What the transfer covers
Girona is a university city in the Gironès, inland from the coast, and the Generalitat de Catalunya's Costa Brava guide names it the capital of the Costa Brava region, close to both the sea and the Pyrenees. The Onyar river divides it: the historic quarter lies on the east bank and the modern city on the west, joined by bridges such as the iron one by Gustave Eiffel. The city's own tourism site calls the brightly painted houses overlooking the river its most emblematic image. Above them, the cathedral is reached by a Baroque staircase of almost one hundred steps, and at its foot lies the Call, the Jewish quarter.
By road the estimate is 101 km, about 1 h 15 min without traffic, on the C-31 and C-33 out of Barcelona and then north on the AP-7. A private transfer suits a stay in the old quarter, a meeting in the modern city or a first night before the coast. The tourism site describes the historic center as steep alleyways, porticoed streets and squares, so send the exact address of your hotel or apartment with your request.
Start of the journey
Pickup in Barcelona
Pickup is at your address in Barcelona: a hotel, an apartment, a home or an office. Include the street address and the time you would like to leave.
If you land at Barcelona Airport and go straight on to Girona, the Barcelona Airport to Girona transfer starts at the terminal.
End of the journey
Arrival in Girona
Drop-off is at the address you give in Girona, on either bank of the Onyar: a hotel or apartment in the historic quarter on the east bank, or an office, a home or a hotel in the modern city on the west bank.
For travel to or from Girona's own airport, see the Girona Airport transfer pages.

Why book a private chauffeur
To the right bank of the river
Old quarter on the east bank or modern city on the west: the transfer ends at the address in your request, on whichever side of the river it is.
Girona first, the coast next
If you are spending a night in Girona before moving to the Costa Brava, ask for both journeys in one request. The Costa Brava transfer page covers the coast.
For work in the city
Girona is a university city and a regional service center. For a meeting, send the office address and the time you need to be there.
Return from Girona to Barcelona
There is no separate page for the Girona to Barcelona transfer. Ask for the return in the same request, with its date and time, and we quote both directions.

Questions about the Barcelona to Girona transfer
How long will we be on the road to Girona?
Girona is about 101 km up the road from Plaça de Catalunya, and the estimate puts the drive at about 1 h 15 min with no traffic (estimate: OpenStreetMap road routing, no traffic, checked September 30, 2026). Leaving Barcelona at a busy hour, and the exact address in Girona, both change the real time.
Can you drop us in Girona's old quarter?
Send the address of your hotel or apartment in the request. The historic quarter on the east bank of the Onyar is, in the words of Girona's tourism site, a place of steep alleyways, porticoed streets and squares, so the exact address matters for the drop-off.
Is there a day trip to Girona with the drive back?
Yes, as a separate page. This transfer is one way; the Girona chauffeur day trip is a round trip from Barcelona with time in the city. For local journeys once you are there, see chauffeur service in Girona.
What should we see first in Girona?
The Generalitat's Costa Brava guide starts with the cathedral and its staircase, the Call at its foot, the walk along the ancient wall behind it, and the view of the houses over the Onyar, crossed by bridges such as the iron bridge by Gustave Eiffel.
What is the Call in Girona?
The old Jewish quarter, at the foot of the cathedral around Carrer de la Força. The Generalitat de Catalunya's Costa Brava guide says a Jewish community lived there for 600 years, until 1492, and that the Jewish History Museum is in the house of Isaac the Blind. Its lanes belong to the steep old quarter, so a hotel there needs its exact street and number in the request.
