Buses from Alicante Airport to Benissa

Alicante Airport has buses which travel all over the region, run by Alsa (Spain’s equivalent of National Express).

There are several buses a day with direct services to Benissa. These operate from the bus stops on Floor 2. Before relying on a bus, I recommend checking how the bus aligns with your landing time and how long it takes to get through the airport. Otherwise, you might need to look into car rental options or using Beniconnect.

If you turn right out of any of the exits on Floor 2, you’ll see the bus stops listing out all of the towns and cities in the area.

Alsa buses are of a high standard and come complete with air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. They take about 1 hour 30 minutes to arrive, depending on the amount of stops in between. Ticket prices start from 11€, and You can pay the driver on the bus.

Shuttle Bus transfers

If you need to get to Benissa, Beniconnect offers a private shuttle bus service which can travel directly to Benissa. This is far more expensive than the shared shuttle bus transfers.

If you would like a shared shuttle bus service which will be cheaper, you can use their Costa Connect service to travel to Calpe. You can then arrange transport through a Calpe taxi to get to Benissa, catch a bus, or arrange other transport.

You’ll find Beniconnect transfer services on Floor 0 of Alicante Airport in a booth.

If you’re a large group or company, Beniconnect even offers the option to rent private buses. This will be far more economical and convenient depending on your group size.

You can book private transfer services through their website and receive a quote.

I highly recommend looking into renting a car or travelling via bus so you can directly get to Benissa in less time.
