English Car plus chauffeur
Sightseeing, weddings or meetings with the vehicle always at hand.
Reserve a car together with its driver for two hours, a full day or several days, at one closed price per vehicle. Inside the city of Córdoba nothing is added for mileage, parking, waiting or night work; trips into the countryside or the Subbética hills get a written quote before you confirm.
To get a black car service in Córdoba, Spain, book a private driver online or on WhatsApp with the date, start time, passengers and plan. A Mercedes saloon costs from €50 per hour and the seven-seat V-Class seventy-five euros per hour, with a two-hour minimum and fuel, parking and waiting already included.
The price is for the whole vehicle, so seven travellers sharing the V-Class pay under eleven euros an hour each, and nobody in the party has to drive or search for a parking space near the Jewish Quarter.
| Booking | Typical plan | Car |
|---|---|---|
| 2 hours | A meeting at the Jewellery Park or Rabanales campus and back to the hotel | Saloon |
| 4 hours | Mezquita, Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs and Viana Palace with the car standing by | Saloon or van |
| 6 to 8 hours | A full wedding: church, photos, banquet at a country estate and the ride home | Saloon and van |
| By the day | The Subbética, Montilla or Carmona, or several days across Andalusia | Fixed quote per route |
Waiting by the Puerta del Puente while you tour the Mezquita, parking close to the Conference Centre or a 3 a.m. return from the May Fair grounds all sit inside the hourly price with a Zonetransfers chauffeur. Only journeys beyond the city boundary are quoted separately, in writing, before any payment.

Córdoba weddings often begin in the Mezquita-Cathedral, San Lorenzo or one of the old Fernandine churches and move on to a banquet at a cortijo or hacienda in the surrounding farmland. The bride and groom ride in the saloon, close family in the V-Class, and the chauffeur waits at each stop.
Bride collected from home at 17:30, ceremony in the old town at 18:00, photos on the Roman Bridge and at the Alcázar gardens, arrival at the cortijo around 20:00. The driver stays during the banquet and takes the couple to their hotel at 2:00. Roughly eight and a half hours, with a fixed quote when the venue is outside the city.
Guests staying in different hotels can be collected by extra cars on the same schedule, and larger parties can travel by minibus on request. Spring and autumn are peak wedding seasons in Córdoba, so book several weeks ahead.
The Mezquita-Cathedral and the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs stand in the Jewish Quarter, a maze of narrow lanes with restricted traffic, while Viana Palace and its courtyards lie in the Santa Marina district. A private driver links all three in one morning and waits at the closest point a car can reach.
Drivers are not tour guides, so guided visits to the Mezquita or the Alcázar are booked separately; your chauffeur times each pick-up around your ticket slots.
Medina Azahara, the tenth-century caliphal city listed as World Heritage, sits 15 km west of Plaza de las Tendillas along the A-431, 18 to 35 minutes away. A shuttle bus climbs from the visitor centre to the ruins, so a car with driver drops you for your slot and collects you when you come back down.
Allow about three hours for the drive, museum and site. You can add the castle of Almodóvar del Río, 34 km from the centre on the same road, 35 minutes to an hour away, and be back in Córdoba by late afternoon at a price fixed before leaving the city.
Montilla, heart of the Montilla-Moriles wine region, lies 45 km south on the A-45, while the white village of Zuheros clings to the Subbética cliffs 74 km away. Travelling with a private driver from Córdoba means the car is parked near each stop and you set the return time; the total is agreed at booking.
| Place | Route | Drive |
|---|---|---|
| Medina Azahara | 15 km on the A-431 | 18 to 35 min |
| Almodóvar del Río castle | 34 km on the A-431 | 35 min to 1 h |
| Montilla | 45 km on the A-45 | 40 to 55 min |
| Écija | 57 km on the A-4 | 40 min to 1 h |
| Zuheros | 74 km on the N-432 | 1 h 5 min to 1 h 20 min |
| Priego de Córdoba | 104 km on the A-45 and A-339 | 1 h 10 min to 1 h 40 min |
| Carmona | 107 km on the A-4 | 1 h 5 min to 1 h 30 min |
Winery tastings and the Bat Cave at Zuheros are booked directly with each venue. For a one-way ride there is a set fare on the Córdoba to Seville transfer, the transfer to Granada and the transfer to Málaga.
Visitors looking up car rental in Córdoba soon find that the Jewish Quarter is closed to most traffic and central parking is scarce. Booking a car with driver keeps the same freedom: you are dropped at the door, the car waits nearby and the whole group can enjoy a glass of fino in Montilla.
Sightseeing, weddings or meetings with the vehicle always at hand.

