How to Get from Alicante to Benicassim 2026

From Alicante

Getting from Alicante to Benicassim

Alicante Airport (ALC) is 280 km south of Benicassim - around 2.5 hours by car or festival bus. While it is further than Valencia, Alicante is served by a very large number of cheap UK flights, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious festival-goers.

The drive north from Alicante follows the AP-7 / E-15 coastal motorway, which is largely straightforward once you clear Alicante's outskirts. The majority of the route is dual carriageway or motorway, and toll roads apply for much of the distance. The coastal scenery is excellent.

If you arrive at Alicante late at night, the train via Valencia is an option but involves two changes and a very long journey. In this case, the festival bus or car hire is strongly recommended.

🚗

Taxi

A taxi from Alicante Airport to Benicassim would cost in the region of €200–250 and is only really sensible if you are in a very large group or have missed the last bus. Car hire is almost always a better option.
