Airport transfers Alicante

You can start enjoying the delights of the Costa Blanca all the sooner if you pre-book an airport transfer from Alicante Airport.

The airport is the gateway to Spain’s White Coast which offers a bit of something for everyone, from nightclubs in Alicante, Benidorm’s family-friendly beaches, Torrevieja’s boutiques and Murcia’s world-class tapas bars.

Choose to get the airport bus and you’ll be dropped off somewhere in Alicante city centre in around 30 minutes, with a further walk or bus ride required to get to your accommodation. And that’s if there’s transport available to take you right away – you may find yourself queueing in the scorching sun. Alternatively, you can spend 20 minutes in a private airport transfer vehicle and be driven straight to your hotel’s doorstep.

If budget is a major factor, you could bag a cheap airport transfer from Alicante Airport by looking out for the discounts and deals offered by companies in TravelSupermarket’s airport transfer directory. A cheap shared shuttle is a great compromise on convenience and cost, while large groups may find that pre-booked airport transfers work out much cheaper too. Make the comparison to see if a private minibus saves money on a per head basis; there’s no doubt it will be less stressful than getting everyone in taxis or on the same bus at the same time!

If you’re headed to Benidorm, make the decision to pre-book a private airport transfer and you’ll have much more time to take in this exciting city’s beaches, waterparks, food and nightlife. Folk making a beeline for Jávea’s beachside cocktails bars and historic interest can shave an hour off travel time with a private transfer, while serious foodies could find themselves dining on fresh cuttlefish eggs at the exclusive three-Michelin-starred Quique Dacosta in Denia after just one hour in a private transfer – providing they’ve pre-booked a table, of course!

Heading south from Alicante airport, a private airport transfer knocks precious time off getting to Murcia, where you could be enjoying some of the world’s best tapas at least 20 minutes sooner if you opt for a private airport transfer over public transport – and that’s before you’ve accounted for the time it takes to figure out which bus to take, bought a ticket and queued to board. Door-to-door convenience vs head-scratching time-suck: there’s no competition!
