Valencia Airport to Alicante Transfer

Valencia Airport to Alicante transfer: the easiest way to get there

When you land at Valencia Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Alicante. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Valencia Airport to Alicante transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Valencia Airport to Alicante route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Alicante is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Valencia Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Valencia Airport (VLC)

Valencia Airport (VLC) at Manises is about 8 km west of the centre; the beaches of El Saler are 25 km, Cullera about 45 minutes, Dénia about an hour and a quarter, Benidorm an hour and a half and Alicante under two hours.

Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Valencia Airport to Alicante transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Valencia Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.

Searches for "VLC to Alicante" or "VLC airport transfer" land here for a reason: VLC is the airport code for Valencia Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Alicante.

Valencia Airport to Alicante at a glance

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Valencia Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.

Taxi or private transfer from Valencia Airport to Alicante?

An airport taxi from Valencia Airport to Alicante means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Valencia Airport to Alicante per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Alicante involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Alicante, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Valencia Airport to Alicante: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Valencia Airport runs mainly into Valencia itself: metrovalencia lines 3 and 5 link the airport with the centre in about 25 minutes and suit a central hotel with light luggage; a private car is simpler for the beach hotels, the Albufera, a family with luggage, or a coastal trip to Cullera, Denia or Benidorm. Reaching Alicante from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

So the honest comparison for Alicante is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Valencia Airport to Alicante transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

About Alicante

Alicante lies about 175 km south of Valencia Airport, on the southern Costa Blanca. Alicante is a Mediterranean port city crowned by the Santa Bárbara castle on Mount Benacantil, with panoramic views over the bay. The Explanada de España, a promenade paved with a wave pattern of marble tiles, runs along the marina beside palm trees, and the Postiguet beach lies at the foot of the castle. The old Santa Cruz quarter has narrow whitewashed lanes and pastel houses, and the Central Market sells fresh produce and seafood. Rice dishes and the sweet turrón of the region are local specialities, and the city has many museums.

Things to do in Alicante

Once you have checked in, Alicante is worth exploring: Santa Bárbara castle, Explanada de España, Postiguet beach, Santa Cruz quarter and Central Market. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Valencia itself is within reach for a day: the Albufera lagoon, the Cathedral and the Miguelete tower and the Silk Exchange - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Alicante

Where visitors stay in Alicante: Old town and Santa Cruz, Explanada de España, Postiguet beach and Albufereta. Our Valencia Airport to Alicante transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.

If your flight lands at Alicante-Elche Airport instead, tell us, as it is closer to the city; the old town has limited vehicle access, so share your hotel address.

Meeting your driver at Valencia Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Valencia Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Valencia Airport to Alicante transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Valencia Airport.

Our vehicles for the Alicante transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.

The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Valencia Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.

Who books the Alicante transfer

Who uses a private transfer from Valencia Airport to Alicante? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.

If your trip continues beyond Alicante - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Valencia Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.

How to book your Alicante transfer

To book the Valencia Airport to Alicante transfer, send us your flight details, your date, how many are travelling and where you are staying in Alicante - through the form here or straight on WhatsApp. We confirm the fixed price and the meeting arrangement in writing within minutes, and the same chat stays open for any change of plan before or during your trip.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Valencia Airport

Tell us your flight number and hotel address; during Fallas, the old town is closed to traffic, so we agree the drop-off point in advance and plan extra time.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Valencia Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.

Alicante to Valencia Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Alicante to Valencia Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Valencia Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

The Alicante to Valencia Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Alicante transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Alicante transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
