How are prices calculated?
Barcelona taxi fares are regulated by the Institut Metropolità del Taxi (IMET). Street taxis use a taximeter with different tariffs: Tariff 1 (day, Mon–Fri 08:00–20:00), Tariff 2 (evenings, nights, weekends), and Tariff 3 (special, for destinations outside the metropolitan area). Airport transfers often include a supplement. The Barcelona TaxiGo App solves this by providing a fixed, all-inclusive price upfront.
2026 Taximeter Rates (Street Taxi — BCN)
- • T1 Opening fee (day, Mon–Fri 08:00–20:00): ~€2.30
- • T2 Opening fee (evenings, nights, weekends): ~€2.90
- • Per km rate: ~€1.10 (T1) / ~€1.35 (T2)
- • Airport supplement: ~€4.30 (fixed)
- • Luggage supplement: ~€1.00 per bag
Street taxis are regulated by IMET. For airport transfers, fixed-price pre-booking via the Barcelona TaxiGo app eliminates uncertainty and is recommended.

Always ensure the taximeter is reset and running if you take a street taxi. Be aware of luggage supplements (~€1 per bag), airport supplements (~€4.30), and night tariff surcharges. The safest option is to pre-book with a fixed price — what you see is what you pay.
