6 seater taxi in Barcelona
The size most groups actually need. Five or six people do not fit a saloon, but they do not need an eight-seat van either — and paying van rates for six people is money thrown away.
Minivan
Five or six passengers with room for their luggage.
Example: 6 passengers, airport to the city centre — €48, all in.
Why five people are the awkward number
A standard taxi seats four passengers. Add one more and you are into a different vehicle entirely, which is why a group of five so often ends up in two cars, paying twice and arriving separately.
A six-seat taxi solves it in one booking. Five or six passengers, their luggage, one price, one driver, one meeting point.
The vehicle
A Volkswagen Caddy in Barcelona taxi livery: two rows behind the driver, sliding side doors and a proper boot. It is a smaller and more economical vehicle than the eight-seat van, and it is priced accordingly — which is the point of having both.
Six passengers with six cabin bags and a few suitcases is comfortable. Six passengers each with a large case is the limit; if that is you, the larger van is the safer booking and I will say so.
What it costs against the alternatives
Cheaper than the eight-seat van, because it is priced at a lower rate per kilometre. Cheaper than two saloons for most trips, and considerably simpler.
The figure comes from the official metropolitan tariff for the real distance you travel. Put your addresses into the booking form and you will see the exact price for six people before you send anything.
Questions and answers
Can a Barcelona taxi take 5 or 6 passengers?
Yes, in a six-seat taxi. A standard saloon is limited to four, so five or more needs the larger vehicle — which is chosen automatically when you set the passenger count in the booking form.
Is a 6 seater cheaper than a 7 or 8 seater?
Yes. It is a smaller, more economical vehicle and is priced at a lower rate per kilometre. Book the size you actually need rather than the largest available.
Will six people and six suitcases fit?
Six with cabin bags and a few cases, comfortably. Six each with a large suitcase is the limit — tell me what you are carrying and I will recommend the right vehicle honestly.
