Getting Around

How to get to and from Valencia Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at VLC

Valencia Airport is connected to Valencia and the wider Spain transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Metro Line 3 and Line 5 both serve the airport station (Aeroport), reaching central Valencia (Xàtiva/Colón area) in about 20–25 minutes, running roughly every 15–20 minutes with fares around €4.80–5.90 including the airport supplement. Metrobus Line 150 also runs from Terminal 1, taking about 45 minutes into the city via Manises, Quart de Poblet, and Mislata, with daytime service roughly 06:20–22:30.

Taxi

A rank operates at arrivals; the fare into central Valencia is roughly €20, with the trip taking about 20–25 minutes depending on traffic.

Rideshare

Uber and Cabify both operate in Valencia and serve the airport, typically comparable to or slightly cheaper than the metered taxi fare for the same run into the city.

Car Rental

Well served — nine or more rental companies operate from desks in the terminal building and the T1 car park.

Insider tip

The metro (Line 3 or 5) is usually the fastest and cheapest way into the center — skip the bus unless your hotel is directly on its route through Manises or Quart de Poblet, since the metro beats it on both time and price for most city-center destinations.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Valencia Airport website before travel.

Ground Transport Tips for VLC

Only use official taxi ranks or pre-booked apps at Valencia Airport. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in arrivals.

If a rail or metro connection exists, it is usually the fastest and most reliable option during rush hour.

Allow extra time for ground transport during peak hours. Valencia city traffic can significantly extend journey times.

Download offline maps for Valencia before landing — useful if your data connection is slow on arrival.

If travelling with heavy luggage, a private transfer or taxi is often more practical than public transport.
