Price varies from approximately 17 to 22 Euros, so best to have 25 to hand.

Hi eddie, we have used xtra car hire a couple of times, think they are based in santa pola, you can pay cash when they bring the car to your door and return it full to the point you were given it when they collect it from you.

Taxi should be no more than €20 let them know you know where you are going and how much it should cost .i think if you look on most of hire cars websites they nearly all do the full full option but will charge you about €20 handling fee to do it

Interesting as we often land late around 11pm and the cab to upper Monte Y Mar has never been under 20 Euros.

Ive never paid more than 20 when picking up a cab outside the airport.  There is always plenty of them. Usually goes 18/19 euros and we give them 20.

We're do you pick the bus up from, how often does it run and does it go straight there, can you get it from the airport to GA ?

Go onto Doyouspain.com and you will find some excellent car hire bargains, make sure you tick full/full. they do not charge you an admin charge. However you will need to take out an excess car insurance...look at icarinsurance.com or you will get charged a fortune for their own.   They do however block a large amount off your credit card as a precaution but release it as soon as car is returned.  Stick to any on the airport, don't go for the ones that say off airport...

i have tried telling the taxi man where i want in g.a, and asking the fare, but they just reply ''meter''  on arrival @ g.a it shows 19euro but then he pressed button and it then shows 21.50 euro, is this normal practice ? The fare was to the former maxcoop

Interesting I think the meters must be all over the place my taxi last week was to the old maxcoop €16.50 on his meter !!!!

I suspect the extras is for luggage they usually charge for that I didn't have any

Hi
Just to say we do not organise transfers to/from the airport!  But as many have said a taxi is around €20 depending on where you are dropped off in Gran Alacant  8)

The first bus stop on GA is outside Lidl/Consum it travels up the hill over the roundabout and down cardiac hill through Arenales seafront left up the hill then onto ElAltet centre turning right and joining N332 just before airport exit. The bus stops if required at all stops and takes approx 20 minutes, cost 1.50. We were on the winter schedule so runs about every 2 hours, it drops right outside departures at the Baille bus stop. From what i can see its the same in reverse. Cracking little service well impressed.

I think there are about 4 bus stops outside arrivals/departures the Baille stop is the far right clearly marked. Timetables are on most stops, on the baille website and printed in GA magazine
