I am walking the full Camino. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to have this much time off between jobs in my vocation and that is why i planned it when I did. There was not the ability to do it any other time of year as I would be at old or new job and the maximum I could have off at a time would be 2 weeks, not 5 weeks. I am asking if anyone wants to share a taxi ride or split rideshare with me 5 April 2023 sometime after 2pm. Otherwise, I will have to pay a lot for just myself to get that hour and a half ride. Thank you!Why don't you start your Camino from Pamplona if you are on such a tight schedule?
And furthermore: keep in mind that the Semana Santa (Holy Week) is one of the busiest periods of the year as Spanish and French people have a few days off and walk a part of the Camino during that long weekend. Especially in the 'bottleneck' between SJPdP and Pamplona hundreds of people are walking then. Difficult to find a bed, so make reservations! Last year I was in the albergue of Roncesvalles during the Semana Santa and it was full every night (245 beds), much to our regret we had to send many pilgrims away, some had to taxi to Pamplona as there were no beds available in the albergues between Roncesvalles and Pamplona!
i Hope you have some positive responses soon , I understand what you are asking , not a new thing on this forum . There are now several negative responses from forum members who know what is best for us! We want to start from SJPdP and we need a ride from Pamplona ,! Why do the others get confused?
Thank you, Trecile. I hadn’t seen this one yet. Will give it a shot.You can reserve a taxi with this company, and they will try to pool you with other pilgrims to share the cost.

Is it typical with this site to only offer bicycles to rent at a very high price and no taxis, in your experience? Bicycles were the only option that came up with multiple searches for taxi transit between Pamplona and SJPdP on the date I requested.You can reserve a taxi with this company, and they will try to pool you with other pilgrims to share the cost.

I think that you may have misread, or their translation to English is not the best.Is it typical with this site to only offer bicycles to rent at a very high price and no taxis, in your experience?

Thanks
That's good to read, you have it sorted then.I read where they said that and understood it was an "either" situation. What I am saying is that after I listed day and time of my request following prompts, the only options they listed were bicycles. To circumvent this, I just emailed them with specific request since the website doesn't currently allow for me to book taxi/rideshare online. Thanks
Thank you Kathar1na,That's good to read, you have it sorted then.
My guess is, like @trecile's, that this is not the best webpage design. If you don't want to have bikes transported with you, you don't click the corresponding "select" buttons for extra options. If you do, they will change to green. You continue the booking with only the top green button activated. Buen Camino!

HelloHello Pilgrims
I am very excited to embark on this pilgrimage beginning Holy Week this year and meet many others from around the world on this spiritual and physical journey. However, I do still need a ride from Pamplona, Spain to SJPP, France at 2pm or later on 5 April 2023. My train does not arrive in Pamplona until ~ 1:50pm (after the once a day bus leaves) and I need to get to SJPP that day to get my official Camino passport and start walking bright and early 6 April 2023. I must stay on schedule as I'm planning to make it to Fisterra by 8 May 2023 to be able to get on my 9 May 2023 early afternoon flight out of Madrid. If anyone or ones would be interested in splitting a taxi or rideshare, please let me know. (phone number and email address removed by moderator - please use private conversation function to get in touch) Buen Camino!!
Thank you and God Bless
