Alicante airport taxi to city centre

Two options for your journey from Alicante Airport

Alicante-Elche Airport has an official taxi rank located right outside the arrivals exit. All taxis are regulated by the Elche municipality and fitted with a meter. Alternatively, private transfers booked online offer a fixed price agreed in advance and the guarantee of a driver waiting for you with a sign showing your name.

Official taxi — rank in front of the terminal

The official ALC taxi applies a metered fare plus an airport surcharge. The trip to Alicante centre usually costs 20 to 28 euros depending on traffic and luggage. For Benidorm, expect 95 to 130 euros depending on the time of day. Card payment is accepted in most vehicles, but it's best to keep some cash on hand to avoid problems if the card terminal fails.

Private transfer — fixed price and French-speaking driver

The main advantage of a private transfer booked online is price predictability: the amount shown at booking is the total you pay, regardless of traffic jams. The driver tracks your flight in real time and adapts to any delays at no extra cost. The service runs 24 hours a day, even for night flights, unlike buses which stop running late in the evening.

Why choose a transfer over a taxi?

  • Save at least 10 minutes: the driver is already waiting for you at the terminal, no need to queue at the taxi rank.
  • No language barrier: request a French-speaking driver when booking to easily explain your destination.
  • Price fixed in advance: no surprises in case of traffic jams, detours or luggage surcharges.
  • Payment in any currency: drivers accept payments in euros, dollars, pounds sterling at the official rate.
  • Child seat available: specify this when booking (seat 9-18 kg, booster 15-36 kg, infant car seat).
  • Recent, clean vehicles: Kiwitaxi enforces strict standards — under 7 years old, valid technical inspection.
