Vigo Airport Transfers

If you are planning to travel to Vigo, I have good news, this city has its own airport! Vigo Airport, also known as Peinador Airport, is located about 12.8 kilometers from the center of Vigo. This translates to about 13 minutes by road if there are no obstacles or traffic on the road.

To get from the airport you can choose different options that take you to the center of the city. Getting to this destination is the ideal way to enjoy the best things to see and do in Vigo from the first day.

Hiring a transfer service from the airport to the center of Vigo or vice versa, is the best option. Although it is something you should book in advance, it allows you to get rid of stress and relieve your worries. You only need to provide your arrival or departure time for the driver to be on time at the address you provide.

One of the companies that offer private transfer service to or from Vigo airport is Taxi. This company is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition, their drivers are responsible and punctual professionals.

With a private transfer you can enjoy a VIP service. The driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall or at the point you indicate with a sign with your name written on it. You just have to approach and show your receipt to confirm that it is you.

The driver will help you store your luggage in the car. It is good to let the company know how much luggage you will be carrying and if you will be accompanied. If you are traveling to Vigo with children this is your best option because everyone will travel comfortably and the driver can include a special chair for them. You can provide any other detail so that the driver and the company can offer you a better service.

There are no train stations near Vigo Airport. In fact, the only stations in Vigo are very close to the center and these are Vigo-Urzáiz and Vigo-Guixar. Therefore, you must take a bus to travel from the airport to the center.

The only bus line that can take you from the airport to the city and vice versa is the Vitrasa line L9A. I must warn you that it is not the most comfortable service, as you will not find an ideal space to store your luggage. Besides, it is a long trip as it has many stops.

Please note that the regular fare of Vitrasa buses is approximately 1.5 €. Children under 4 years old travel free and university students have a special rate.

When you are at the bus stop you must take the bus XG624 of the line I mentioned before. From there you will travel about 14 stations for approximately 48 minutes. The stop where you should get off to get to the center of Vigo is Colon. To give you a reference, from this stop you can get to the Museum of Contemporary Art MARCO in two minutes on foot. In fact, from there you could start a walking tour of the city.

• How to book this transportation: you cannot reserve a bus, so to enjoy the service you must go to the bus stop and wait for it to arrive. To board you must pay your ticket. The driver will tell you the amount, but I recommend that you bring just the right amount.
• Recommended if... you are traveling with little luggage, little budget and no small children.

Cab is an option you can always use. However, it can be expensive, especially if you need the service during the night or on busy dates. Just outside the Vigo airport you will find several cab lines that can help you. One of them is Taxi Aeropuerto.

I recommend that you always check that the cab driver belongs to a company. If this company works next to the airport it will be much better. This way you can make a claim if an object is lost. It will also be safer for you because you will avoid possible scams.

To make you feel more confident you can take a moment to see the reviews that the company has on the internet. This way you can be a little more confident about what kind of service you will receive. You can also ask for a specific car for the amount of luggage you are carrying and the amount of people traveling with you.

Other options you can always have on hand are mobile apps like Uber. Using the Uber app is very simple. Plus, it's very useful if you didn't plan a ride in advance. However, there are not always drivers available at any time and fares can be very high especially if you are traveling at night or on holidays.

On the other hand, this service does not guarantee good customer service. Few drivers take the time to help you store your luggage. Although you can look at reviews and comments left by previous customers, if you are in a hurry you will not have time to consider these factors.

In the Uber app you have the option to choose the type of car you need for the amount of luggage you are carrying. You can also book a ride in advance so that you are more secure. However, this reservation is not entirely safe as sometimes drivers can cancel at the last minute. In such cases the company does not take care of the situation, so you will have to order another cab.

When you travel to Vigo you can get around by public transport, but not all the places you can see have a stop nearby. That's why another recommendation is to rent a car when you arrive at the airport. One of the companies that offer this service is AVIS and like that, many have various packages for car rental for days.

You can choose the car you prefer and that suits the number of people traveling with you. You can also choose the number of days you will use it. I recommend you to plan very well your itinerary of two or more days in Vigo. For example, the center of Vigo can be explored on foot, but if you want to explore the estuary, it would be better to take a rented car.

Taking into account your plans, you can travel in this vehicle during your entire stay in Vigo. The price will depend on how many days you use the car. Normally the daily rate is around 30 € per day, but it can also vary depending on the season and the type of car you decide to rent.
