Your own car from Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) down to Cartagena and the Mar Menor coast
Landing in Alicante with a Roman amphitheatre and a naval harbour on your itinerary? A private car down to Cartagena is easier on the wallet than most people expect, the booking screen takes about a minute, and the confirmation lands in your inbox before you have closed the tab. The evening before you travel you receive the driver's name, mobile number and licence plate, you can follow the car on the map as it comes for you, nothing is added afterwards, and the service runs around the clock. From Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC) the road runs inland: down past Elche and Crevillente on the A-7, around Murcia, then south on the A-30 through the Campo de Cartagena until the Sierra Minera opens up and the harbour appears. Reckon on 122 km and 82 to 92 minutes, from €177 for the car rather than per seat. Visitors love this arrival because Cartagena unpacks itself around the Roman Theatre and the Calle Mayor, so a driver can set you down at a flat on the Muralla del Mar, at a hotel near the cruise quay, or further out in Santa Lucía, Los Barreros, Barrio Peral or Canteras — addresses where wheeled cases and steep old-town pavements do not mix. Cruise joiners sailing the next morning, families heading on to Cabo de Palos and the Mar Menor, and anyone whose flight touches down long after the last connection to Murcia has gone all use the same car.

Transparent pricing
A car from Alicante Airport down to Cartagena starts at €177, and that covers the whole vehicle, not one passenger. Where exactly you are going in the city and how many of you are travelling move the figure, so the booking module prices your own trip the moment you fill in the address and pick a vehicle. Nothing is bolted on for a night landing or a Sunday.
Included in what you see: live monitoring of your inbound flight, sixty minutes of waiting after the wheels touch down, and cancellation free of charge until twenty-four hours before pickup. Settle up online while booking, or with cash or a card in the car. What the screen quotes is what the driver asks.
What makes this arrival in Cartagena easy
Cartagena sits a long drive from its nearest big airport, which is exactly why the last stretch deserves to be settled before you fly. One car, one driver, one amount agreed while you book. Your flight number is watched, so a late gate change in Alicante does not leave anyone guessing, and the driver stays on for a full hour after touchdown at no extra charge. Cases go in the boot for you, the car runs straight to the address you typed, and cancelling is free up to a day ahead. We are a Belgian company with more than ten years behind us, out on the road at three in the morning as readily as at three in the afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the drive from Alicante Airport to Cartagena actually take?
Between 82 and 92 minutes for the 122 km, going inland past Elche and around Murcia before the A-30 brings you into Cartagena. Holiday weekends on the Costa Blanca stretch it a little.
My flight gets in close to midnight. Is that a problem?
No. Bookings are taken for any hour, including landings after the last train from Murcia has gone, and the price is the same as for a midday arrival.
Where do I find the driver once I am through the terminal?
In the arrivals hall at Alicante-Elche Airport, waiting by the exit with a sign showing your name. There is no need to join the rank outside.
Can the car drop me right at the cruise terminal in Cartagena?
Yes. The quay sits beside the old town, so the driver goes to the terminal entrance rather than leaving you to walk in from a car park.
We are four adults with big cases and golf bags. Does that fit?
Pick a larger vehicle in the booking module and the available luggage space is shown with it, so you can see before paying whether everything travels in one car.
What is the starting price for this transfer?
From €177 per vehicle. The exact amount for your address and party size is calculated in the booking module before you confirm.
Do you also drive on to Cabo de Palos or La Manga?
Those addresses are further along the coast from Cartagena, so enter the exact destination when booking and the module works out the price for that run.
