quickly.
If you are travelling alone, light and with a flexible schedule, the train or the bus may suit you perfectly well. We explain it plainly in our comparison guide.
- From a saloon car to a 22-seat minibus depending on passengers and luggage; for more, several vehicles priced in the widget.
- Child seats on request (small supplement).
- Drivers who know the cross-border motorway well.
- VAT invoice for business travel.
