Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at ALC

Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport is connected to Alicante and the wider Spain transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Local bus line C6 (Subús) runs from outside Arrivals to central Alicante (Rambla Méndez Núñez / Luceros) roughly every 20–40 minutes depending on time of day, journey around 20–30 minutes; ALSA also runs direct long-distance coaches from the airport to Benidorm, Murcia, Cartagena, and other Costa Blanca towns.

Taxi

Official rank right outside Arrivals; a fare into central Alicante runs roughly €20–25 and takes about 15–20 minutes, more to Benidorm or other coastal resorts — confirm the metered fare before departing.

Rideshare

Uber and Cabify both operate around Alicante and can pick up at the airport, usually similarly priced to a taxi.

Car Rental

Extremely well served given Costa Blanca beach tourism — all major international chains plus Spanish/local operators have desks in the rental centre a short walk from the terminal; book ahead in summer as cars sell out.

Insider tip

The C6 bus is the cheapest way into Alicante but doesn't run super late — if you land on a night flight or need Benidorm or points further up the coast, a taxi or pre-booked transfer is the more reliable option.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport website before travel.
