Once you have landed and collected your luggage from the baggage reclaim belt, and pass the arrivals hall your licensed taxi or minibus driver will be waiting for you and your party holding an official OMT (Spanish airport authority) sign with the lead passengers name clearly printed on it.
If a Transfer Company asks to meet you anywhere apart from the designated area in the arrivals terminal, they will be illegal, their vehicles will also not be insured for passenger liability cover. You should remember that if stopped by the Guardia Civil the vehicle would be confiscated immediately leaving you stranded.
A vehicle that is licensed will be SP (Servicio Publico) plated by the Spanish Authorities and you can always ask to see a copy of the Companies “Tarjeta de Transporte” license if you are concerned. Please do not ruin your holiday before it has started.
What happens if the flight is delayed?
All flights are constantly monitored by our drivers, If your flight is delayed there is no need to worry they will be aware of the delay and your assigned driver will be at airport waiting for you when you arrive.
How long will the driver wait for us to clear customs?
The driver under normal circumstances waits for 60 minutes, which allows sufficient time to proceed from the plane to clear customs to the arrival hall. If you still have not arrived the driver will make enquiries with the flight company.
Only after all this and if there is still no sign of the passengers the driver will leave the airport. If you are delayed in customs or baggage and you have provided a mobile telephone number, please ensure that it is switched on, as the head office may be trying to contact you.

What papers do I have to show to the driver at the airport?
