How Long Does It Take to Get from Alicante Airport to Benidorm?
Planning a trip to Benidorm and wondering how long the journey from Alicante Airport will take? It’s one of the most common questions from travellers heading to the Costa Blanca — and the answer is simpler than you might think.
A private transfer from Alicante Airport (ALC) to Benidorm takes approximately 45 to 55 minutes. The route follows the AP-7 motorway south and covers around 55 kilometres, making it one of the most straightforward airport transfers on the Spanish coast.
The Distance from Alicante Airport to Benidorm
Alicante Airport is located approximately 55 kilometres north of Benidorm town centre. The fastest route takes the AP-7 motorway, passing through Villajoyosa before arriving in Benidorm. Your driver will always use the quickest available route.
What Affects Journey Time?
A few things can add or subtract minutes from your transfer:
- Time of day — Peak summer traffic between 4pm and 8pm on the N-332 can add 10–20 minutes. A private transfer uses the AP-7 motorway to avoid this.
- Your drop-off location — Hotels in the Old Town or on the seafront promenade may add a few minutes compared to hotels on the main Avenida de Europa.
- Flight delays — We track your flight in real time. If your plane is delayed, your driver adjusts automatically at no extra charge.
