About this tour
When Lily from our team booked a private transfer from La Union to Alicante–Elche Airport, it beat the usual taxi queue scramble hands down. You get a driver who meets you at your hotel, handles your luggage, and takes you straight to the terminal in a decent car or minibus—no stops, no faffing. The run takes roughly 80 minutes depending on traffic, and it covers all taxes, tolls, and parking, so there's no bill shock at the end. It's straightforward airport-run stuff, but the meet-and-greet angle and fixed pricing make it less stressful than flagging down a cab.
Highlights
- Driver meets you by name — no hunting around the hotel lobby
- All tolls and parking baked into the price upfront
- Choice of car or minibus means groups up to eight fit easily
- Waits 60 minutes after you land if you're booking a return leg
- Infant and child seats provided — saves you wrestling luggage and kids
- No surprise add-ons beyond oversized luggage charges
- Honest timeline: ~80 minutes La Union to airport, traffic dependent
What to expect
The transfer is dead simple: your driver shows up at your hotel at the agreed time, loads your bags, and drives you straight to Alicante–Elche. You don't queue for a taxi rank or haggle over the fare—it's all locked in. The journey takes around 80 minutes, though peak traffic in Alicante can stretch it. The car or minibus is clean and decent, no frills but reliable. If you've booked a return leg, the driver will wait an hour from your landing time before heading off, so even if your flight's delayed, you've got a window to find them.
What struck Lily is the lack of stress compared to sorting transport on arrival. You know the driver's coming, you know the cost, and you know you'll get to check-in on time. The inclusion of tolls and parking means no fumbling for coins or cards at the gate. Just bring a standard suitcase per person—anything bulkier or extra bags will cost you extra.

Good to know
Spot-on for groups or solo travellers who want transport sorted before they land. No taxi queues, no language barriers with a driver you've pre-arranged, and families get infant and child seats included so you're not improvising safety. The all-in pricing is refreshing—no hidden tolls or parking surprises waiting at the airport. Perfect if you value predictability and a smoother departure.
You're locked into a fixed booking, so cancellations and changes may incur fees—check the terms. The luggage allowance is tight: one standard suitcase (46x69x29cm) per passenger only. Oversized or extra bags mean extra charges, and that adds up fast if you're overpacking. The 80-minute estimate is generous—traffic around Alicante in summer or during school holidays can add 20+ minutes. If you're cutting it fine for a flight, book earlier. The driver waits only 60 minutes post-landing for returns; if your baggage is slow, you might miss them.
Book well ahead, especially in peak season. You'll need to specify infant and child seats at booking. Bring your suitcase dimensions if you're unsure about the limit—it's not huge. Payment is per person, so add it up for groups. The journey duration varies with time of day and traffic, so don't plan a tight connection.
