Barcelona has a service of 10,000 taxis which can be easily identified by their yellow and black livery. The taxi fleet has an increasing number of hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as cabs running on natural gas. The entire fleet of the Taxi Ecològic business is made up of silent hybrid and electric vehicles, or Taxi Class with luxury vehicles and ECO distinction, that means, environmentally friendly.
Taxis are available for hire if the green light on their roof is lit. You can take a taxi from any of the 300 taxi ranks (including those at railway stations, the airport, bus stations and cruise terminals), book one by phoning any of the taxi firms, via the free app, or by flagging one down in the street. For specific services (languages, seven-seater vehicles…) we recommend you contact the taxi firm by phone.
