Can You Get Ubers in Barcelona?
No, Uber is not available in Barcelona (as of 2025) in the traditional way you might expect. Due to local regulations and the strong influence of the local taxi association, Uber’s standard rideshare service doesn’t operate in the city. But don’t worry—there are plenty of reliable alternatives.
If you’re visiting Barcelona, one of the best ways to get around is public transport, and the Hola Barcelona Travel Card gives you unlimited travel on metro, buses, trams, and even airport transport for up to 5 days for just 17,20 euros.
Cabify is popular, reliable, and the closest alternative to Uber. It offers a very similar app-based experience, allowing you to book rides at your convenience. Cabify cars are licensed as private hire vehicles (similar to Uber’s approach in many other countries) and are typically newer, clean, and offer a higher level of comfort compared to standard taxis. You get the price upfront, which makes budgeting easier, and their customer service is reliable.
