Can anyone recommend a reliable taxi service to and from the airport? There are so many different taxi companies on offer! We'll be a group of 8 adults and a toddler. Many thanks!

Just bumping this ip - sadly I don't have any answers.
If nobody replies you could look on the Alicante airport website for their recommendations - which may be more expensive but are probably reliable.

Just found this easily.
Might be worth a look

We used Beniconnect. It’s an airport transfer service. We found them very efficient and reasonably priced. Much cheaper than hiring a car and you can book it ahead. They offer shared transport in a mini bus or you can book a taxi with them too.

Thank you for taking the time to bump the post NotSpaghetti and thanks to you and also Bakingmad for the links - definitely worth checking out!

It would really depend on your final destination. I live in the Province of Alicante and know companies that operate in the area of Torrevieja. Just be mindful of illegal taxi firms.

We have used Costa Blanca Private Transfers many times over the years. They are an English company, so no problems with language, reliable too. Would recommend that you get a quote from them to compare with any other company.

Thank you YorkLady I will contact them, much appreciated. And thank you too SkyBird - we will be staying in Orihuela district.
I'm grateful for your input as it's a special holiday for our family with small grandchildren too, so I want to make sure there are no glitches!

Jackaranda unfortunately I am unable to recommend any particular taxi company as we always drive to the airport. However something to consider is the bus. If you Google Alicante to Torrevieja airport bus you will find all the necessary information. Also there are several Facebook forums where you can ask advice. La Zenia is one plus a site purely for ladies called Ladies of Spain. Both forums have members who are only too happy to help. If you require any further help with anything please do ask. I live in Orihuela Costa.

Don’t forget to book a child’s car seat when you book the taxi, unless you are taking your own.

Thanks Oopsadaisy - a good reminder

I came back from Alicante airport last week and used Alicante Private Transfers for pickup from airport to hotel and vice versa. They were competitively priced, immaculate cars but more important were very reliable and were there on time for each journey. I'd definitely use them again

Glad to hear you had a smooth experience! It’s always a relief when transfers run on time and the car is comfortable. Alicante can get busy, so having something reliable definitely makes the trip less stressful.
