Frequently asked

Everything you need to know.

Your transfer

Is this a private transfer?

Yes. Every booking is private for your group only. You will not share the taxi with other passengers, and we never make detours for additional pickups.

Is Silicon Drop the same company as Silicondrop?

Yes. Silicondrop is our official brand name and website. Some travellers search for us as Silicon Drop; both spellings refer to the same licensed Barcelona transfer service.

How much luggage can we bring?

Your price includes the luggage declared when booking, with no per-bag fee. Enter your suitcase count and tell us about large carry-ons, a stroller, a folding wheelchair or other bulky items so we can check the space needed. If you are unsure, send us the luggage details or a photo before booking.

Do you have child seats or baby seats?

Yes. Baby seats and boosters are available for €5 per seat. Add them with the child-seat selector in the booking form and write your child's age in special requests so we fit the right seat before pickup. Children count as passengers, as Spanish law requires every child to travel in their own seat.

Are prices per person or per group?

The quoted price is the total for your group, not per person. For a one-way transfer between BCN Airport and a Barcelona city hotel, 1 passenger costs €45 and 2 passengers cost €50 total, with up to 4 suitcases and no child seats. Other routes, passenger counts, luggage and extras can change the price. Check the booking form for your exact total.

Pickup & meeting

Where exactly will my driver meet me at Barcelona Airport?

At Terminal 1, your driver waits near Como café, in front of the arrivals hall, with your name displayed on their phone. For Terminal 2, we confirm your meeting point before pickup. Save your pickup instructions before you travel so you can find the meeting point without internet access.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Just send us a quick message on WhatsApp or email as soon as you know your flight is delayed, and we adjust your pickup time at no extra charge. Please always let us know of any change to your arrival, it helps us have your driver waiting at exactly the right time.

What if my ship arrives early or late?

Cruise ships do not always dock exactly on schedule. As soon as you know your actual arrival time, or if you disembark earlier than planned, send us a quick message on WhatsApp or email and we adjust your pickup so your driver is there when you step off the ship. A short heads-up is all we need.

How do I get to the right cruise terminal?

Tell us your ship’s name when booking so we can check the correct cruise terminal. If your cruise line sends you a terminal change, please let us know before pickup.

What if I have no internet when I arrive?

Save a screenshot of your pickup instructions before travelling. At Terminal 1, go to Como café in front of the arrivals hall and look for your name on the driver’s phone. If you can make a phone call, reach us on +34 640 723 259. Terminal 2 customers should follow their separately confirmed meeting instructions.

What if I cannot find my driver?

Go to the meeting point in your pickup instructions and look for your name on the driver’s phone. If you cannot find them, call +34 640 723 259 or message us on WhatsApp so we can help you meet.

Payment

How do I pay, and is it secure?

All payments are made securely online by card via Stripe when you book. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and you receive an email confirmation after payment. Stripe is one of the world’s largest payment providers; Silicondrop never sees or stores your card details at any point.

What happens after I book?

After payment, we email your booking confirmation with your reference and transfer details. If it has not arrived within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder, or contact us for a copy. We send your driver’s details before pickup.
