Lloret de Mar is one of the busiest destinations on the Costa Brava, and getting there is not complicated, but it is rarely direct by public transport. A private transfer is practical for families with luggage, groups travelling to a hotel or wedding, and travellers who do not want to change at a station. I plan the route, the pick-up time and the vehicle with you.
This page covers the transfer from the city. Arriving by plane? See Barcelona airport to Lloret de Mar. For the wider coast, see Barcelona to the Costa Brava.
Barcelona to Lloret de Mar: distance and time
Lloret de Mar is 75 km from Plaça de Catalunya, about 1 h without traffic. On a quiet weekday morning the real drive is close to that. Summer weekends, the start and end of holiday periods and Sunday evenings are busier. You can open the route on Google Maps.
Visitor information about the town and coast is on the official Catalonia tourism site.
Price for a day in Lloret de Mar
A day on the Costa Brava is booked as a driver at your disposal. The vehicle and driver stay with you and bring you back to Barcelona. The estimate is a round trip of 1 h each way plus 4 hours on site, which comes to 6 hours of hire, the daily minimum. Prices are in euros and include VAT.
| Vehicle | Passengers | 6 hours of hire |
|---|---|---|
| Mercedes E-Class | up to 3 | €470 |
| Mercedes V-Class | up to 7 | €470 |
| Mercedes Sprinter | up to 16 | €610 |
| Minibus | up to 33 | €685 |
| Coach | up to 60 | €685 |
| Mercedes S-Class (hourly only) | up to 3 | €745 |
Extra hours are charged at the hourly rate: €80 for the E-Class or V-Class, €90 for the Sprinter, €110 for the minibus or coach and €125 for the S-Class. See the full prices page.
A one-way transfer, for example to a hotel in Lloret de Mar with no return, is not in the table, so I quote it on request. I do not put a figure on a one-way trip until I know the pick-up point and the vehicle.
Which vehicle for Lloret de Mar
- E-Class. Up to 3 passengers. For a couple or a small party with luggage.
- V-Class. Up to 7 passengers. The practical choice for a family with cases and a pushchair.
- Sprinter. Up to 16 passengers. Suits a wedding party, a group of friends or a company trip. See Sprinter van with driver.
- Minibus or coach. Up to 33 or 60 passengers, for school, sport and association groups. See coach hire.
Taxi, train, bus or private transfer
Searches for this route bring up trains, buses, taxis and ride apps. I do not publish public fares or times, since they change; check Renfe and the bus operators for those. A private transfer answers a different question: how do I get a group and its luggage to the hotel, on my timetable, in one go?
- Door to door. The driver collects you at your address and drops you at the hotel.
- Luggage. Suitcases stay in the vehicle; you do not carry them across stations.
- Your timing. You choose the departure rather than working around a timetable.
- One vehicle for the party. Everyone travels together, which helps with mixed ages.
Linking Lloret de Mar with other stops
A day on this coast often includes a second town. Tossa de Mar is nearby, and a longer day can include Girona or Figueres. Those are hourly hire or quoted on request. Tell me the places and how long you want in each, and I confirm the hours. See Barcelona to Tossa de Mar for the next town along.
One-way transfer or day with a return
Two different bookings sit behind the search for this route, and it helps to know which one you want.
- One-way transfer. You travel to a hotel, a villa or an event in Lloret de Mar and the vehicle returns without you. This is quoted on request.
- Day with a return. The vehicle and driver stay with you, you spend the day on the coast, and you are driven back to Barcelona. This is hourly hire, and the table above gives the estimate.
If you are not sure which fits, tell me the plan. A one-way transfer is usually the better fit when you stay overnight. The day option works when you want to see the coast and return the same evening.
From Barcelona airport or Girona airport
Many people search for the airport route rather than the city. Guests land at Barcelona, or at Girona, and go straight to the coast. These are different journeys from a hotel pick-up in the city, because the pick-up point and the timing depend on the flight. I cover Barcelona airport on its own page, Barcelona airport to Lloret de Mar, and official airport information is on the Barcelona airport site.
For any airport booking, send the flight number, the arrival time and the number of bags. I quote it by e-mail or WhatsApp and confirm the vehicle before you travel.
Weddings, groups and events on the coast
Lloret de Mar hosts wedding parties, school and sports groups, and corporate events. A single vehicle helps keep a group together. A Sprinter or minibus suits a wedding party travelling to a venue, and a coach suits a school or club. For wedding transport in particular, see weddings in Barcelona, and for company days see corporate event chauffeur.
Tell me the group size, the luggage and whether anyone has reduced mobility. I choose the vehicle with that in mind and plan the pick-up time so the party arrives together.
Is it worth a private transfer to Lloret de Mar?
A private transfer is worth it when you travel with luggage, with children, or as a group, and when the cost per person is acceptable to you. For a single traveller with a light bag who is happy to follow a timetable, public transport may suit better. I do not publish public fares, so compare the figures yourself. The point of a private transfer is the convenience, the vehicle chosen for your party and the departure time that suits you.
