On arrival at Alicante airport you have three options for getting to Benidorm.
Airport Bus
There is an airport bus from the airport to Benidorm but it only runs four times a day
so the odds are that your flight won't coincide with the bus timetable. The bus departs
from outside the arrivals terminal at 10.30am, 2.30pm, 5.30pm and 9.30pm. It costs just
7 per person each way and you pay as you get on the bus at the airport. Just look
for the "Benidorm Bus" sign as you walk out of arrivals.
For the return journey this same airport bus departs from Avda. Europa in Benidorm at 8am,
12pm, 4pm and 8pm. You should pay for this service in the office in Benidorm. It's not a
bad idea to buy your return ticket as you arrive in Benidorm as the bus gets very busy.
This is far from an ideal option as the bus is generally packed, its timetable infrequent
and is extremely inconvenient if carrying more than hand luggage or if you're travelling
with children. The arrival point in Benidorm is also likely to be a long way from where
you're staying.

Taxi
There are taxis at Alicante airport which can carry up to four people. There is a fixed
rate of 58 to Benidorm, however, some drivers will start their meter which is more
likely to mount up to over 70 for the journey. So you must confirm the price with
the driver before departing and make sure that he's not going to add on an airport
supplement and a baggage supplement for each case you're carrying. The 58 should be
the total price.
Private Shuttle
Without a doubt the most convenient option is to pre-book a private transfer from
Alicante to Benidorm. Prices are very reasonable and you'll be taken to the door of your
accommodation. Some shuttle companies require that you reconfirm your return transfer the
day before you leave which is a job you could easily forget.
Having checked out the various suppliers we've found Shuttledirect to be by far the best option. The booking process is
straightforward, there's no need to reconfirm with them and they offer the lowest prices
of all the shuttle companies. So convenient and so organised. Just use the above link and
