if I have the wrong end of the stick I apologise - but you'd be better off & safer looking for recommendations of licensed taxi companies

I thought they were asking for a lift?

Surely that is not illegal?

they offered 'reimbursement of petrol/time'

isn't that payment?

petrol - OK, that's expenses - but time - that's payment

to help you understand,
We are a small childrens charity, sending
deserving local children and their families on a much needed
holiday. What I am asking for, is for someone who is in a position to donate
A lift to and from the airport.
Mum and 2 children, (mum does not drive)
arriving with 1 child's car seat and one child's booster seat.
(all within the law)
hope someone maybe able to help?
The money saved by not using the a taxi,
would mean we could send over another deserving child.
Many Thanks.

yes, I see that now

I hope you do find someone to donate a free lift - I just wanted you to understand that offering any kind of payment could lead to a sticky situation - for both the mother & the kids, and the charity

unfortunately there are a lot of illegal taxis operating in Spain, preying on those who want to save money by not using a legal one
