When AVE services are cancelled or there are line disruptions, the issue most commonly affects the Madrid ⇄ Andalusia route in both directions. With Zonetransfers you have a direct alternative: pick-up at Atocha, Chamartín, Barajas (MAD) or any address in Madrid (and vice versa), with direct arrival at your destination in Seville, Málaga, Granada or Córdoba.
During disruptions, what works best is making a quick decision based on practical criteria: real departure time, luggage, group size and door-to-door arrival.
During disruptions, what you really pay for is uncertainty. A private transfer is based on planning and clear conditions.
