What the transfer covers
Perpignan is the prefecture of the Pyrénées-Orientales, a city on the plain of Roussillon with the Têt river running through it, about 13 km inland from the Mediterranean. Wikipedia places it in Northern Catalonia and notes that its street signs are in French and Catalan. When the Kingdom of Majorca was created in 1276, Perpignan became the capital of its mainland territories, and the palace its kings built still stands on the high citadel. A private transfer to Perpignan starts at your address in Barcelona and ends at your address in the city, in one vehicle.
Northbound, the routed line takes the C-31 and C-33 out of the city to the AP-7, the Autopista de la Mediterrània, and follows it past Girona and Figueres. At Els Límits, in the municipality of La Jonquera, the AP-7 ends and the road carries on into France as the A 9, named La Catalane on its southern stretch. Beside the motorway crossing, the French village of Le Perthus is split by the frontier along part of its main street. From there the A 9 runs down into the Roussillon plain to Perpignan.
Start of the journey
Pickup in Barcelona
The transfer starts at the address you send in Barcelona: a hotel, an apartment, a home or an office. Add the time you want to set off, or the time you need to be in Perpignan, and the quote is worked out for that journey.
Starting at Barcelona Airport, the cruise port or Barcelona Sants instead? Name it as the pickup in your request, with the flight number, the ship or the train.
End of the journey
Arrival in Perpignan
Drop-off is at the address you give in Perpignan: a hotel in the old town, a home or an office. Send the street and number, or the name of the hotel.
If you are going on by train, give Perpignan station as the address. Wikipedia lists it on three lines, among them the LGV Perpignan-Figueres, with TGV, Intercités and TER services. For a flight, the drop-off can be Perpignan-Rivesaltes Airport (PGF), which lies near the communes of Perpignan and Rivesaltes.

Why book a private chauffeur
No change at the border
The vehicle that collects you in Barcelona is the one that sets you down in Perpignan, so there is no connection to make at a station or at the border.
Figueres on the way
The routed line passes Figueres, home of the Dalí Theatre-Museum, which opened in 1974 in the town's former Municipal Theatre. To stop there, add the visit and how long you want to stay to your request.
Timed for a train or a flight
Going on from Perpignan station or the airport? Put the departure time in your request, and the pickup in Barcelona is planned back from it.
Everything on one list
Count the guests, the suitcases and anything large, such as bikes or golf bags, and send the full list with the request.
Return from Perpignan to Barcelona
There is no separate page for the Perpignan to Barcelona transfer. Ask for the return in the same request, with its date and time, and we quote both directions.
