About this tour
When Lily from our team booked this private transfer from Alicante–Elche Airport to La Azohia, it was a straightforward swap for the usual taxi queue scramble. You get picked up by a driver with your name on a sign, bundled into a comfortable car or minivan (depending on group size, up to 8 people), and driven the roughly 1 hour 50 minutes to the coast. The route hugs the inland scrub and farmland south of Alicante before dropping down to the quieter southern beaches. It's the no-fuss option if you've got luggage, kids in tow, or just want to start your trip without navigating Spanish transport on arrival.
Highlights
- Meet-and-greet service takes the confusion out of airport arrival
- Covers tolls and parking — no surprise charges at the destination
- Fits groups up to 8, so useful for families or small crews
- Child and infant seats provided if you book them in advance
- Driver waits 60 minutes after landing — buffer for baggage claim
- Premium vehicle option feels more civilised than a shared minibus
- Decent drive time to scope the southern coast landscape
What to expect
You'll land, clear customs and baggage, then head to the arrivals hall where your driver will be waiting with a name sign. Depending on your group size, they'll load you into either a car or a minivan — both are clean and air-conditioned. The drive to La Azohia winds south through the inland plains, gradually dipping toward the coast. Traffic can vary wildly depending on when you arrive (afternoon rush from Alicante can add 20–30 minutes), so don't treat the 1 hour 50 minutes as gospel.
The road is straightforward, toll charges are handled by the operator, and the driver knows where they're going. If your flight's delayed, there's a 60-minute grace period before they bail — so if you're running late, a quick call to their assistance centre is worth the peace of mind. It's not a sightseeing tour; you're just getting from A to B in reasonable comfort, which is exactly what this is meant to be.

Good to know
This is ideal if you're arriving with significant luggage, travelling with small kids (they sort the car seats), or simply want to dodge the taxi rank shuffle. Prices are per person, so if there's four of you, that's four separate charges — worth factoring in when weighing it against splitting a taxi. All taxes, VAT, tolls, and parking are bundled in, so no nasty surprises at the end. The meet-and-greet means you're not hunting around for transport; they find you.
You're limited to one standard suitcase per person; anything oversized or extra bags trigger additional fees — pack smartly. The drive time is subject to traffic, particularly during Spanish holidays and summer afternoons when the road clogs. If you're bringing infants or children under 6, you must pre-select car seats or bring your own; forgetting this means a scramble on arrival. It's a one-way service, so if you need a return trip, book separately. Group size is capped at 8, so large tours won't work here.
