Greetings,
My niece is meeting us in Finisterre for a few days at the end of our Camino. We are then flying out from SCQ at 9:00 am.....
I see a bus schedule on Road2Rio duration of 3:45 and leaving at 8:20 am.
Is there a service for more direct and EARLIER arrival at SCQ?
Such as Car Rental or UBER (equivalent)?

If you check the Monbus site, you can find the schedules.

Indeed. But the earliest bus leaves at 0820 and takes about 2:20 - not the 3:45 mentioned in the OP. But that still won't help for a 9am flight which in practice means being at the airport by 7am if you have check-in luggage. Which in turn means leaving Fisterra around 5.30am at the latest if you have a taxi booked. You might get an extra hour in bed and a far cheaper taxi fare by spending the last night in Santiago instead.

Yes indeed! Or the previous night. Car may be best option!

Thank you, that is sound advice. I will look into both options, taxi and going to Santiago the day ahead. My niece is looking into a car.

I would definitely go the day before for a morning flight.

You didn't say what time of year, but setting out on a 100km car journey on unfamiliar roads at that hour of the morning for the airport and the stress that will entail, (especially if it's dark!) really doesn't sound like a good plan. I agree about staying in Santiago for the last night.
