Taxi fare from Torrevieja to Alicante Airport at Christmas
During the Christmas season, demand for transfers to Alicante Airport increases significantly. To help you plan your trip with peace of mind, at Maxitaxi we have a fixed price system that allows you to know the exact cost of your transfer before confirming your booking, even during peak season.
Below are our updated rates and all the details you need to bear in mind when travelling at Christmas.
Updated rates for 1–4 and 5–6 passengers
The taxi service from Torrevieja to Alicante Airport (ALC) has clear and stable rates, designed to suit individual travellers as well as families or small groups:
- 1–4 passengers → 60€
- 5–6 passengers → maximum 75€
These rates include:
- Pick-up at your home, hotel or residential complex.
- Private vehicle adapted to the number of passengers.
- Tolls and taxes already included.
- Flight tracking at no extra cost (ideal on dates with frequent delays).
At Christmas, there is an increase in the number of travellers carrying bulky luggage, extra suitcases and gifts, but at Maxitaxi we do not apply luggage supplements, provided that it is within the capacity of the vehicle.
Night and holiday surcharge (+€10 at Christmas)
The only price variation during this period is related to the night and holiday surcharge, which also applies during the rest of the year.
- Fixed supplement: + 10€
- Night-time hours: from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- Also applies on public holidays, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
The final amount is always shown when you submit the form or confirm your booking via WhatsApp or telephone.
There are no hidden charges or surprise increases: the fixed price is final.
Do prices go up at Christmas? What you need to know
Unlike other services or platforms that apply dynamic pricing, at Maxitaxi we do NOT raise our prices at Christmas.
The cost of the transfer remains the same, and only the night/holiday supplement of 10€ is added, which is fixed and transparent.
However, there is one important change:
Availability
At Christmas, there is increased demand from:
- Families travelling abroad.
- International residents arriving.
- Transfers at dawn and late at night.
- Passengers with extra luggage or gifts.
That is why we recommend:
- Booking at least 6 hours in advance, as required by the service.
- Making your booking as soon as possible if you are travelling on critical days: 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 30th and 31st December and 1st January.
Travel time during the Christmas season
During December and January, traffic to Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport tends to be heavier than usual. With travellers returning home for Christmas, full international flights and busier roads, planning your departure time well is key to avoiding setbacks.
At Maxitaxi, we review each booking taking this seasonality into account, so that you always arrive with plenty of time to spare.
Distance between Torrevieja and Alicante Airport (ALC)
The distance between Torrevieja and Alicante Airport is approximately 43–45 kilometres, depending on your exact departure point.
Under normal conditions, the journey time is around 40–45 minutes, but during the Christmas period it is advisable to take into account additional factors such as traffic, roadworks and weather conditions.
All Maxitaxi transfers include advance planning and monitoring of traffic conditions to adjust the pick-up time if necessary.
How Christmas traffic affects travel time
Christmas brings certain traffic peaks that can increase journey times:
- Mornings between 7:00 and 10:00 → early flights + commuting.
- Afternoons between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. → increased commercial activity and Christmas shopping.
- Key days: 23, 24, 25, 26 and 31 December, as well as 1 January.
On these dates, the journey time may increase to 50–55 minutes.
If you are travelling with children, elderly people or a lot of luggage, it is particularly advisable to allow extra time.
At Maxitaxi, we adjust the pick-up time according to the flight and expected traffic so that you don’t have to worry about any unforeseen circumstances.
When to leave to arrive on time on public holidays
To avoid rushing —and taking into account the usual Christmas peaks— these are our departure recommendations:
If your flight departs between 6:00 and 10:00
Leave Torrevieja between 2h 30min and 3h before your flight departure, as this is the busiest period.
If your flight departs between 11:00 and 16:00
Two hours in advance is usually sufficient.
If you are flying in the afternoon/evening (5:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.)
Always allow 2h 15min to 2hs 30min, especially from 23 to 31 December.
On public holidays such as Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Year’s Day
We recommend booking your taxi further in advance than usual, as demand increases and road surveillance is stepped up.
Our team reviews each booking individually and will confirm the ideal pick-up time to ensure punctuality on any date.

Minimum 6 hours’ notice: why it’s key in December
Maxitaxi requires a minimum of 6 hours’ notice for online bookings, and this rule is especially important at Christmas.
Why?
- Demand increases significantly between 23 December and 2 January.
- Many travellers fly at inconvenient times (early morning, early hours of the morning).
- Families often need large vehicles, which sell out quickly.
- Roads and airport access routes are busier.
Booking in advance guarantees you:
- A confirmed fixed price.
- An assigned driver and guaranteed pick-up.
- A vehicle adapted to the number of passengers and luggage.
- Peace of mind to plan your trip without stress.
In December, last-minute bookings may not be available. If you already know your flight details, secure your transfer as soon as possible.
Advantages of choosing Maxitaxi at Christmas

At Maxitaxi, we have adapted our service to make your transfer from Torrevieja to Alicante Airport as comfortable and predictable as possible, even on the busiest days of the year.
Fixed price with no surprises (luggage, delays, child seats)

A fixed price means peace of mind: there will be no surprises, even with the Christmas rush

That’s why at Maxitaxi we offer specific solutions so you can travel from Torrevieja to Alicante Airport in complete comfort, without worrying about space or the needs of each passenger.

Child seats and solutions for children
For many travellers, especially families, the safety of young children is a priority. That’s why at Maxitaxi we offer:
- Child seats
- Booster seats
- Seats adapted for different ages
Simply indicate this when making your booking — either on the online form or via WhatsApp — and we will prepare the appropriate vehicle at no extra cost.

Accessibility is essential, especially during periods when travel increases and unforeseen circumstances may arise. To this end, we offer:
- Drivers trained to assist people with reduced mobility.
- Vehicles with sufficient space for folding wheelchairs.

Taxi or public transport at Christmas? Quick comparison
At Christmas, choosing how to travel from Torrevieja to Alicante Airport can make the difference between a peaceful journey and a stressful experience. Holiday timetables, increased passenger numbers and extra luggage make many people wonder which option is more convenient: private taxi or public transport.
Here is a clear comparison to help you decide.
Availability and holiday timetables
Public transport usually operates on reduced timetables on:
- 24 December (Christmas Eve)
- 25 December (Christmas Day)
- 31 December (New Year’s Eve)
- 1 January (New Year’s Day)
In addition, there are not always direct connections from Torrevieja to the airport, and some routes may require changes.
In contrast, Maxitaxi maintains 24/7 availability even on public holidays, with guaranteed pick-up provided that the booking is made at least 6 hours in advance. This avoids having to rely on special timetables or lower frequencies during the holidays.
On special dates, taxi availability is more stable and predictable than that of public transport.
