Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Granada Airport (GRX) to Granada city center, the Albaicín, the Realejo and hotels near the Alhambra in Andalusia, Spain.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Granada runs from Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport to hotels, apartments and vacation rentals in Granada city center around the cathedral, in the Albaicín and Realejo quarters, and up the hill near the Alhambra.
Our Granada airport transfers start in the arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a sign showing your name. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time if your flight from Barcelona, Madrid or the islands arrives early or late.
Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Granada airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel or apartment in the city; where cars cannot enter the old lanes of the Albaicín, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach. Going on to the Sierra Nevada ski resort, the Costa Tropical around Almuñécar and Salobreña, or Jaén? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Granada airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your hotel or apartment, with no stops for other travelers. There is room for suitcases, strollers and sports gear, so it suits families and groups visiting the Alhambra and the old town together.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport (GRX), named after the Granada-born poet, is the airport for Granada and Jaén in Andalusia. It sits near Chauchina and Santa Fe, west of Granada. Aena runs it, and all flights use a single terminal with one runway.
Most flights come from elsewhere in Spain, with Vueling, Iberia, Binter Canarias, Air Europa and Volotea, so there is usually no passport check; Transavia flies from Amsterdam. If you fly in from outside the Schengen area, you go through passport control. The terminal is small, so baggage claim is usually quick, and pre-booked drivers meet passengers in the arrivals hall.
Spain is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October.
Schengen entry. Spain is in the Schengen area. Arrivals from outside it, including the UK, go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Old town streets. Cars cannot enter much of the Albaicín and the old town, so give your full address when you book; where the street is closed to traffic, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.
Euro and cash. Spain uses the euro; carry some cash for small purchases.
