Barcelona Airport to Olot transfer

Barcelona Airport to Olot

Olot is quite a long way from Barcelona Airport. It is not the kind of trip where you leave the terminal and arrive a few minutes later.

The road journey is around 123.1 km. Driving normally takes about 102 minutes. Prices for a private transfer currently start from €198 per vehicle.

Most people going to Olot want to continue straight there after landing. Going into Barcelona first would only add another part to an already long journey.

Have Your Olot Address Ready

Try to keep the full address of your accommodation on your phone.

This sounds simple but it can save trouble when you arrive. Some places use Olot in their description even when the property is a little outside the town.

If you are staying in a hotel in the centre then the hotel address is enough. If you booked a country house or another place outside town then use the address shown on your reservation.

Do not book only to Olot if you already know the exact place where you are staying.

A Long Drive After a Flight

After collecting your bags you still have around an hour and forty minutes on the road.

For this reason it is worth choosing a car with enough room. A small vehicle may be fine for two people with normal luggage. It can become uncomfortable when several large cases are added.

Families should check the luggage space before booking. The same applies to groups travelling together.

If you have a lot of bags then a van can make more sense than trying to fit everything into a normal car.

Olot Is Not Part of Barcelona

Olot is in the Girona area and is the main town of La Garrotxa.

The drive takes you away from Barcelona and further inland. This is one reason many visitors arrange the transfer before they travel.

You can leave the airport and continue towards Olot without finding another connection in Barcelona.

This can be much easier after a late flight or when you are travelling with children and luggage.

Staying Outside the Centre of Olot

Not every visitor stays in the centre.

There are places to stay around the wider Olot area as well. Your accommodation may be on a quiet road or outside the main part of town.

Check the address before your flight. A screenshot of the booking details is also useful.

That way you have the property name and location ready even if your mobile connection is poor when you land.

Coming Back to Barcelona Airport

The return trip also needs a little planning because Barcelona Airport is more than 120 km away.

Do not calculate your pickup time using only the normal driving time. Road conditions can change and you will still need time at the airport before your flight.

If you are staying outside central Olot then use your real pickup address when booking the return.

For an early morning flight it is better to arrange the journey beforehand. You then know when and where your driver will collect you.

Before You Book

Check your flight date and arrival time first.

Then check how many people are travelling and how many suitcases you have.

Finally make sure the destination is the actual address where you want to be dropped off.

Once these details are correct you can choose a vehicle that suits the journey from Barcelona Airport to Olot.
