⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips
- Ignore touts outside Arrivals offering cheap taxis; use only the official taxi rank or a pre-booked driver.
- The €33 fixed airport taxi fare does NOT apply to Segovia. The journey is outside the M-30, so the driver must use the Tarifa 3 meter with a €20 minimum.
- Cercanías trains to Chamartín depart only from Terminal 4. If you go to the wrong station or wait at T1/T2/T3, you will miss the connection.
- At ticket machines, do not accept help from strangers handling your bank card; buy tickets at the official Renfe machines or app.
