Airport Transportation in Alicante

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Alicante takes you from Alicante-Elche Airport to hotels and apartments in Alicante and at Playa de San Juan, to Elche and Santa Pola, south to Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa, and north along the Costa Blanca to Benidorm.

Alicante Airport Transfers

Alicante airport transfers start in the arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, even on summer days when several UK flights land together, and you choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Alicante airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa in Alicante, Elche, Santa Pola, Benidorm, Torrevieja or a residential community on the Orihuela Costa. Going on to Altea, Calpe, Jávea or Dénia farther north? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Alicante Airport Shuttle

Our Alicante airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared coach that stops at other hotels along the coast. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and golf bags, and suits families and groups heading to Benidorm, Torrevieja or a villa on the Costa Blanca.

Landing at Alicante Airport

Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC) is the airport for Alicante, Elche and the Costa Blanca, at El Altet near the coast, between the two cities. All flights use a single terminal, opened in March 2011.

Flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. If you come from outside the Schengen area, as many passengers here do from the UK, you queue at passport control, and queues can build in summer when several UK flights land together. After baggage claim you come out into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.

Spain is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the euro.

Local notes

Schengen entry

Spain is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Villa and development addresses

Many villas and apartments on the Costa Blanca are in residential developments with similar-looking streets and gates, so give the development name, street, house number and any gate code when you book.

Summer arrivals

Passport queues for UK and other non-Schengen flights are longest in summer; we follow your flight, so there is no need to rush.

Euro and cards

Alicante Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Alicante Airport?

In the arrivals hall of the single terminal, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and customs.

How far is Alicante Airport from Alicante?

The airport is at El Altet, about 9 km (5.5 miles) southwest of Alicante city and about 10 km east of Elche.

Is there a Benidorm airport?

No. Benidorm has no airport of its own; travelers to Benidorm fly into Alicante-Elche Airport, south along the coast, and we drive you from there to your hotel or apartment in Benidorm.

Can you take me to Benidorm?

Yes. We drive door to door to hotels, apartments and villas in Benidorm, including the Levante and Poniente beach areas.

Can you take me to Torrevieja or the Orihuela Costa?

Yes. We drive south along the coast to hotels, apartments and villas in Torrevieja and the residential communities of the Orihuela Costa.

Can you take me to Elche, Santa Pola or Playa de San Juan?

Yes. Elche and Santa Pola are close to the airport, and Playa de San Juan is the beach district north of Alicante city; we drive you door to door.

Can you take me to Altea, Calpe or Jávea?

Altea, Calpe and Jávea are on the northern Costa Blanca, beyond Benidorm. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Can you take me to Murcia?

Murcia is inland, in the neighboring region southwest of Alicante. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Is Alicante Airport the same as Elche Airport?

Yes. Its full name is Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport. It sits at El Altet, which belongs to Elche, so it serves both cities and the whole Costa Blanca.

Do you drive to villas and vacation rentals?

Yes. Give the development name, street, house number and any gate code, so your driver can find the door and load your bags quickly.

Is there a train from Alicante Airport?

No. There is no train or tram to the airport yet; bus C6 runs to Alicante city center, and other buses go to Benidorm and Torrevieja. A private transfer goes door to door, which is easier with luggage.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Alicante Airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight to Alicante is delayed?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver at Alicante Airport waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Alicante Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, apartment or villa. Give your flight number and departure time so the pickup is set for check-in and security.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport?

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that books rides from ALC; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminals, airlines and other ways to get around, see our Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport page.
