Look, if you're flying into Alicante airport and wondering how to get to your Costa Blanca destination without the hassle, you've found the right place. We're Alicante Shuttle Transfers, and we've been moving passengers around this region long enough to know exactly what works and what doesn't.
Here's the thing most people don't realise about Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport: it's Spain's 5th busiest airport, handling roughly 18.4 million passengers in 2024. That's a 17% increase from the previous year. What does this mean for you? More flights, more passengers, and definitely more chaos if you don't have your transport sorted.
From budget-friendly shared shuttles to premium private transfers, we have the perfect solution for every traveler and budget.
Cost-effective shared transfers with maximum 5-6 stops
When your flight touches down at Alicante airport, you've got several options. You can queue for a taxi (good luck with that during peak season), rent a private vehicle and navigate unfamiliar Spanish roads, or take public transport with all your luggage. Or you can do what smart travellers do: book Alicante airport transfers that actually work.
From January to April 2025, Alicante airport welcomed 5.43 million passengers - that's a 12.7% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This surge means one thing: demand for reliable airport transfers has never been higher.
We've seen every type of transfer disaster you can imagine. Passengers stranded because their taxi never showed. Families dragging suitcases through multiple bus changes. Groups paying through the nose for separate private cars when a shared shuttle would've cost a fraction of the price.
That's why we built our Alicante airport transfer service differently.


Here's what happens when you book with us. You land at Alicante airport, grab your luggage, and head to our designated pick up point in the arrivals hall. No hunting around. No confusion. Our driver waiting with your name clearly displayed.
Our shuttle buses aren't the cramped, uncomfortable vehicles you might be imagining. These are modern, air-conditioned coaches designed for Costa Blanca's climate. Each passenger gets proper luggage space - we're talking one large suitcase and hand luggage as standard.
The beauty of our shared shuttle service? You're not paying private transfer prices, but you're getting professional service. Most shuttle bus transfers from Alicante airport to Benidorm take between 45 and 75 minutes, depending on traffic and stops.
But here's where we differ from other shuttle services. We don't make endless stops. Our routes are planned to minimise waiting time while keeping costs down. Maximum 5-6 stops on most routes, guaranteed departure windows, and we track your flight number so delays don't mess up your booking.
Let's talk numbers, because this is where shuttle transfers really shine. A taxi from Alicante airport can cost anywhere from €50-80. Private transfers might run you €60-100. Our shared shuttle? You're looking at €7.50-15 per person.
But it's not just about money. Our professional drivers know these Costa Blanca routes better than anyone. They know which roads to avoid during rush hour, where the roadworks are, and the quickest route to every major hotel and resort.
With private cars, you get one shot. If something goes wrong, you're stuck. With our shuttle bus network, we've got backup vehicles, alternative routes, and customer service that actually picks up the phone.
Here's something most people don't consider: our shuttle buses are actually more environmentally friendly and cost effective. Instead of multiple private vehicles making the same journey, one efficient shuttle transports multiple passengers. Better for the planet, better for traffic, better for everyone.


