Hi.

It's going to be our first visit to Villamartin in a couple of weeks and I am wondering whether a taxi transfer from Alicante Airport or a car hire would be better. The quote I have had from a taxi company at the airport is around 70 euros each way. It would therefore be cheaper to hire a car (100 euros or so). So, my question is, would it be cheaper to hire a taxi from a firm based in, or near, Villamartin? If so, are there any companies people can recommended?

Regards

Andrew

Hi Matey

I've had a reliable quote for 100 euros including insurance.I've also had taxi quoe for 40 euros each way. So those are the options open to me.

Regards

My neighbour has just paid €10 per day for car hire thru Ryanair for three weeks from Alicante airport...brand new fiat 500 and fully insured! 

I would suggest shopping around and personally I would opt for car hire over taxis as you have it at your  disposal weather you use it or not!

Sound advice. That is my current thinking. I have a quote from Firefly, through Ryanair, for about 10 euros a day. Thanks for the reply.

Firefly rip u off when u bring the car back they know where to look for little marks u can’t see on a number plate for example and then charge u 250 Euro for repair that’s why u need excess policy a year for 40 £ before u rent !!!  Be aware they know all the tricks     Regards john
