Arriving at Santiago de Compostela Airport (SCQ)

Santiago de Compostela Airport (SCQ) lies at Lavacolla, about 12 km east of the cathedral city, the busiest airport in Galicia; O Grove, on the Rías Baixas coast, is about 80 km to the south-west, around an hour by car. Vigo Airport (VGO) is a similar distance to the south.

A little knowledge of Santiago de Compostela Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Santiago de Compostela Airport to O Grove drive begins.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into O Grove once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Santiago de Compostela Airport to O Grove transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

About O Grove

O Grove is a fishing town on a small peninsula in the Ría de Arousa and one of the great seafood centres of Spain, where mussel rafts float in calm water and the harbour fills with boats every morning. A bridge leads to the little island of A Toxa, with its spa hotels, pine trees and a chapel covered in scallop shells. The long dunes of A Lanzada beach, the Siradella viewpoint and catamaran trips among the mussel rafts complete the visit, and every October a famous seafood festival fills the town.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for O Grove transfers

We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Santiago de Compostela Airport to O Grove route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
