Bag transport companies on the Camino - a list

[trecile]

Since this question comes up quite often I thought that I'd compile a list of companies providing bag transport on the Camino. Some only cover Spain, while others operate in Portugal. Check the company's website to find out if they service the route that you want to walk.

Before you ask about a particular route please check the links provided in this post first to see if it is covered by one of these companies.

I am looking at looking at Pilbeo and Jaco. Do you have to be staying at one of the places listed for them to pick up your bag?

 

[Travelin'Tom]

I've been looking at the best transfer service for the Portuguese. When I look at the site it appears they want me to sign up for the entire trip, which seems to differ from the Francis where we decided on a day to day basis. Can someone provide some insight.

Also, I sent several questions to Tuitrans, who failed to respond. (like what their charge is). What is the best rated transfer service for this route? Top Santiago?

Any input is appreciated.

 

[Traveller44]

Top Santiago worked well on several occasions for our grop on the Portuguese. On 1 occasion we just had a few bags delivered by Uber

 

[MainelyStina]

I’ve been using these guys aling the Camino Frances for the last few days since I got sick and they’ve been really fantastic!

Transporte de equipajes para peregrinos, nunca caminareis sol@s.

Transporte de equipajes de peregrinos y bicigrinos. Gestion de material tecnico. Gestion de servicio de taxi.

www.ncsequipajes.com

I contact them in the evening to make a reservation and they are always quick to respond.

Just as a followup, I used TaXiCamino on the Primitivo all the way to...Boente, I think. They did one internal handoff after Lugo. Then they handed me off successfully to Javier Manuel, who used Jacotrans envelopes.

Can't say enough good things about TaXiCamino. Exceptionally responsive on WhatsApp, even with my bad Spanish. I would usually contact them between 1600-1800 for the next day, and they'd get back to me within 10 minutes.

Gerald Kelly’s guide to the Via de la Plata -
http://www.viadelaplataguide.net/ has a FAQ section which gives the following information for a new service on the Sanabrés :

“In 2023 a private company began offering a luggage transfer service on the Camino Sanabrés (from Granja de Moreruela to Santiago). Prices vary depending on distances. They can be contacted at servicioscaminosanabres@gmail.com or call or WhatsApp +34 674 56 98 70.”

I have contacted them by email - they replied immediately - they need a precise itinerary including dates and places of accommodation before giving me an idea of price. The service commences from Salamanca.

If anyone else has used them I would be interested to hear how it worked for them.

 

[Jan Jones]

On the Salvador there are a couple of taxi services that service the route. They are not cheap but reasonable - pretty much standard taxi rates. Great service.

Juan Morales - Léon to Pajares + 34 630 990 179

and Joaquin Moran ( a very pleasant person) from Pajares to Oviedo +34 619 146 726.

Does anyone know if I can forward a suitcase from Oviedo to Santiago to collect when I finish the Camino ? I will be traveling before and after the Camino .

 

[dbier]

Consider Casa Ivar's service, here on these boards.

Yes. You can use Correos, the Spanish post office to send the bag either to be held at the post office or to Casa Ivar.

Send luggage along the Camino de Santiago

With Correos you can send your luggage to any point on the Camino de Santiago with the Paq Peregrino.

Hi, is the post office where they send backpacks in Santiago this one? Santiago Post Office

Casa Ivar isn't coming up on the Correos website with the pull-down menu of locations?

I can’t answer the first question.

Correos deliver to every address in Spain. Are you looking at a specialised service like pac mochila? If you’re sending to Ivar by correos you’re using their conventional package delivery service as in @trecile s link above.

Yes, I was referring to Pac Mochila.

 

[trecile]

When you send a parcel or bag to Casa Ivar it goes through the regular mail service, not via their Mochila transport service. So you follow @ivar's instructions here:

Send your luggage to Santiago, we will store it for you (2024)

Send your luggage to me in Santiago de Compostela

casaivar.com

If you mail to the Santiago branch of Correos you use these instructions:

Paq Peregrino: Your luggage awaits you at the end of the Camino

With Paq Peregrino you can send your suitcases or backpacks to the post office in Santiago or your destination and pick them up on arrival

[trecile]

Yes, I was referring to Pac Mochila.

You can't send to Ivar with Paq Mochila

 

[ZEVBUL]

I am looking at looking at Pilbeo and Jaco. Do you have to be staying at one of the places listed for them to pick up your bag?

I am talking to Pilbeo. I gave them the places that I will stay each day and they made a plan to accommodate my plan and transfer the luggage from one place to the other. This is my first Camino, Anyone with experience using them ?. They seem to be responsive and very reasonable price wise

 

[Varekai]

I'm booked with Paq Mochila through Correos. If my flight is delayed and I can't make the first pickup point on Day 1, will they still pick up my bag at the pickup point on Day 2 if I carry it there myself?

Just call or email them to let them know of your schedule change. You have until 8 pm each night to let them know where to pick up and deliver your bag.

Here's the page with their contact information:

Does anyone know if there is a transfer service on the Camino Portuguese Interior (CPI) before joining the vdlp?

That's probably very challenging. Perhaps someone like @jungleboy who has walked that route would know.
