Airport Taxi to Soller
On most days there are plenty of taxis waiting at Palma airport and they wait outside of arrivals on the ground floor. This makes taking a taxi an easy option, although at peak times passengers may have to queue.
Parking spaces in and around Soller old town and Soller Port during the summer can be hard to find. Therefore, a taxi transfer helps avoid parking problems and any stress from driving.
Taxis at Palma airport have fixed fares but it’s best to get a price as there are variables. Taxi prices can range depending on the time of day and holidays. A Taxi for 1-4 persons to Soller is around €70.
Most airport taxis at Palma will only take 4 passengers per taxi. So groups of five will need a second taxi if there are no larger taxis available and this will cost more. This would apply even if one of the passengers is a small child or a baby, hence two taxis will cost double.
