About this tour
When Alex from our team used this private transfer from Alicante–Elche Airport to Playa San Juan, it beat the taxi queue scramble flat. You book ahead, a driver meets you at arrivals with a namecard, and you slide into a premium car or minivan for the 30-minute run to your beachside digs. It's straightforward, works for groups up to 8, and takes the edge off landing in a new place. The cost is per person, so solo travellers might find it pricier than a shared shuttle, but if you're travelling as a pair or family, it's solid value.
Highlights
- Driver waits 60 minutes post-landing — no frantic phone calls
- Meet-and-greet namecard system — easy to spot your ride
- All taxes, tolls, and parking baked into the price upfront
- Infant seats and child restraints included at booking
- Premium cars or minivans depending on group size
- No tipping surprise — gratuities included
- Luggage allowance covers one standard suitcase per person
What to expect
You'll breeze through immigration and customs, then head to arrivals where your driver will be waiting with a namecard. The whole handover is quick and hassle-free — no hunting for a taxi rank or haggling. The drive to Playa San Juan takes about 30 minutes, though morning or evening traffic can stretch that. The car itself is comfortable and the route is straightforward, skirting the coast towards your accommodation.
The only wrinkle is luggage: you get one standard suitcase per person (46x69x29cm), and anything oversized or extra bags will incur additional fees. If you're packing light, no dramas. The driver is professional and knows the area, so if you need a recommendation or have questions about the beach town, they're usually good for local intel.

Good to know
This is ideal for families with young kids (infant seats and child restraints are supplied) or groups of 4+ where splitting a private car actually saves money versus multiple taxis. You avoid the post-flight queue stress and arrive knowing your total cost upfront — no surprises on payment. The driver waits a full hour if your flight is late, which is genuinely helpful.
Solo travellers might find the per-person rate steep compared to a shuttle bus or public transport. The luggage policy is tight — one standard case only, or you'll cop extra charges. Traffic during school runs or summer holidays can push the journey beyond 30 minutes, so don't book tight onward connections. Not suitable if you're arriving with a lot of gear.
Book ahead online. Tell them if you're bringing kids (you need to specify ages for the right seat). Arrive at the airport 15–20 minutes before your driver's expected arrival so you're not caught inside with luggage. Groups of 2–3 make this worthwhile; single travellers might save money on a shared service.
