Best time to take the train from Benidorm to Alicante

Every season has its case for Alicante. On the train, the difference between seasons shows in availability more than comfort: peak-week departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for July, August, Christmas, New Year and Easter journeys between Benidorm and Alicante.

Train, plane or bus from Benidorm to Alicante?

Train versus plane between Benidorm and Alicante comes down to time and hassle: the train leaves from and arrives in the city centre, with no baggage limits and no queues; the plane may be quicker in the air but rarely door to door. Buses exist and are cheap, but for comfort and reliability the train is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first.

Return train from Alicante to Benidorm

The Alicante to Benidorm train is the same service in reverse, about 1 hour 20 minutes, direct. Haqqi Tours can provide the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we book the outbound now and the return when you know, with no penalty for deciding later.

How much does the train from Benidorm to Alicante cost?

"How much is the train ticket from Benidorm to Alicante?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your travel date shortly afterwards of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.

The figure we send covers the ticket, any compulsory seat reservation and our booking service; what you see through WhatsApp is what you pay. If a cheaper departure exists thirty minutes earlier or later, we tell you, because a Benidorm to Alicante train ticket that costs less at a slightly different time is generally worth it.

Cheapest train ticket from Benidorm to Alicante: how to pay less

The cheapest train ticket from Benidorm to Alicante is almost always the one booked earliest for an off-peak departure. Our staff applies the same rules on every booking:

• For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more passengers often unlock a lower rate
• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are typically the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, frequently halves the fare
• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them

We are happy to be asked "what is the cheapest way to get from Benidorm to Alicante by train?" - it is a question we answer many times a day, and the answer for the date you travel comes back in the WhatsApp chat.

How to book train tickets from Benidorm to Alicante with Haqqi Tours

The easiest way to book train tickets from Benidorm to Alicante is to let us do it. The short form on this page asks only for the essentials; everything else - seat preferences, a pushchair, a bicycle, a connection later that day - you let us know on WhatsApp when we message you to confirm the seats and the price. We provide the ticket in your name, explain how boarding works at Benidorm Intermodal station and stay reachable during the journey.

• Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you by WhatsApp with the available departures, the seats and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the departure you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it to you; we stay in touch until you arrive in Alicante

If plans change, the same chat handles it. We spell out the change and cancellation terms of the fare you chose before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises later.

Timetable of the Benidorm to Alicante train

The exact Benidorm to Alicante train times change with the season and the day of the week, so we send the timetable for your specific date rather than a list that may be wrong by the time you read it. As a rule the service runs every 30-60 minutes, each taking around 1 hour 20 minutes. Weekend timetables are sometimes thinner in the early morning; holiday periods add extra trains and sell out earlier.

We recommend booking a specific departure rather than an open ticket on this route: the fare is lower and the seat is guaranteed. If your day changes, we can usually move you to another train through the same WhatsApp chat.

Is there a direct train from Benidorm to Alicante?

Direct - and that is the main reason passengers choose the train over flying between Benidorm and Alicante. No connection, no second platform to find, and the journey time of about 1 hour 20 minutes is exactly what the timetable says. Haqqi Tours books the direct service by default.

Departure: Benidorm Intermodal station

Your journey starts at Benidorm Intermodal station. Platforms on long-distance routes are announced shortly before departure, so watch the boards; larger stations have separate halls for high-speed and regional trains, and we tell you which one applies to your ticket. A direct airport bus and the TRAM from Alicante reach Benidorm in roughly an hour or more and suit a hotel near a stop; with luggage, a family, a hotel in Rincón de Loix or Finestrat, or a stop at Guadalest, Altea or Calpe, a private car is simpler and goes from the terminal to your door in about 45 minutes.

• Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees
• Cafés, kiosks and left-luggage are available at Benidorm Intermodal station for early arrivals
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Benidorm to the station on request
• Ask us which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one

Arrival: Alicante Luceros station

The train arrives at Alicante Luceros station - Alicante is the Costa Blanca capital, with the Santa Bárbara castle above palm-lined promenades and city beaches. From the platform you are minutes from taxis, public transport and the city itself. Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from Alicante Luceros station to your hotel in Alicante with a driver waiting at the platform exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Benidorm to Alicante journey.

Arriving late? We note your arrival time and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the train, so a delay costs you nothing.

Classes and what it is like on board the Benidorm to Alicante train

Tickets on the train from Benidorm to Alicante are sold in second class and first class. The lower class is comfortable and is what most travellers book; the upper class adds wider seats, more legroom, quieter coaches and, on some services, a welcome drink or at-seat service. TRAM d'Alacant (FGV)'s trains on this route have luggage racks, power sockets at most seats, toilets in every coach and, on longer services, a café or bar coach. Haqqi Tours explains the difference for the exact train you are booking so you pay for what you will actually use.

• Bicycles, pushchairs and large luggage accepted within the rail company's rules, which we explain
• Pets are allowed on many services with a small ticket - tell us if one is travelling
• Reserved seats with tables, power sockets and luggage racks
