In a word or two; yes you will need full public liability insurance.
You will also require a Taxi Licence...

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, are you sure when starting a airport transfer service I need a taxi licence ?

To do it legally,yes you do.Taxi drivers need a licence what makes you think you can take away their living doing the same work without one.Would you do this in the UK ?

You still need all the relevent insurance and licence as you will be taking passengersin your car.This is still classed as hire and reward in Spain.

You'll need to license and you'll be in a long list of businesses, like this one for instance.

There are hundreds based all around Spain and her airports, the hardest bit is trying to get away from them.
