Private car tours with driver in Barcelona
Your own car and driver from the hotel or the port, by the hour: the Sagrada Família and Park Güell from outside, Montjuïc, the seafront or the coast to Sitges, at your pace. A driver, not a tour guide: you choose the stops.

How it works
A tour by car, booked as a car with driver by the hour
You book the hours, not a fixed tour: the driver collects you at your hotel, the port or Barcelona airport, takes you to the stops you choose and waits at each one. The price is per vehicle for the hours booked, whatever the number of people in it.
Our drivers know the area and the best places to stop, but they are drivers, not official tour guides: there is no guided visit, and tickets for monuments and museums are not included. If you want a guide, book one separately and the driver takes you both.
- You decide the stops and the pace, and they can change during the day.
- Luggage stays in the car while you visit.
- One vehicle for the whole group, with child seats on request (extra charge).
How it works
Book in two clicks, at a fixed price
Choose the day, a half day (4 hours), a full day (8 hours) or the hours you need, from 3 to 12. You see the total price of each vehicle straight away, worked out by our system for that day and time. Press «Book», enter your name, email, phone and the hotel or pickup address, and pay by card on the bank’s secure page.
If the plan changes during the day, tell the driver or our team: as long as the vehicle is available, we adapt the route within the hours booked. Any extension is agreed with you first.
For several days in a row, choose how many: each day has its own price and you pay for everything at once.
Route ideas
Three routes in the Barcelona area
Gaudí and Montjuïc in a morning
The Sagrada Família and Park Güell from outside, Passeig de Gràcia and its façades, then Montjuïc and its viewpoints over the city and the port. With a timed ticket you can go in to the Sagrada Família: we plan the stop around your entry time.
The coast and Sitges
South along the coast through Castelldefels and the Garraf to Sitges: the old town, the promenade and lunch by the sea, then back to the hotel.
A last day before you travel on
Suitcases in the boot after check-out, a few stops in the city, the Boqueria market or the seafront, and back to the hotel or the port for your transfer to France.
Further afield
Montserrat, Girona or Figueres: quote on WhatsApp
Hourly booking covers the Barcelona area: the city, the airport, the port, Castelldefels and Sitges. Trips further away, such as Montserrat, Girona or Figueres, are quoted individually: write to us on WhatsApp with the day, the people and the pickup, and we send you a written quote before any payment.
Groups of more than 8 travel in a 14-seat van or a 22-seat minibus, also by quote: see the fleet. The ride to France is booked separately, with its fixed price, in the booking tool.
What is included
What the hourly price includes
The price includes the driver, the vehicle, fuel, waiting time between stops and 25 km for every hour booked: 100 km for a half day and 200 km for a full day. Tolls and parking within the Barcelona area are included too.
If you go over the kilometres, the extra is invoiced afterwards at the vehicle’s price per km, based on the GPS log of the service. For trips outside the area we prepare a quote first.
Licence and invoice
VTC licence, insurance and a proper invoice
Every service is made in a vehicle with a VTC licence for passenger transport, with a professional driver and compulsory passenger insurance. Journeys are logged by GPS, and the invoice is issued with VAT in your name or your company’s, with your purchase order reference if you need one.
Vehicles
Choosing the vehicle
For one to three people, a saloon is usually enough. For families or small teams with luggage, an 8-seat van gives you the space you need. For larger groups we combine vehicles. Tell us the luggage you carry and we recommend the right category.
Frequently asked questions
Can the tour end with the ride to France?
Yes, as two bookings: the tour by the hour in the Barcelona area, then the transfer to your town in France at its fixed price. On the same day we arrange the hand-over from the hotel or the port.
Is the driver a tour guide?
No. Our drivers are professionals who know the area and the stops, but they are not official tour guides and do not give guided visits. If you want a guide, book one separately and the driver takes you both.
Are tickets included?
No. The price covers the car, the driver and the hours booked. Buy timed tickets in advance and tell us the time: we plan the stop around it.
Can we go beyond the zone?
Yes, with a quote: anything outside the hourly zone is quoted in writing on WhatsApp before any payment.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
Yes: 3 hours. The maximum is 12 hours a day; above 10 hours the driver may change for rest.
How many kilometres are included?
25 km for every hour booked: 100 km for a half day and 200 km for a full day. If you go over, the extra is invoiced afterwards at the vehicle’s price per km, based on the GPS log of the service.
Are tolls and parking extra?
Within the Barcelona area, tolls and parking are included in the price. For trips outside the area we prepare a quote.
Why does the price change with the day?
The price depends on the day, the time and how far ahead you book: it rises as the day gets closer and on dates with high demand. You see it before you pay, with the date from which it changes.
Can the plan change during the day?
Yes. Within the booked hours the driver adapts the route to your agenda, as long as the vehicle is available. Any extension is agreed with you first.
Can I book a car by the hour online?
Yes, on this page: choose the day, the hours and the vehicle, enter your details and pay by card. If you prefer a written quote (several vehicles or a programme over several days), write to us by email or WhatsApp.
How is it invoiced?
With VAT, in your name or your company’s, with your VAT number and any purchase order reference you need.
Can I cancel an hourly booking?
Yes, on the same terms as a transfer: cancellation is free with 24 hours or more notice. The full conditions are linked before you pay.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, on request and for a supplement. Children count as passengers.
Can you carry a wheelchair?
Yes, if it folds: it travels in the boot. We do not have adapted vehicles with a ramp.
Would you rather talk to a person?
We answer 24 hours a day, every day, in English, Spanish, French and Catalan.
