Alicante Airport is one of the UK's favourite sun destinations — the gateway to Benidorm, Torrevieja, Calpe, Altea, and the wider Costa Blanca. Getting your transfer right means the difference between being poolside in 30 minutes or stuck on a 90-minute shared coach making eight stops.

Your Options at Alicante–Elche Airport (ALC)

🚐 Holiday Extras Transfer

From £10pp — Pre-book before you fly. Fixed price, driver meets you in arrivals. Covers the entire Costa Blanca — Benidorm, Torrevieja, Calpe, Dénia and more.

🌍 TravelPayouts Partner

From £9pp — Competitive local operators for private and shared transfers. Good for destinations further up the coast like Jávea or Gandía.

🚕 Licensed Taxi

From £25 — Metered taxis outside arrivals. Alicante to Benidorm approximately £40–50.

🚌 ALSA / TRAM Bus

From £1.80 (€2.10) — Line C6 to Alicante city centre (15 min). TRAM continues to Benidorm — useful but slow with holiday luggage.

🚗 Hire Car

From £20/day — Good for day trips around the Costa Blanca over a 7–14 night stay.

🏆 Sento Golden Tip: Benidorm is about 45 minutes north. A pre-booked Holiday Extras transfer for a family of 4 often costs less total than four individual bus/train fares — and you're dropped at your hotel door rather than a stop 15 minutes' walk away.

Terminal Guide: Alicante–Elche Airport (ALC)

Alicante Airport has a single main terminal (T2 handling international flights, T1 domestic). Pre-booked private transfers meet you inside the arrivals hall with name boards. Taxi ranks and bus stops are directly outside.

Not directly. You'd take the C6 bus to Alicante city, then a TRAM or ALSA coach to Benidorm — 2+ hours total. A private transfer is far more practical.
