English Saloon per hour
from €50Four-hour minimum. Up to three passengers with luggage.

Book the hours you need, from four upwards, and pay one fixed price per vehicle.
Four-hour minimum. Up to three passengers with luggage.

A car with driver in Alicante is booked for a minimum of four hours: the saloon starts at fifty an hour and the people carrier at seventy-five, while a full eight-hour day in a saloon around the city starts at four hundred. The price is fixed before you pay and covers the car, the driver, fuel and parking along the agreed itinerary.

| Fuel and parking | Yes | Along the itinerary you describe when requesting your quote |
| Mileage | No cap | Neither per hour nor per day within the province of Alicante |
| Waiting time | Yes | The driver waits at every stop; the time counts within the hours booked |

Only need to get from A to B with no stops? A private transfer from Alicante works out cheaper; Benidorm, for instance, has its own fixed price on the Alicante to Benidorm transfer page.
Parking in central Alicante is paid street parking from Plaza de los Luceros to the Central Market and Postiguet beach, and the old town is a low-emission zone with restricted access. So the real question is not only what each option costs, but how much time and how many errands it saves you.
| Your situation | Best option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Several stops in the city with waiting in between | Chauffeur by the hour | One price; the car waits at each stop and nobody looks for parking |
| A single journey, say to Benidorm | Private transfer Alicante to Benidorm | You pay for that trip only, with no minimum hours |
| A wedding or a dinner with wine | Chauffeur by the hour | Nobody drives home; the driver waits at the venue |
| Several days of long drives with few stops | Rental car | Can be cheaper if you drive yourself and do not mind parking |
| Back-to-back meetings in Alicante, Elche and Murcia | Chauffeur by the day | Work on your laptop between appointments and get dropped at the door |
| More than seven passengers | Minibus with driver in Alicante | The whole group in one vehicle, with the same driver all day |
Compared with a taxi, the difference lies in the waiting: a taxi charges every journey and every minute stopped, and during the Hogueras festival or when a cruise ship is in port there is not always one free. With a chauffeur by the hour, the driver and the car are yours for the time you have booked.
Four hours, the minimum booking, is enough to see the essentials of Alicante without rushing: Santa Bárbara Castle, on Mount Benacantil 166 metres above the sea, the old town with the Basilica of Santa María, the Explanada de España promenade with its six and a half million mosaic tiles, and San Juan beach, almost three kilometres long.
The car drives up to the fortress car park. Views over the whole bay and Postiguet beach.
Drop-off on the Rambla, a step from the pedestrian streets. Whitewashed lanes of Santa Cruz and the MACA art museum.
A stroll under the palms and a stop at the modernist market of 1921 to shop or grab a bite.
Coves at the cape, the San Juan beach promenade and back to your hotel or the marina.
Saloon with driver ready in Alicante for an hourly booking.
From Plaza de los Luceros, Benidorm is 45 km (28 miles) away, 35 to 55 minutes on the AP-7; Altea and Calpe are about 60 km and an hour; Guadalest is 63 km via the CV-70; and Elche with its palm grove is 28 km. An eight-hour day combines two or three of these with the driver waiting at every stop.
Times measured from Plaza de los Luceros for a mid-morning weekday departure; in summer and at weekends the AP-7 towards the Marina gets busy, so leaving before ten helps. For Granada or Valencia with an overnight stay, see the multi-day option.
The province's trade fairs take place at IFA, the exhibition centre in Elche beside the A-70, 11 km from central Alicante and 14 to 28 minutes by car. Conferences use the ADDA, the provincial auditorium, while tech companies are spread between the Distrito Digital at the port and the Science Park in San Vicente del Raspeig.
| Venue | Location | From Luceros | Typical booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| IFA Fira Alacant | Elche, beside the A-70 at El Altet | 11 km · 14–28 min | Full days during fairs, with several trips back to the hotel |
| ADDA | Paseo de Campoamor, Alicante | 2 km · 5 min | Speaker pickups and drives to hotels and dinners |
| Distrito Digital | Muelle de Poniente, Alicante port | 2 km · 6 min | Hourly, with back-to-back meetings in the centre |
| University Science Park | San Vicente del Raspeig | 8 km · 15 min | Half days with waiting time |
| Elche Business Park | Torrellano, beside the A-70 | 12 km · 15 min | Visits to footwear factories and suppliers |
| Ciudad de la Luz studios | Agua Amarga, south of Alicante | 6 km · 10 min | Film crews with schedules that change daily |
