Transfers from Alicante Airport to Alicante City Centre

With prices starting as low as £8.90pp with FREE cancellations and amendments, booking your Alicante Airport to Alicante city centre transfer in advance is the quickest way to get from touchdown to the Esplanada without messing about with bus timetables or taxi ranks.

Alicante Airport (ALC) is only around 11km from the city centre, so this is one of our shortest transfers - most private cars make it in 15-20 minutes down the A-70 and N-338. That doesn't mean it's worth leaving to chance, though. Skip the queue for the C6 airport bus or the taxi rank outside arrivals and pre-book a private taxi straight to your hotel door, a shared minibus if you're travelling on your own and happy to share, or an executive car if you want to arrive in style for a business trip or a special occasion. There will be no queues, no haggling over fares, and no hidden costs. Plus, our award-winning team are always on hand for you if you have any questions or issues!

What are my Alicante city centre transfer options?

Because it's such a short hop, the right choice usually comes down to how much luggage you've got and whether you'd rather share with other arriving passengers or head straight there without any detours. A shared minibus keeps costs down if you're happy with a couple of stops along the way, while a private taxi or minibus is worth it if you land late at night, have young kids in tow, or just want to get to your hotel near the Explanada de España without any fuss.

Why book your Alicante city centre transfer in advance?

Transfers from Alicante Airport to Alicante City Centre - FAQs

How far is Alicante city centre from the airport?

Alicante city centre is around 11km from Alicante Airport (ALC). A private taxi takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic on the A-70. A shared minibus takes a little longer, around 30 minutes, as it may pick up or drop off other passengers along the way.

Is it worth booking a transfer for such a short journey?

Yes - short doesn't mean queue-free. Alicante Airport's taxi rank can get busy in peak season and public buses like the C6 run on a timetable rather than to your schedule. A pre-booked transfer means a fixed price and a driver waiting for you regardless of what time your flight actually lands.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

If your flight to Alicante Airport is delayed, don't worry. There's a contact number on your e-ticket, so give that a call so they can assist and adjust your pickup time.

Yes! If you're only needing to get from your hotel in Alicante city centre back to the airport you can book a one way transfer. Just enter your city centre address as the Pick Up destination and Alicante Airport (ALC) as the Drop Off and click "not returning" on the booking engine.
