coming from the airport you can pay on the bus.

to go back to the airport you have to pay in advance at the ticket office on the europa

The Europa ticket office has been closed for quite a long time. We get ours from the new bus station.

Hello all (again).. Looking into getting a transfer from Alicante to La Marina, San Fulgencio region and have had a response from Prestige tours that they do not operate south of Alicante airport - dissapointed in that one, they came with good reccomendation from this site. Have also been in touch with clydegrovegolf.com and the price quoted is 160 euros (£140 ?) return, which I dont think is too bad for 6 adults, has anyone had dealings with them other than I have read about on here, and are there any more that could be reccomended.
Hope someone can help - please..

Clydegrove picked up my friends from the airport 2 weeks ago and took them back to airport this evening from Torrevieja. Very punctual!. Have only heard good things about them!. Think 160€ is good as otherwise you would have to get 2 taxis from/to the airport and would cost a lot more each way.

They also do transfers from Murcia airport for anyone coming into that airport.

Thanks for the replies (late I know..) Has anyone else used clydegrove ?

They advertise on another forum that i use and people on there have recommended them! On time for my friends and worked out cheaper than getting 2 taxis to Torrevieja as there was 5 of them.

Taxi transfers to the Terralta Apartments Benidorm:

Can anyone please advise the cheapest method to get from Alicant to the Terralta Apartments Benidorm? Prices seem to range from around £22 return with TRAVELREPUBLIC (anyone used them, assume they contract out to someone else?) up to £150+ return for a taxi transfer.

Any help/advice on the best method for a reasonable price would be appreciated.

Thankyou :sun2

If there are up to 4 of you and you want a hassle free transfer then I would thoroughly recommend http://www.prestigetoursspain.com/ who charge €100 return. We have used them on several occasions and the service is top class. The transfer is exclusive to you so you go straight from the airport to your hotel, no messing around dropping people off on the way.

I would also recommend Prestige Tours. I've used them a few times now, and wouldn't use anyone else, straight to your hotel/apartment...excellent.

Just noticed that our flight later today from Leeds is due to land into Terminal 2
My dad is arranging to meet us at the airport but was wondering if we will actually collect our luggage in Terminal 2 and come out of the exit there or will we transfer to Terminal 1 baggage collection and exit from Terminal 1
Tried looking on the maps but can actually see a baggage recliam at Terminal 2
If anyone has recent experience of arriving into T2 I would appreciate some help
On screen info is currently Terminal 2, Lounge 3, Belt 22 if that helps
Thanks in advance

You will get your bags in terminal 2 and have to walk to 1 to get picked up or get who ever picks you up at 2. I think its quicker at 2 than 1. Have a great time. :)

I contacted Prestige Tours via e-mail for a price to go to San Fulgencio, and the reply was that they don't go south of Alicante airport. Ended up booking with another recommended private hire mini-bus, Clydegrovegolf with a return price of 160 euros (£140) not too bad when it's to be shared between 3 couples.

Hi.

Me, hubby and two sons had transfer from Alicante to Terralta with Travel Republic this year (28 July). Cost us £51 return (although I did book it at the beginning of the year). The coach was ready there waiting for us (only a few families on) and we were straight off. The past two years we have always been first drop off and last pick up on the return journey (think the coach company was A2B - Shuttle Direct) Lovely, clean coaches, well-driven by pleasant drivers. Would use them every time.

Hope this helps, any more info required, please feel free to ask.

Have a fab holiday (I'm envious - wish we were going back again). We've been to the Terralta three times.......................and are thinking about a fourth!!!! :)

Happy Holidays :wave:

Best Regards

Hi

I'm looking for a transfer to Benidorm from Alicante airport. On this site I saw that Viajes Alameda Shuttle Direct) was recommended. I would like to know if they are reliable and how often do they leave the airport as I wouldnt want to be sitting around for a long time. Any help on the topic would be most appreciated.

Hi aliuk ... you will find lots of references to Shuttle Direct / Viajes Alameda in this topic. No need to read the whole topic, you can use the Search facility in the bottom left hand corner to retrieve posts by company name.
