Madrid Taxi Fares Explained

In Madrid, taxi fares start with a fixed base rate visible on the tariff card inside the taxi, typically €2.55 during the day and €3.20 at night. This base fare activates the meter before additional charges accumulate.

Additional charges include a per-kilometer rate around €1.35 to €1.50 and a waiting time fee of approximately €0.15 to €0.25 per minute during traffic stops or slow travel. These charges add up depending on trip length and conditions.

For journeys between Madrid city center and the airport, a fixed fare replaces the meter calculation. The fare is €33 from the airport to the center and a slightly higher rate, about €45, in the opposite direction. This flat fare simplifies pricing.

Surcharges may apply for trips entering certain zones, like the M-30 ring road or during late-night hours. Payment options commonly include cash, credit cards, and phone tap payments, ensuring convenience and transparency on all rides.
