About this tour
When Ben from our team booked a transfer from Alicante airport to Calpe with Benidorm Transfers Direct, it was a straightforward 60–70 minute ride in a private sedan. The company's been running this route for over 15 years, and it shows: the car was clean, air-con worked properly, and the driver knew the coastal roads well enough to dodge the worst of the traffic. It's the sort of thing you don't expect to remember fondly, but a good transfer sets the tone for a trip, and this one did.
Highlights
- Modern sedan kept cool the whole way; no sticky seats or dodgy air-con
- Driver knew exactly where to go; no wrong turns or faffing about
- WiFi actually worked during the drive—rare for a transfer company
- Foldable wheelchairs accepted; accessibility thought through properly
- Child seats and infant seats available without fuss or extra drama
- All fees and taxes bundled in; no nasty surprises at handover
- Professional outfit that's been doing this route for 15 years
What to expect
You'll be met at Alicante airport and guided to your sedan—nothing flash, but well-kept and reliable. The driver handles the handover smoothly and you're on the road within minutes. The route to Calpe hugs the coast for much of it, so if it's clear you'll get glimpses of the Mediterranean and the white apartment blocks that characterise this stretch of the Costa Blanca. Expect typical airport traffic leaving Alicante, then it thins out as you head north towards Calpe. Conversation is friendly but professional; most drivers won't chat constantly, which is fine—you're knackered after a flight anyway.
The car stays cool throughout, the WiFi means you can message your accommodation or check in, and at an hour to 70 minutes it's quick enough that you won't be climbing the walls. You'll pull up in Calpe proper, sorted and ready to check in.

Good to know
This is a solid, no-fuss transfer. Fifteen years in the game means they've ironed out the kinks. The sedan fits three passengers comfortably and the inclusion of WiFi, air-con, and flexible seating (child seats, infant seats, foldable wheelchairs) means it works for families, mobility needs, and solo travellers alike. All costs are upfront, so no haggling at the end. Perfect if you just want to arrive without drama.
It's a sedan, not a minibus, so if your group is larger than three you'll need to book multiple cars or arrange something else. Peak summer season (July–August) can mean heavier traffic out of Alicante, so you might hit closer to 80 minutes than 60. The route is familiar but not scenic unless you actively crane your neck. Service animals are welcome, but the car's compact so a large dog might feel snug with three passengers.
Group max is three; infant and child seats are available but request them when booking. Foldable wheelchairs are fine; fixed chairs will be tight. Bring a phone charger or use the WiFi to kill time. Peak times are July, August, and school holidays (Easter, Christmas).
