Taxi and transfer from Alicante Airport to Benidorm

Benidorm is around 60 km from Alicante Airport by road. The route runs north along the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coast road, skirting Sant Joan d'Alacant, El Campello and Villajoyosa before dropping into the bay. Most transfers use the motorway, which is the faster of the two options in almost all traffic conditions.

Private transfers to Benidorm usually take 50 minutes, whereas shared shuttles can go up to 70 to 80 minutes. Traffic on the AP-7 is usually light, so the main variables are the time of day and where in Benidorm you're staying. Levante and Poniente beach hotels are a few minutes apart, while addresses in Rincón de Loix or up towards Sierra Helada sit slightly further from the main road.

Alicante Airport has a direct scheduled coach service to Benidorm, stopping at Benidorm bus station and Avenida Europa. There's no train or tram link from the airport. Both stops are set points in the resort, so a local bus or taxi is still needed to reach your accommodation. A private or shared transfer takes you directly to your address at a fixed price.

A metered taxi from Alicante Airport to Benidorm can cost anywhere between €60 and €80 depending on traffic, time of day, luggage, and vehicle size. Larger vehicles for groups cost more. With a pre-booked airport transfer, the price is confirmed at the point of booking rather than at the end of the journey.

Private transfers are the most direct option, taking you from arrivals to your accommodation in one journey at a fixed price. The scheduled coach service is cheapest but drops at set stops, so a local taxi may be needed for the last leg. Shared transfers sit between the two on price, dropping you at your accommodation along the way. If you're travelling with a bicycle or a baby buggy, both can be added as extras at the point of booking.

You can book a return private transfer or shared shuttle with Suntransfers, taking you directly to the airport from your pickup point. The ALSA coach also runs from Benidorm, with the first departure at 06:00 and the last at 22:10. For flights outside those hours, a pre-booked transfer or taxi is the only realistic option.

Yes, transfers from Alicante Airport serve Benidorm's Old Town as well as the beach resorts. Several streets in the old town are narrow or pedestrianised, so your driver may stop at the nearest accessible point rather than directly outside the door. Confirming the exact street address at booking guarantees the closest possible drop-off.

Private transfers require at least 48 hours' notice to confirm and assign a driver. Booking as soon as your flight is confirmed is the best way to secure your preferred vehicle and pickup time, particularly during peak summer months when demand is highest.