An exhibiting company arrives with four people, stays at a hotel in central Alicante and needs to be at IFA by nine, return to the hotel for lunch with a client and go back to the venue in the afternoon. They book a people carrier by the day for all three days: the same driver each morning, the car parked at the venue while the fair is on, and a dinner at the marina on the last night with no worries about getting back. One invoice in the company name, issued at payment.
Weddings in the province are mostly held at country estates in Mutxamel, Busot, Elche and the Marina Baixa, 20 to 40 minutes from Alicante and almost always without public transport back. A car with driver by the hour handles the arrival of the couple or the parents, the wait during the banquet and the drive back to the hotel in the small hours.
A black saloon for the ceremony and the photos; a people carrier for the family. The driver waits at the estate for the hours booked.
The centre closes for the bonfires and the 2 p.m. mascletà fireworks at Luceros. We set pickup points outside the closed area.
Ship passengers who want to see Guadalest or Elche during their hours in port, or speakers with a one-day agenda.
For events with more than seven guests in the same car, or with simultaneous pickups at different hotels, we coordinate two or more vehicles leaving at the same time, or a group vehicle.
With the same driver for several days in a row you can tour the Spanish Levante without changing cars: Alicante, Valencia and Barcelona along the coast; Alicante, Murcia and Cartagena in two days; or Alicante and Granada, 350 km and three to four and a half hours on the A-7, with a night beside the Alhambra. The price is fixed per day and includes the driver's accommodation.
| Route | Days | What the quote covers |
|---|---|---|
| Alicante – Valencia – Barcelona | 3 | Full days, stops in Xàtiva or Peñíscola, driver's overnight stay |
| Alicante – Murcia – Cartagena – Alicante | 2 | Murcia cathedral, the Roman theatre of Cartagena and back along the coast |
| Alicante – Granada – Alicante | 2 or 3 | The Alhambra with pre-booked tickets, the Albaicín and the return via Lorca |
| Alicante – Benidorm – Jávea – Dénia | 1 or 2 | The Marina coast with stops in Altea and Calpe |
In Alicante we work with three vehicle sizes. The saloon is the usual choice for meetings and couples; the people carrier suits families, trade-fair teams and weddings with the parents on board; for larger groups we point you to a minibus with driver or coordinate several cars.
| Passengers | Vehicle | Luggage | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 | Black saloon | Two large suitcases and two cabin bags | Executives, couples, the wedding couple |
| 4 to 7 | People carrier | Up to seven medium suitcases | Families, business teams, wedding guests |
| 8 or more | Minibus with driver in Alicante | Large hold | Cruise groups, conferences, celebrations |
Models and exact seating are listed in our fleet. Child seats, golf clubs and boards travel free if you mention them when booking. Our Alicante drivers speak Spanish and English.
People carrier with driver for families and business teams in Alicante.
| Area | Landmarks | How pickup works |
|---|---|---|
| Centre and Luceros | Hotels on Avenida Maisonnave and the Rambla | At the hotel door |
| Old town | Santa Cruz, town hall, Basilica of Santa María | Our cars carry the environmental badge and may enter the low-emission zone; on pedestrian streets we stop at the nearest road access |
| Port and Explanada | Marina, Distrito Digital, cruise quay | At the passenger entrance or the building door |
| San Juan beach and Cabo de las Huertas | Beachfront hotels and apartments | At the door, allowing extra time for summer traffic |
| Benalúa and Babel | Offices and Ciudad de la Luz | At the main entrance |
| San Vicente, Mutxamel and El Campello | University, country estates and residential areas | At the exact address you send us |
If the pickup is at a country estate or a villa development, send us the exact map location: in many parts of the province the street name alone is not enough, and the driver prefers to arrive with the point pinned.
Alicante-Elche Airport is 14 km from Plaza de los Luceros, 14 to 24 minutes on the A-70, and only 4 km from the IFA exhibition centre. Your hourly service can begin right at the terminal: the driver tracks your real flight time, meets you in arrivals with a name sign, and your hours start from there. If you only need to get from the airport to your hotel, an airport transfer is the cheaper option.
The driver checks your landing time before setting off for the terminal.
| Step | What you do | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tell us the date, start time, number of hours or days and the plan: stops, venue, estate | A fixed price by email or WhatsApp, with no obligation |
| 2 | Confirm and pay by card on a secure page | An official invoice and a confirmation with all the service details |
| 3 | On the day, the driver waits for you at the agreed point | Personalised assistance 24 hours a day on the emergency phone line during the service |
In June, for Hogueras, and on wedding weekends from May to October, cars sell out weeks ahead.

