Late pick up at airport

James_J, Jul 2026
Good driver and I felt safe. He was 15 min late and it became a race to his car once I was picked up.

Excellent experience. ...

Ian_H, Jul 2026
Excellent experience. The pick was clearly communicated with an easily recognizable location. The driver was friendly and helpful.

Transfer to airport with 4 kids

Stephen_C, Jul 2026
Driver contacted us that he could pick us up early if we were ready, which we were, to help avoid some traffic heading to the airport, so that worked out great. He played Disney music on the way which our 4 kids ages 5-10 enjoyed.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are glad to hear that our driver's proactiveness helped you beat the airport traffic and start your journey stress-free. We always strive to make family travels as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, so hearing that the Disney playlist was a hit with your four kids absolutely made our day! It sounds like a magical ride to the airport. Thank you for choosing Transfer Madrid & World, and we hope to welcome your lovely family on board again soon! Best regards

Frustrating communication but friendly driver

Angela_K, Jun 2026
The good news is we got to where we needed to go. The bad news is that it took over an hour to connect with our driver because of their poor communication. We weee sent a picture of a pillar and told to meet our driver there. We had no clue where that pillar was and we kept asking for directions. They kept sending the pillar. It was extremely frustrating. We kept asking airport workers for help and no one seemed to know where we were being directed. We finally connected and the driver was lovely but we were exhausted by then.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found your driver lovely and that you arrived safely at your destination. However, we are very sorry to hear that finding each other at the airport caused you so much frustration and stress. We would like to clarify what happened so we can improve our service, as there seems to have been a misunderstanding regarding the meeting point location. As we tried to explain during our communications, the pillar shown in the photo is located outside in the main Arrivals Hall. By regulations, our drivers are not allowed to enter the baggage claim area or the restricted terminal zones, which are strictly accessible to arriving passengers only. We understand you were looking for the pillar while still inside the baggage area, which is why airport staff could not guide you to it until you exited to the public Arrivals Hall. We deeply regret that this explanation was not clearer at the time and that it turned an otherwise smooth transfer into an exhausting experience. We will work on making our instructions even more precise for future travelers. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to provide you with a much smoother experience on your next visit to Madrid. Best regards

Good and comfortable ride

Maribel_N, Jun 2026
The company had sent us a message via whatassap with clear instructions where to meet our driver and his contact info. Driver was not on meeting point when we arrived. Called him and he came about 5 min later. So all good at the end. The drive to our destination was comfortable and we had good AC to beat the heat wave in the city that week

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We sincerely apologize for the 5-minute delay upon your arrival at the meeting point. We always strive for perfect timing, but we are glad the WhatsApp instructions helped you get in touch with the driver quickly and resolve it. Thank you for your feedback and for choosing our services. We hope to welcome you on board again soon!

Madrid Transfer Service-Airport

Jorge_G, Jun 2026
I booked a private transfer in Madrid for my daughter. From the very beginning, Fran’s service was outstanding. They sent clear, timely messages with all the details ahead of time, which gave us great peace of mind. Driver Diego was exactly on time, waiting precisely where he said he would be. He was professional, courteous, and made the entire transfer smooth and stress-free. My daughter felt completely safe and well taken care of. We were extremely happy with the service — everything was perfect. I highly recommend Transfer Madrid & World to anyone needing reliable, trusted private transfers in Madrid. Thank you, Fran, Diego and the team!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Mario fantastic!

Amber_B, Jun 2026
Fantastic service! My daughter said “Ok made it to the car! Mario is really nice thank you mom!” She had to travel alone after a family emergency. Mario greeted her at the airport and she felt happy & safe right away. Thank you for taking care of my daughter!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Great tomes

John_R, Jun 2026
Wonderful driver, and our flights were late by 2 hours, yet he was waiting for us as we exited customs. Quick efficient driver who got us to our hotel safe and sound. Your driver is a credit to your company. We liked it so much we will have another driver waitingl for us in Lisbon, and Barcelona. Thank you again. Also, we are taking a tour with your company to Fatima, And can hardly wait for that experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your driver provided such excellent service and waited for you despite the 2-hour flight delay. We will certainly pass along your kind words to him! We wanted to gently clarify that our company only operates transfers within Madrid. Unfortunately, we do not provide services, tours, or drivers in Barcelona, Lisbon, or Fatima. It seems there might be a mix-up with another agency for the rest of your itinerary, so we highly recommend checking your booking confirmations to ensure everything is set for your upcoming stops. Thank you again for choosing us in Madrid, and we wish you a fantastic rest of your trip!

Great

William_W, Jun 2026
What an awesome trip we had. Driver had to wait and let us know where he was at all times. Reason he had to wait was the EU system to get into the passport area is not yet perfected and was a lot of trouble. Plus the airline didn’t get my bags loaded in Atlanta and we had to file that. BUT the driver and trip and services offered were terrific! Would use again

Airport to hotel transfer

Loren_M, Jun 2026
Simple to book, confirmed with WhatsApp. The driver met us just outside of baggage claim and it was off the hotel. It was nice not to have worry about parking, figuring out the train the first day, etc. Would recommend!

Keith_W, Jun 2026
Great communication and easy to find once you land. My driver Pedro was very nice, prompt, friendly, and provided many recommendations of things to do in Madrid. Car was very clean and comfortable. He dropped me off right at the door and helped with my luggage. I highly recommend this affordable and quality service. Why fuss with shuttles, Uber, etc. I would certainly use this service again when I return to Madrid.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Michael_S, May 2026
Waited 90 minutes for pick-up with no explanation at the designated pick-up location at gate 1 airport .

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the unacceptable 90-minute delay you experienced at Gate 1. This is absolutely not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand your frustration—especially regarding the lack of communication. We are currently investigating what went wrong with our dispatch team to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Recommended add-on to your travel to Madrid

John_P, May 2026
Jose Carlos was great from pickup to drop-off, handling our luggage and telling us about the City of Madrid and places to be sure to see. It was a welcome part of the overseas journey to have an easy navigation out of the airport and directly to our hotel

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We are thrilled to hear that Jose Carlos made your arrival in Madrid so smooth and welcoming. Navigating a new city after an overseas flight can be tiring, so we are glad he could take that stress off your shoulders, help with your luggage, and share some great local tips with you. We will be sure to pass your kind words along to Jose Carlos—he will be delighted to hear them! We hope you had a wonderful stay in Madrid and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Warm regards

Best Airport pickup in Madrid

Mike_S, May 2026
Drive was waiting at the airport with my and on a sign. They monitored our flight and knew we were arriving a little late. Communication made it easy to find the meeting point. Driver was polite and took our bags. It was great way to arrive and not have to wait for a taxi or Uber. Great if you like to plan ahead.

Using Viator for 26 years for overseas travel

Dawn_R, May 2026
I have used Viator for airport pickup for every overseas trip and have never been disappointed. I chose Viator each time to ensure we get a van for my tall husband and children and we need the legroom. The drivers have always been communicative. If I need help with clarification where to meet them or if a plane has been delayed with landing, I love that they use Whatsapp or I can text directly to keep the driver updated . I just realized on this trip that I have used Viator since 2000 for our overseas trips and will continue to do so!!