The Alicante region covers a massive area, and we serve all the popular destinations. Benidorm is our most popular route - it's the heart of Costa Blanca tourism and our shuttle buses run there multiple times daily.
But we also cover Calpe, Albir, Denia, Javea, Benissa Costa, Pilar de la Horadada and the white coast resorts further south. Each route is priced according to distance, but you'll find our rates competitive: Benidorm €7.50-15, Calpe/Albir €16-20, South Costa Blanca destinations €18-28.
Our professional drivers know every hotel, every resort, every rental property in these areas. When you book door service with us, we're not dropping you at the nearest main road. We're getting you as close to your final destination as possible.
Costa Blanca has beautiful beaches, but getting there shouldn't be stressful. That's why our booking process is straightforward. You enter your flight details, your destination, and passenger numbers. We handle the rest.
"Outstanding service from start to finish! Driver arrived early, helped with our luggage, and made the journey to Torrevieja so comfortable. Highly recommend!"
"Used this service multiple times and never disappointed. Professional drivers who speak excellent English and always arrive on time. Best transport in Costa Blanca!"
"Perfect for families! They provided child seats for our twins and helped carry all our holiday gear. Much safer and easier than rental cars."
"Excellent value for money. Clean vehicles, friendly drivers, and they tracked our delayed flight automatically. Made our Calpe vacation start perfectly!"
"Very reliable service! Booked for our group of 8 and they provided a spacious bus. Driver was punctual and knew all the best routes to Javea."
"Fantastic experience every time we visit Alicante. Professional service, modern vehicles, and drivers who go above and beyond to help. Simply the best!"
Here's what happens when you don't pre-book your transfer. You land tired after your flight, you're carrying luggage, maybe you've got small children or elderly family members with you. Now you're negotiating prices with taxi drivers, waiting in long taxi queues, or trying to figure out public transport in a foreign country.
We've seen passengers pay double or triple normal rates because they had no choice. Airport taxi drivers know you're stuck, and some take advantage.
When you pre-book with us, you lock in your fixed price. No surge pricing, no last-minute surprises. You know exactly what you're paying before you even leave home.
Our secure online payment system means you can book months in advance. And unlike many operators, we offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel. Plans change, flights get cancelled - we get it.
Most importantly, when you pre-book, we guarantee your space. During peak season, trying to get transport on the day is risky. Our shuttle buses run to schedule, and your seat is reserved.


Not all alicante transfers are the same. We offer both standard shared shuttles and express services, depending on what you need.
Our standard shared shuttle service makes stops at major hotels and popular resorts along the route. It's cost effective, reliable, and perfect for most travellers. You might have other passengers, but our routes are efficient.
Our express shuttle service limits stops to 3-4 locations maximum. If you're travelling to popular destinations like central Benidorm or major resort areas, this might be your fastest option. Express services typically cost €2-5 more per person but cut journey times significantly.
For large group bookings (8+ passengers), we can arrange dedicated shuttles. This gives you the convenience of private transport with the reliability of our professional service.
Every shuttle bus in our fleet is less than 5 years old. We maintain them to the highest standards because breakdowns help no one. Our vehicles have comfortable seating, air conditioning, and storage space designed for holiday luggage.
But the real difference is our professional drivers. These aren't seasonal workers who don't know the area. Our professional drivers live in the Costa Blanca region. They know the roads, they speak English and Spanish, and they're trained in excellent service.
We also provide child seats and baby seats when requested in advance. If you're travelling with small children, just let us know when booking. Baby seats are available for infants, and we can accommodate various age groups. Same goes for passengers who need mobility assistance - our drivers are trained to help, and our vehicles are equipped accordingly.
Our reliable service doesn't end when you board the shuttle. We provide an emergency number for all bookings. If something goes wrong, if you can't find the meeting point, if your plans change - call us.


The booking process is designed to be simple. You'll need your flight number, arrival time, destination address, and passenger details. Including your flight number is crucial because we track arrivals and adjust pick up time for delays.
When you book, you'll receive email confirmation with detailed instructions. This includes exactly where to meet your driver in the arrivals hall, what to do if you can't find them, and contact numbers for the day of travel.
We recommend booking at least 48 hours before travel, but we can often accommodate last-minute bookings. During July, August, and peak holiday periods, book earlier to guarantee availability.
Payment is processed through our secure online payment system, and you'll have an e ticket on your phone. No need to print anything, just show your booking confirmation to the driver.
For return journey bookings, you can arrange pickup from your accommodation. Just give us your travel dates and departure flight details.
Flight delays happen. Weather, air traffic control, technical issues - it's part of modern travel. The difference with our service is that we plan for this.
When you provide your flight number during booking, we automatically track your arrival. If your flight is delayed by 2 hours, your shuttle pickup is automatically moved back 2 hours. No extra charges, no rebooking fees.
If your flight is cancelled, we offer full refunds or free date changes (subject to availability). We're not trying to keep your money when circumstances beyond your control mess up your plans.
For early arrivals, we can sometimes accommodate earlier pickups, but this depends on our schedule. Always better to stick with your original pick up time unless you've confirmed changes with our customer service team.


