Taxi & private hire in Toledo

Toledo and Toledo y su alfoz

Toledo city and the towns around it, such as Bargas and Olías del Rey, hold the regional government, the University Hospital, the high-speed station and an old town that is hard to drive into without knowing the access rules. It is the starting point for many AVE connections and the destination for medical appointments from across the province.

From Toledo to Madrid and Barajas

There are two ways from Toledo to Madrid: the free A-42 through Illescas, with more traffic, and the AP-41 toll motorway, usually clear, which reaches southern Madrid at the M-40. For Barajas the route continues on the M-40 or M-50 depending on the time of day.

Around the province of Toledo

Toledo province is long and poorly connected from east to west: Talavera to Ocaña is over 150 kilometres with no direct train. The most requested internal trips are from the towns to Toledo city — hospital, high-speed station, public offices — and between the towns of La Sagra, where buses link to Madrid but hardly to each other.

Busiest times of year

• Puy du Fou season (spring to autumn, and at Christmas): When the park is open, weekends and long weekends fill up with returns from the night show, all leaving within the same half hour. It is best to book both ways at once.
• Corpus Christi in Toledo (June): The Corpus Christi procession, of international tourist interest, fills the old town and closes much of it to traffic. Expect closures and plan the drop-off outside the route.
• Saffron Rose Festival (last weekend of October): Consuegra celebrates the saffron harvest with the windmills open and many visitors in a few days; access to the hill gets difficult and an early arrival helps.
• Summer fairs (May to September): The San Isidro and San Mateo fairs in Talavera, Toledo's August fair and the village fiestas of La Sagra move many people between towns at night, exactly when there is least public transport.
• Long weekends and holidays (Easter, summer and Christmas): Transfers to Barajas from La Sagra and Toledo spike at the start and end of holidays, and first-thing flights are the first to fill up.

Tip: From La Sagra, for flights before nine, pickup is usually between five and six: the A-42 starts filling up early.
