Last verified:
October 30, 2026
The short answer
The cheapest way is the Plana bus from the airport to Salou and PortAventura, from €15.95 per person. A Mozio private transfer is from €159.80 for the car and €255.60 for a van, so it costs more: you pay for a door-to-door ride at a fixed price, with luggage and kids handled and your flight tracked. For a family or group, one vehicle can work out close to the bus fares for the whole party.

Each option in detail
Mozio private transfer
Price
from €159.80
Typical time
about 1 hour (PortAventura says 1 hour from any terminal)
A private car for up to a few travelers with standard luggage. You see the full price before paying, and it doesn't change with traffic on the AP-7 or with flight delays. Your driver takes you to the resort, so no bus stop or taxi queue with bags. It costs more than the bus: the value is door-to-door and the fixed price.
- Flight tracked: your driver adjusts to delays
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup
- Instant confirmation and 24/7 support
Mozio private van
Price
from €255.60
Typical time
about 1 hour (PortAventura says 1 hour from any terminal)
The pick for families and groups with strollers, car seats and several suitcases. One price for the whole van, split however you like, with the same flight tracking and meet and greet as the private car.

- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup

Taxi
PortAventura confirms taxis are available at the official rank outside the airport but gives no fare. We found no official fixed price for this distance, so we do not quote one. Ask the driver for an estimate before you get in and check what applies for luggage and night or weekend rides.

Public transport
The Plana company runs a regular bus from Terminals 1 and 2 to Tarragona, La Pineda, Salou, Reus and a PortAventura Hotel stop. Its site lists an airport transfer from €15.95 per person, but does not show frequency or journey time, so check the timetable before you plan. By train, the resort has a stop on the Rodalies R17 and RT2 lines, but that service runs from Barcelona city, not the airport; we found no direct airport train. PortAventura warns of service changes between Barcelona and Sant Vicenc de Calders because of Adif works, so check Rodalies before you travel.
Price
from €15.95 per person (bus)
Typical time
about 1 h 30 min or more (estimate)
Rental car
PortAventura lists Avis, OK Mobility and Hertz at the airport and recommends booking in advance. The park suggests the C-32 and AP-7 motorways. A rental car makes sense if you also plan to explore the Costa Dorada. For a short stay at the resort, a transfer or the bus is simpler.
Price
Varies by company
Typical time
about 1 hour (PortAventura says 1 hour from any terminal)
- The Plana bus leaves from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 arrivals on the ground level. Check the timetable and fare on busplana.com before you book.
- The resort has its own Rodalies stop on lines R17 and RT2, but these trains start in Barcelona city, not at the airport.
- Bus arrival times are approximate and can be delayed in traffic, especially on Sunday and holiday afternoons.
- Ignore people offering rides inside the terminal. Use the taxi rank, the bus stop or your pre-booked driver.

How we compiled this guide
Mozio prices are public prices from Mozio's booking system (lowest sedan and van rates for this route, checked 2026-10-26 and again 2026-10-30 for November and July dates). Bus operator and stops, the bus fare, journey time from the airport, taxi rank and Rodalies stop come from the airport, PortAventura and Plana pages opened on 2026-10-30. Uber airport pickup is confirmed on Uber's BCN airport page (opened 2026-10-30). We could not verify taxi fares or bus frequency from official sources; the Uber range is one upfront quote from the Uber website on 2026-11-09, so we leave them out or mark them as estimates. Distance is an estimate.