Our standard luggage allowance covers what most travellers bring: one large suitcase plus hand luggage per passenger. If you're bringing sports equipment, musical instruments, or unusual items, let us know when booking.
Families travelling with pushchairs or buggies - no problem. Our vehicles have dedicated storage space. Same for passengers who need to transport mobility aids.
For large group bookings, we offer special rates for 8+ passengers travelling together. This can work out cheaper than individual bookings and guarantees you're all on the same shuttle.
Wedding parties, corporate groups, sports teams - we handle large group transport regularly. Just give us advance notice so we can arrange appropriate vehicles.
Costa Blanca weather is generally excellent, but summer temperatures can reach 35°C+. Our air-conditioned shuttles make the journey comfortable regardless of outside temperature.
Peak season (July-September) and major holidays see the highest demand. During these periods, airport traffic is heavier and journey times may be slightly longer. We factor this into our schedules.
Winter months see fewer flights but we maintain regular services. If you're visiting during quieter periods, you might find yourself in a smaller shuttle or sharing with fewer passengers.
Spanish holiday periods (Easter, August, Christmas) affect local traffic patterns. Our professional drivers know these patterns and adjust routes accordingly.


All our vehicles undergo regular safety inspections beyond legal requirements. Our professional drivers hold professional licences and receive ongoing training in customer service and safety procedures.
We carry full commercial insurance covering all passengers and luggage. Every journey is covered from pickup to final destination.
Our vehicles are equipped with safety features including seat belts, emergency exits, and first aid equipment. Drivers are trained in emergency procedures.
We maintain excellent service records because reliable service builds trust. When you book with Alicante Shuttle Transfers, you're booking with a company that's been doing this properly for years.
Let's break down the real costs. A family of four taking a taxi from Alicante airport to Benidorm pays €50-80. The same family on our shared shuttle pays €30-60 total. The savings add up quickly.
Car rental initially looks cheap until you add insurance, fuel, parking, and the stress of driving in unfamiliar territory. Plus you need to return the car, which means another trip to the airport.
Public transport might be cheapest, but try managing that with luggage, tired children, and language barriers. The time and stress cost isn't worth the small savings.
Our shuttle buses offer the best balance of cost, convenience, and reliable service. You're not paying premium prices, but you're getting great service.


We've transported hundreds of thousands of passengers over the years. Families arriving for two-week holidays, business travellers on quick trips, elderly couples who need assistance with luggage.
The feedback is consistent: passengers appreciate knowing exactly what they're paying, having guaranteed transport waiting, and drivers who actually care about getting them to their final destination safely and on time.
One thing passengers often mention is how much more relaxed their holiday starts when transport is sorted. No stress about finding a taxi, no worry about getting lost, just a comfortable journey to their accommodation.
We believe quality transport shouldn't break the bank. That's why we've structured our low cost transfers to give you maximum value without cutting corners on service.
Our shared shuttle model means you're sharing costs with other passengers heading to similar destinations. It's simple economics - instead of just you paying for an entire vehicle, costs are split between multiple travellers.
But "low cost" doesn't mean "low quality" with us. Same professional drivers, same modern vehicles, same great communication throughout your journey.


Unlike many transfer companies that drop you at the nearest main road, we offer door service to your actual accommodation. Whether you're staying at a city center hotel, a resort in popular destinations, or a private villa, we'll get you as close as possible to your final destination.
Our driver knows the local area inside out. They know which streets are accessible, where the hotel entrances are, and how to navigate to even the most obscure rental properties.
This door service is included in our standard pricing - no hidden extras, no surprise charges when you arrive.
We handle transfers for every type of traveller. Business passengers who need reliable, punctual service. Families with small children who need baby seats and extra luggage space. Large group celebrating special occasions.
Our airport transfer service adapts to your needs, not the other way around. Flying in for a wedding? We'll coordinate with your group's arrival times. Business trip with tight schedules? We guarantee you'll make your meetings.
Every airport transfer comes with the same commitment: get you from Alicante airport to your destination safely, comfortably, and on time.


