Vigo Airport Transfers (VGO): Private Taxi





Vigo-Peinador Airport · VGO

Vigo Airport transfers: a private car service waiting for you in arrivals

Zonetransfers also drives you to Pontevedra, Sanxenxo, Santiago, Ourense, the Camino and Porto, with the fare fixed before you travel.

How do I get from Vigo Airport to the city centre?

The quickest way is a private transfer: your driver tracks the flight, meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and drives you straight to the address on your booking. Vigo Airport sits at Peinador, in the parish of Cabral, about 8 km from the centre as the crow flies and 10–14 km by road. The run takes 15–25 minutes via the VG-20 or the Avenida do Aeroporto, and costs from €40 per vehicle for one to four passengers.

The price covers the car, not each seat, so a family of four pays the same as a solo traveller. It makes most sense on a late arrival, with children or bulky luggage, and when your hotel is in the Casco Vello, where many streets are steep and pedestrian.

Driving times by district and where the car can stop

"Vigo centre" covers very different streets, so give the hotel name or exact address when you book. This is what arrival looks like in the districts we drive to most:

Vigo districts reached from the airport
District Arrival by car
Casco Vello and Porta do Sol Steep, largely pedestrian lanes. We stop at the closest point a car can reach and point you to the short walk.
Centre and Rúa do Príncipe Príncipe is pedestrian; hotels on García Barbón, Policarpo Sanz and nearby streets have car access.
Vigo-Urzaiz station and Vialia High-speed rail station built into the Vialia shopping centre, next to the coach station.
Ferry and cruise terminal Beside the Casco Vello: boats to the Cíes Islands and Cangas leave here and cruise ships berth here.
Samil, Bouzas and Balaídos Beach district on the west side and Celta's stadium, about 20–25 minutes from the airport.

Busy dates in central Vigo

The Reconquista festival fills the Casco Vello in late March, the Cristo de la Victoria festivities take over the first week of August, and the Christmas lights, from November to early January, bring heavy crowds and road closures downtown. On those dates we may drop you at the nearest open point.

Where your driver meets you in arrivals

Vigo-Peinador has a single terminal building with one arrivals exit, so meeting your Zonetransfers driver is simple:

Meeting your driver at Vigo Airport
Moment What happens
When you book Give your flight number, passengers (babies too), luggage and exact address. You pay online and receive a voucher by email with a 24-hour phone number.
While you collect bags The driver follows your flight live: if it lands early or late, the pick-up time moves with it at no cost.
In the arrivals hall Your driver waits with a sign showing your name. You have 60 minutes from the actual landing time.
On the road No shared ride and no intermediate stops: straight to the city via the VG-20 or the Avenida do Aeroporto.

Most flights at Vigo are domestic. If yours arrives from outside the Schengen area, passport control comes first, and non-EU passport holders are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES); the free waiting time still starts at landing.

I had a 5:30 AM pickup for the airport in Alicante. The driver arrived 10 minutes early, sent a polite text to let me know he was waiting outside, and handled everything with absolute professionalism.

We booked a transfer from Lisbon Airport to Faro as we were staying in the Algarve for a few days. It was a long drive but the car was comfortable and the driver was friendly. We just sat back and enjoyed the trip instead of worrying about trains and changing buses.