Four hours, for both the saloon and the people carrier. That is just enough for a loop around Santa Bárbara Castle, the old town and San Juan beach, or for a morning of meetings between the centre and the Distrito Digital at the port. Beyond that, you book by the hour, by the eight-hour day or for several days.
The vehicle, the driver, fuel and parking along the itinerary you describe when requesting your quote, with no mileage cap within the province. Waiting at each stop counts within the hours booked. If the service falls at night or on a public holiday, the quote shows the surcharge with the exact date and hours, before you pay.
At the same hourly rate shown in your quote, and the driver lets you know before the booked time runs out so you can decide. It happens often at weddings, when the banquet goes on, and at IFA fairs with dinners afterwards. If you already know the day will be long, booking the eight-hour day from the start works out better.
For a single short journey, a taxi is cheaper. For a morning with three or four stops and waiting in between, an hourly chauffeur usually matches or beats it, because a taxi charges each journey plus the time stopped, and you would need a new one at every point. During Hogueras or when cruise ships are in port, a free taxi in the centre is not always easy to find.
Yes. It is one of our most requested services from May to October: the saloon takes the couple to the ceremony and the photo session, and the people carrier carries the parents or guests staying at the same hotel. The driver waits at the estate during the banquet and makes the late-night return. Book weeks ahead for weekends in season.
Spanish and English. That covers most business teams coming to IFA or the Distrito Digital, as well as the international guests at weddings held across the province. If your group needs another language, tell us when requesting your quote and we will confirm whether we can assign it on that date.
Yes. Alicante's low-emission zone restricts access to the old town for vehicles without an environmental badge, and our cars have one. What really limits access are the pedestrian streets of the Santa Cruz quarter and the area around the town hall: there the driver drops you at the nearest road access, usually on the Rambla or beside the town hall square.
Yes. Benidorm is 45 km away, 35 to 55 minutes on the AP-7; Altea and Calpe are about 60 km, and Guadalest 63 km via the CV-70. An eight-hour day combines Guadalest in the morning, lunch in Altea and the return via Benidorm, with the driver waiting at each stop and no need to think about parking in Altea's old town.
Yes. Child seats, pushchairs, golf clubs and boards travel free if you mention them when booking, so we send a vehicle with the right boot. A saloon takes two large suitcases and two cabin bags; a people carrier up to seven medium suitcases. For trade-fair material or film equipment, tell us the volume and we adapt the vehicle.
Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before in a saloon or people carrier and up to 96 hours before in group vehicles. If the start time, pickup point or number of hours changes, message us and, if availability allows, we adjust it at no cost and send you the updated confirmation by email within a few minutes.
Tell us the date, the start time and what you want to do in Alicante: Zonetransfers sends you a fixed price for the hours or days you need. For weddings, trade fairs with several cars or multi-day routes, message us on WhatsApp and we plan it with you.