Here's the reality about Spanish airports during peak season: chaos. Thousands of passengers arriving hourly, limited taxi availability, and surge pricing when demand spikes.
When you prebook with us, you skip all that stress. Your driver is waiting for you at the arrivals hall with your name clearly displayed. Your seat is reserved regardless of how busy the airport gets.
Pre booking also means fixed pricing. No matter what taxi rates do on the day, your price is locked in when you book.
Every transfer from Alicante airport starts the same way: you collect your luggage and head to our designated meeting point. We'll send you detailed instructions with your e ticket, including photos of exactly where to go.
Our waiting time policy is generous - we know flights can be delayed, customs can be slow, and luggage sometimes takes forever. We build buffer time into every pickup.
If you can't find us, call the emergency number on your booking confirmation. We'll guide you to the right location or send someone to find you.


Alicante airport serves the entire Costa Blanca region, making it the natural choice for transfers from Alicante to virtually any destination along the coast. From Denia in the north to the white coast resorts in the south, we cover it all.
The airport's location means most popular resorts are within 90 minutes' drive. Compare that to other regional airports where you might face 2-3 hour journeys.
Plus, transfers from Alicante benefit from excellent road infrastructure. The AP-7 motorway connects all major coastal destinations, making journey times predictable and reliable.
We don't just promise excellent service - we deliver it every day. That means professional drivers who arrive on time, vehicles that are clean and comfortable, and customer service that solves problems instead of creating them.
Our service standards cover everything from how our driver greets you at the airport to how they handle your luggage. Every detail matters when you're tired from travelling and just want to get to your hotel.


Great service doesn't have to cost a fortune. We've built our business model around providing premium quality transfers at prices that make sense for regular travellers.
Our pricing is transparent - what you see when you book is what you pay. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no "airport supplements" added at the last minute. Just you and fair, upfront pricing that makes sense.
Modern travel means flight delays are common. That's why we track every flight number in our system. When your arrival time changes, your pickup time automatically adjusts.
This flight tracking means you don't need to stress about delays or call us with updates. We're monitoring your progress and adjusting our schedule accordingly.
Just make sure you provide the correct flight number when booking. It's the key to our seamless service experience.


Unlike many transfer companies with limited opening hours, we operate 24/7 to match flight schedules. Red-eye arrivals, early morning departures, late night connections - we're available when you need us.
Our customer service team maintains opening hours that cover peak travel times, but our emergency number is available around the clock for urgent issues.
Whether you're staying at a luxury resort, a budget hotel, or a private rental, we'll get you there. Our driver knows virtually every accommodation in the Costa Blanca region.
For hotel drop-offs, we'll take you directly to the main entrance. For private accommodation, we'll get as close as access roads allow.


From the moment you land at Alicante airport to arrival at your final destination, we handle every detail. Your driver waiting at the arrivals hall, assistance with luggage, comfortable journey in modern vehicles, and delivery to your exact destination.
This complete service approach means you only deal with one company, one booking, one payment. Simple, straightforward, reliable.
Don't forget about your return journey! When you book your arrival transfer, consider booking your flight home transfer at the same time. This locks in return pricing and guarantees availability for your departure.
We'll coordinate pickup times based on your departure flight schedule, allowing plenty of time for check-in and security.


Many visitors want to explore Alicante's historic old town or stay in the city center before heading to beach resorts. We provide transfers to all central Alicante locations.
The old town is compact and walkable, but getting there from the airport with luggage can be challenging. Our service eliminates that hassle.
Tired of unreliable taxi service? Our shuttle transfers offer a dependable alternative that actually shows up on time. Unlike taxi services that can disappear during peak periods, we maintain scheduled services regardless of demand.
Our fixed pricing also beats surge-pricing taxi rates during busy periods.


Great communication starts before you even arrive. We'll send booking confirmations, pickup instructions, and contact details well before your travel date.
On the day of travel, we maintain communication through our customer service team and direct driver contact when needed.
We've built this business around one simple principle: get passengers from Alicante airport to their destination safely, reliably, and at fair prices. Everything we do serves that goal.
Our fleet, our driver, our booking system, our customer service - it's all designed to make your transfer as smooth as possible. We're not the cheapest option (anyone charging less is probably cutting corners), but we're excellent value for reliable, professional service.
When you're planning your Costa Blanca holiday, transport from the airport should be the easy part. Book with us, and it will be.