Not part of our service: driving yourself needs a rental firm, a licence and a deposit.
Every May Córdoba strings together the Crosses, the Courtyards Festival and the Fair of Our Lady of Health at El Arenal, and demand for cars soars. With an hourly chauffeur you tour the flower-filled patios of San Basilio and Santa Marina in the evening and leave the fairground in the early hours with no queue.
Central streets close to traffic during those weeks, so we agree accessible meeting points in each neighbourhood. Reserve well ahead for May: available cars run out sooner than in any other month.
The Conference Centre stands beside the Mezquita, the Parque Joyero hosts a large share of Córdoba's jewellery makers and the Rabanales campus sits on the eastern edge of town. A private driver ties together hotel, meetings and company visits in one working day while you prepare for the next appointment.
For delegations we run several cars at once, adjust timings to each day's agenda and invoice the company. Travel agencies and event organisers have a trade booking portal.
A bridal couple or two executives fit comfortably in the saloon; a family with suitcases or friends heading into the Subbética need the V-Class. Pick by headcount and luggage, and within Córdoba one hourly price applies however many stops you make.
Mercedes E-Class or equivalent, for couples and business guests.
Mercedes V-Class or equivalent, with room for cases and wedding dresses.
Several cars on one timetable, or a minibus on request.
Every model and its seating are shown on our fleet page.
Most chauffeur bookings in Córdoba begin at a central hotel, at Córdoba Central railway station or beside the Mezquita, though we can start from any home, church or office. Below are the usual meeting areas with the practical tip your driver follows in each one.
We meet at the Puerta del Puente or the nearest street open to cars.
Hotels and shops along the main city avenue.
Glorieta de las Tres Culturas, by the main exit.
Agreed meeting point in May, when streets close.
Workshops and offices on the outskirts.
Hospital and university campus, at a set time.
Córdoba airport handles very few commercial flights, mostly private and charter traffic, and your hourly driver can meet you there. Most visitors land in Seville, 131 km away on the A-4, or in Málaga, so book the Seville airport to Córdoba transfer or the Málaga airport to Córdoba transfer to have a car waiting.
Use the form or email us, saying whether you need a few hours, one full day or several days in a row. In May and during wedding season reserve weeks in advance; for a car today, send a WhatsApp message and we will check availability straight away.

It is the term often used in the United States for a pre-booked private car with a dedicated driver. In Córdoba that means a Mercedes E-Class saloon or V-Class van, a fixed hourly rate and no meter. You book at least 2 hours ahead of time, and the driver waits for you between every stop.
It is charged by the hour at the normal saloon or V-Class rate, with waiting during the ceremony, photos and banquet included. A full wedding usually needs 6 to 8 hours. If the cortijo or hacienda is outside the city, we send a fixed quote in advance that already includes taking the couple home.
Yes. Besides hourly bookings you can reserve full days or a multi-day trip. For a 3-day route through Córdoba, Seville and Granada, for instance, you receive one single quote with the same driver and vehicle for the whole journey and a schedule built around your stops. Overnight stays and longer distances are simply part of that quote.
No. Each Zonetransfers vehicle comes with its own driver, so there is no licence check, deposit or rental insurance and no hunting for parking near the Jewish Quarter. Bookings start at 2 hours, with mileage and waiting included inside the city. To drive yourself you would need a self-drive rental company.
Your driver takes you to the visitor centre, 15 km from the centre via the A-431, where a shuttle bus runs up to the ruins. While you see the museum and the caliphal city the car waits in the car park. Allow around 3 hours in total; the Almodóvar del Río castle is an easy addition on the way back.
Cancellation costs nothing with at least 72 hours' notice before an hourly chauffeur booking begins, saloon or van. To change the start time, meeting point or number of hours, just tell us and we will update it free of charge whenever a car is free. Full details are published in our booking terms.
Yes. The El Arenal fairground is beside the river, a few minutes from the centre, and your driver collects you at the agreed time even at 3:00, with no night surcharge. Cars sell out first in May, so book early; up to 7 people travel together in the V-Class, and bigger groups get several cars.
Yes. Montilla is 45 km along the A-45, 40 to 55 minutes away, and several wineries open for arranged visits and tastings. The driver takes you from one to the next and waits outside, so everyone can try the finos. Visits are booked with each winery and the transport carries a fixed price.
Yes, they speak English and Spanish; just ask when booking. They know the province well but do not work as tour guides, so a guided visit to the Mezquita or Medina Azahara is arranged separately. Your driver plans pick-ups around those times, even on days lasting 8 hours or more.
Yes, on request when booking. Spanish law requires children 135 cm tall or shorter to ride in an approved seat or booster suited to their height and weight. Send us each child's age and weight and we fit the right one before collecting you, whether for a wedding or a day trip.
