How to get from Santiago to airport

[mlm]

Any advice on getting to the Santiago airport from the city for an early (6:15 AM) flight? The busses don't run that early, and I have received quotes for a taxi from 20 euros up to 50 euros for the 7 mile ride. What fare should I expect? Can I call for a taxi the night before and have confidence that it will show up? Where would I meet it-- are vehicles allowed in the old city? Any advice would be most welcome!

Hola - the standard tariff for licensed taxis to Santiago airport from the centre is 21euros. The number is: 981569292
You can book in advance - you could get the hotel or albergue where you are staying to do it for you.
Taxis have access to the Old Town and will come to you!

I hope this helps.

There is a flat rate set for a taxi to the airport - 21E. Bags may be an additional charge, but I have never been gouged. The hotel concierge can order a taxi for early morning.

If you are really on a budget and can't afford the cab, it appears that Santiago airport is not that terrible a place to spend the night. http://www.sleepinginairports.net/europe/santiagodecompostela.htm

And a lot quieter than many albergues, where pilgrims are still celebrating their arrival!

Or stay at Hotel Garcas and walk to airport in 20 mins (or so). Good menu del dia for €10 from 8pm.
