Ways to get from Alicante Airport to Altea
Private transfer booked ahead suits families, groups and travellers who want a driver waiting after the flight. It takes you directly to your accommodation, which is useful if you have heavy luggage or are staying outside the central area. A taxi from the rank is a straightforward choice when you prefer to arrange transport after collecting your bags. Follow the airport signs to the official taxi rank and confirm the destination before leaving.Public transport can suit independent travellers who are comfortable checking connections and carrying their luggage between services. Local bus and rail options may require changes, so check current routes and departures with the airport or transport provider before travelling. Hire car is useful for travellers planning to visit other parts of the Costa Blanca, although you should consider parking and narrow streets around Altea before booking.
Booking a private transfer
After booking, keep the confirmation, your accommodation address and a contact phone ready. At the airport, the driver normally meets you in the arrivals area, with meeting instructions provided in your booking details. Share your flight information so the pickup can be adjusted if the flight is late or delayed, and contact the provider if your plans change.Include the number and size of your bags when booking, especially if you need space for sports equipment. Request suitable child or infant car seats in advance, as availability may be limited. Check the pickup instructions before leaving the aircraft, then follow the agreed meeting point rather than accepting unsolicited offers inside the airport.
