Since it is an important transport hub in Spain, there are taxis, shuttles, buses, and fixed-route trains.

How to get from Alicante Airport to the desired point

There are at least four ways to get where you need to go:

• group or individual transfer,
• by taxi, ordering it through the service or catching it on the spot,
• by train or metro,
• by bus or minibus.

Transfer versus ordering a taxi through the app

Faster by at least 10 minutes, since the Kiwitaxi driver knows your arrival time in advance and will be waiting for you at Alicante Airport, at the specified location.

Without unnecessary fuss. You don't have to search for Wi-Fi, open the app, enter travel parameters, select a car - everything you need has already been done.

The car meets the requirements: the required number of seats and luggage, air conditioning and a child car seat, if you have ordered one.

More expensive on average by 10–20%, since Kiwitaxi transfers are carried out by licensed drivers in cars no older than seven years old, which must have undergone technical inspection.

Transfer versus taxi from Alicante Airport booked on site

Benefits of an individual transfer

Faster by at least 10 minutes: There are several official taxi services operating at Alicante Airport, but there are often queues to board, as airport staff distribute passengers into cars or tourists themselves take a long time to choose an option. There may be private traders on duty near the airport; among them you need to choose the most trustworthy one - this takes time.

No problems with the language. If you don’t know a foreign language, it won’t be easy to explain to a taxi driver where you need to go, how much you’re willing to pay, and that you won’t be able to go without a child seat.

At a predetermined price. Each taxi service in Spain operates according to its own tariff (boarding, mileage, downtime, and so on). Private drivers even determine the price by looking at the tourist and assessing how much they can charge him. The transfer costs as much as was indicated in the voucher at the time of pre-order.

Payment online. There is no need to change the currency to the local one, since you paid for the transfer in full on the website.

Disadvantage of an individual transfer

More expensive on average by 5-15%. If your destination is close to the airport, a taxi service on site will be cheaper, since Kiwitaxi operates at a single rate throughout the city.

Transfer compared to bus, minibus, metro or train

Benefits of an individual transfer

1.5–2.5 times faster. Taking into account the average waiting time for scheduled transport and transfers, getting to a hotel within the city or transport hub is on average 1.75 times longer.

Calm and comfortable. The Kiwitaxi driver will be waiting for you at the designated location at Alicante Airport and will help you with your luggage. The driver can also help you check into the hotel by acting as a translator when communicating with the administrator.

"From the gangway to the room." You will not get confused in navigation at Alicante Airport, as the driver will meet you and escort you to the car. It will take you to the specified location, and you will not have to walk from the public transport stop.

Disadvantage of an individual transfer

Up to 5 times more expensive based on two tourists. The transfer price is approximately comparable to the cost of regular transport when ordering a minibus for 6 or more passengers.

Kiwitaxi works with professional transport companies, holding carriers to the same standards in different countries. This allows us to achieve predictable quality of service around the world.

The fastest way to travel from Alicante to Benidorm

The transfer is 1.5–2.5 times faster than public transport. Due to the fact that you don’t need to adjust to the schedule and don’t have to waste time on stops along the route.

Faster than a taxi on the spot by an average of 5–15 minutes, since the Kiwitaxi driver arrives at the appointed time, and you do not have to waste time searching for the right car and waiting for delivery.

A comfortable option without additional stress

The car you need will arrive. At the time of ordering on the website, you select capacity and additional parameters, for example, a child seat for the desired age.

We meet at a convenient place. At airports, drivers or Kiwitaxi greeters try to be as close to the arrivals area as possible with a sign with the client’s name on it, as far as the rules allow. In hotels we try to meet you at the reception; Alicante is no exception.

You don't need to know the language of a foreign country. Many Kiwitaxi drivers and greeters know Russian, and even more know English. As a last resort, you can communicate with a support manager who definitely knows Russian.

Serviceable cars and professional drivers. Kiwitaxi works with licensed carriers. Transfers are carried out using vehicles that have undergone maintenance and are no older than seven years. Drivers have professional licenses.

Service at an understandable price

The price is fixed at the time of order. Whatever payment option you choose, the price will not change. There may be an additional payment only if you need to travel deviating from the route or make a long stop.

Payment online. You can pay for the service by card on the website. This will allow you not to think about how to exchange money in order to take a local taxi in Alicante to Benidorm.
