How To Get To Madrid For The Champions League Final

Extortionate Prices For Flights To Madrid

With Tottenham and Liverpool both getting to the champions league final, thousands of fans from the UK are all trying to get to Madrid to see this all English final. One big problem many people have encountered is the price of flights to Madrid, costing over £1000. Frankly, this is unfair, and people should have a chance to see their football team play in such a prestigious event without spending so much. As a result of this we decided to conduct some research of alternative ways to get to the game without burning a hole in your pocket.

Drive From The UK To Madrid!

The first way is that you can drive all the way to Madrid! Yes, people are actually doing this and apart from the monstrous journey this might not be a bad idea. If we use an example of 63mpg, for your car to get there and back would cost, about £140 in petrol. That is not taking into account any toll roads that you might have to pay. Also as the drive is over 21 hours you might want to add an overnight stay to break up the journey. Nevertheless, this is the cheapest by a long way, but is also the longest, so the choice is it up to you. If your car is old and not reliable, we offer cross border car hire from the UK so you have a car you can rely on. For this offer please contact the reservations team directly via call or email.

Fly Then Hire A Car

The other ways to get there involve getting a flight to somewhere else then finding your way to the Madrid from there. If you are going with just 1 or 2 people you might want to check the train prices from the airport to Madrid. If there is more than 2 of you then car hire is probably the cheapest option. Below is a table of different locations you can fly to and how much car hire from there would cost to get to Madrid and back. For some of the flights instead of flying from Liverpool airport we used Manchester Airport as it was a lot cheaper. We used Skyscanner for flight prices and all the prices are accurate as of the 5th May 2019 but may change as they are on a live price rate system.

• Tolls and parking are not included.

• Prices are based on the smallest and cheapest car.
