Alicante Elche → Alicante city centre: key facts

A private transfer from Alicante Elche Airport (ALC) to Alicante city centre costs €45 per car for 1–3 passengers and €75 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 14 km; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the airport's single terminal, just after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

The city centre is only a short run from the airport at El Altet, mostly along the N-338 and the city ring roads, so there is no motorway toll involved. The old quarter of Santa Cruz below Santa Bárbara castle has narrow, partly pedestrian streets, and the seafront around the Explanada de España is busy on summer evenings and during the Hogueras festival in late June. The driver stops at the nearest point where vehicles are allowed.

Alicante's central area is compact and mostly flat. The Explanada de España, the palm-lined mosaic promenade beside the marina, is the usual reference point, with the Rambla de Méndez Núñez and the Mercado Central a few minutes inland. The Barrio de Santa Cruz climbs the slope of Santa Bárbara castle, where a lift from the Postiguet side reaches the top. Postiguet beach is the city beach, within walking distance of most hotels. The centre is busiest in summer, and during the Hogueras de San Juan, around 20 to 24 June, some streets are closed for fireworks and bonfires.

Public transport instead: Vectalia (Alicante urban bus) bus C-6 from Alicante airport terminal to Renfe station / Plaza de los Luceros / Plaza Puerta del Mar, €4.70 single ticket, daily all year round, frequent departures.
