Tripadvisor review

"

We were 5 people (inc. 3 kids) traveling from the center of Madrid to the Madrid airport. Given we had an early morning flight back to the U.S., we booked this taxi transfer. Booking was easy. The driver was very professional, on time, and the vehicle was very comfortable. I am glad we chose this service for an easy transfer at the beginning of a long journey home.

FAQ

How do I pay for my private transfer?

You can pay your driver in cash or with a credit card, on arrival at your accommodation. No payment is normally taken upfront, unless your transfer is over €150.

In all cases your driver will wait for up 60 minutes after your scheduled flight arrival time.

SolHoP provides great service. When we arrived, the driver waited for us even if we were late. And when we drove back to airport, the driver arrived on time. The customer service responses through email were also very quick and they answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. We will use this service again when we return.
