Taxi transfer to Ponferrada

[Sarah Jane]

We need to get a taxi from Santiago airport to Ponferrada to pick up where we left off on the Camino. We have seen a link to Suntransfers.com - has anyone used them and got a view about them?

Why not just catch the train? https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Santiago-de-Compostela/Ponferrada

It would be reasonable to expect to pay €1/km and its over 200k to Ponferrada plus return. Suntransfers are quoting between €300 & €407 for the 3rd September

Unfortunately we arrive too late for the last train, which is why we need a taxi.

Personally I think I'd find accommodation near Santiago's new Bus/Rail hub and take the 08:34 train the following day, or the 08:00 bus.

Suntransfers is a booking agent not a transport provider. They'lll just book you into a local provider. A "Godgle" search will show a 10% dissatisfaction rate. If you're determined to get to Ponferrada on the same day I'd suggest contacting one of the local service providers direct. You might make a local taxi-driver very happy...

Caminofacil offers a taxi service, which we used once from Porto to Ocebreiro. They are excellent , have also used them for luggage transfers. From their website you can calculate the rate. ( for 4 people Santiago to Ponferrada is €268)

Hi - I’ve used Taxi Travel SCQ 2-3 times (to Sarria; Ferrol & Ourense) and can highly recommend in terms of service, local knowledge & price.

What time do you arrive? My son and I are arriving in Santiago too late for the train. We have booked bus via OMIO for £28 each to ponferrada in October leaving 14.15. We get into Ponferrada about18.00hrs but I think there was a later bus even.

You can also check with Caminofacil. I use them all the time for taxi transfer.
