Transfers, Taxis & Shuttle Buses From Reus & Barcelona Airports To Tarragona

Reus & Barcelona airport transfers to Tarragona

Tarragona is your sun-soaked gateway to Catalonia’s Roman ruins, buzzing marinas and popular seaside towns like Salou. Most travellers arrive via Reus Airport (REU) – the nearest airport to Tarragona, just 13 km away – or Barcelona El Prat (BCN), around 85 km to the north.

Types of Tarragona transfers: Private vs shared shuttles

Flying into Reus or Barcelona Airport opens up a few different ways to reach Tarragona. You can choose a cost-effective shared shuttle or opt for the speed and convenience of a private transfer. Each option has its own perks, depending on your budget, group size and travel plans.

Private airport transfers to Tarragona

A private transfer means a vehicle just for your group. After landing at Reus or Barcelona Airport, your driver will meet you at arrivals, help with luggage, and take you straight to your hotel, apartment, or cruise port. There are no stops and no delays. Whether you're staying in Salou, PortAventura, or heading south to the historic centre of Tarragona, it's the most comfortable way to travel.

Perfect for:

  • Families: Direct drop-offs and pre-booked child seats
  • Travellers with heavy luggage: Extra space for golf bags, prams, or surfboards
  • Tight connections: Cruise departures or early/late flights
  • Peace of mind: Reliable pickups even for midnight arrivals
  • Travellers with reduced mobility: Wheelchair-accessible vehicles available on request
  • Large groups: Coaches available for weddings, events or sports tours

Shared shuttle services from Reus & Barcelona airports

Shared shuttles offer a budget-friendly way to get from the airport to key locations like Tarragona, Salou and PortAventura. You’ll share the vehicle with other passengers and may have a few hotel stops along the way. Still, it’s a fraction of the price of local taxis.

Best when:

  • You’re travelling light (1 suitcase + hand luggage)
  • You have a flexible arrival time
  • You want to keep costs down without sacrificing comfort
