Will my driver be waiting if my Valencia flight lands late?

Manises handles a constant mix of European city-break and Costa Blanca charter flights, so a late touchdown is the worry travellers raise most. hoppa follows your flight from the moment you leave the gate, so your driver knows the real landing time, not the one on your ticket.

Every booking builds in 60 minutes of free waiting once you are on the ground, and international arrivals add a further 30 minutes. That extra half-hour is what keeps your driver in place when the baggage belt crawls or passport control backs up.

You do not need to lift a finger. A delay simply shifts your pickup, and the fixed fare you agreed before departure does not budge.

What does it cost to my destination?

What's the price from the airport to my resort?

Prices vary by route, vehicle, season, and time of day. Enter your dates and party size above to see your fixed quoted price for the exact journey.

What's included in my fixed price?

Your quoted price covers vehicle hire, fuel, the driver's service fee (tips), tolls, parking, taxes, and any entry, congestion or airport-access fees on the route. There's nothing extra to pay the driver on arrival.

What's NOT included, what could cost extra?

Charged separately and disclosed before they apply: overtime fees if your trip runs longer than reserved, excess-mileage fees if you exceed your booked distance, night-time service fees on some routes (22:00–08:00), holiday or event surcharges in some regions, additional child seats beyond the first one (which is free), and extra stops you add during the ride.

Will the quoted price change between booking and travel?

No. Once your booking is confirmed, your price is locked, it's what you pay regardless of demand, season or currency changes between today and your travel date. Booking early is the surest way to secure today's rate.

Will I pay anything to the driver on arrival?

No. Your fare is paid in full at booking and covers everything the driver's owed, tips, tolls, fuel, taxes, parking. Bookings are pre-paid via credit card, debit card, or PayPal on the hoppa platform. The only reasons your final charge could differ from the quote are changes you make on the day (extra stops, route changes) or fees for damage or smoking, which are disclosed in our terms.

Are there night-time or holiday surcharges?

Some services include a night-time fee for travel between 22:00 and 08:00, and prices may adjust on local holidays. Both are always reflected in the quote you see before paying, there's nothing additional charged at the trip itself.

Can I tip the driver?

Tipping is entirely at your discretion. The driver's service fee is already included in your fare, so a tip is appreciated but never expected.

Do prices change for larger group sizes?

Rates are set per vehicle category, not per person. Moving up to a larger vehicle to fit a bigger party or extra baggage is reflected in the fixed quote you see at booking.

I think I was overcharged

Disputes must be raised within 14 days of the charge date by emailing customer service with your card statement and a brief explanation. After 14 days, charges are considered final.

Which vehicle fits my group?

How many people and how much luggage fit in each vehicle?

Vehicle categories include Sedan, Business Sedan, Minivan, Business Minivan, Minibus and Bus. Each has a strict insured maximum for passengers and luggage that drivers must adhere to. Default luggage allowance is one 24-inch suitcase per passenger, bags larger than 24″ count as two pieces. Choose a category that fits both your party and your bags.

Will I get the exact car shown in the picture?

Vehicle images are for illustration only. You're booking a category, not a specific model, and we may upgrade you to a higher category at no extra charge if your selected one isn't available.

Shared shuttle vs private transfer, what's the difference?

Private transfers take you directly from your pickup point to your accommodation, with no shared passengers and no extra stops. Shared shuttles are budget-friendly and pick up multiple passengers on a planned route, so the journey may take longer but the per-person price is lower.

Can I add a child seat for my baby or toddler?

Yes. We offer infant carriers, baby seats and boosters depending on your supplier and route. Add the seat type you need during booking so it can be confirmed in advance.

How much does a child seat cost?

The first child seat in your booking is included free. Any additional seats may carry a fee from the supplier, the exact amount is shown in your booking quote before you pay, so there are no surprises.

I forgot to request a child seat, can I add it after booking?

Yes. Contact customer service as soon as possible to add it to your booking. Late requests are honoured subject to availability, so the sooner you ask, the better. Important: no refund or replacement applies if a driver arrives without a seat that wasn't requested in time.

Is my child seat guaranteed once I've added it to my booking?

If you've added the seat at the time of booking, it's confirmed with your transport supplier. Seats requested after the booking is placed are subject to availability. If a seat ends up unavailable on arrival because it wasn't requested in time, no refund applies.

Can I bring a pet or service animal?

Yes, at no extra charge. Notify us at booking so the right vehicle is allocated. Important: animals count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity, so a 5-seat vehicle with two pets has three human seats.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible options?

Yes. Note any accessibility need (wheelchair, mobility scooter, special assistance) in the booking comments. We work with specialised partners and make reasonable efforts to accommodate.

What if my flight is delayed?

Will my driver wait if my flight is late?

Yes. Your driver waits up to 60 minutes free after your scheduled arrival for airport pickups. For international flights, there's also a 30-minute buffer added on top, so your driver's free waiting period starts after that buffer ends.

What if my flight is delayed by more than 2 hours?

Contact customer service to reschedule. If we can't pick you up at the new time, the order is cancelled without charge.

What if my flight is cancelled entirely?

Your transfer is cancelled free of charge. Contact customer service immediately so we can update the booking.

What if my flight is diverted to a different airport?

Contact us immediately. We'll do our best to reschedule your pickup, though we can't guarantee a free transfer if the new airport is in a different region or significantly further from your destination.

Where will I meet my driver?

24 hours before pickup we send a final SMS or WhatsApp with the exact meeting point and your driver's contact details. Meet & greet at the arrival gate is available on request, subject to airport policy, if not possible at the gate, we'll assign an alternative meeting point.

What if I'm stuck inside the airport (luggage, immigration)?

Use the emergency number on your e-ticket to call the driver or local supplier and let them know you're still in the terminal. The driver will wait through their free period and, if reached in time, can sometimes extend.

What counts as a no-show?

Not appearing within the free waiting period and being unreachable for additional time. No-shows are charged in full and non-refundable.

Best price & current deals

Where can I find a discount code?

Active offers are applied automatically when you search, there's nothing to enter manually. To see what's currently running, check our discount codes page or our homepage banner.

Should I book early?

Yes. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance for the best vehicle selection. Bookings within 24 hours are subject to availability and may carry an expedited service fee. Booking early also locks in today's price.

Is there a low-deposit option?

On selected services and destinations, yes, pay a deposit now and the balance before your travel date. If the balance isn't paid in time the booking auto-cancels and the deposit is forfeited. Note: low-deposit bookings can't be paid with hoppa Credits.

What is Refund Protect?

An optional add-on at checkout from our partner Refund Protect. If you (or anyone in your party) can't attend for a covered reason, you receive 100% of your booking back. Refund Protect's decision is final, see their full terms when adding the option.

Can I use hoppa Credits from a previous booking?

Yes. hoppa Credits apply automatically to your next booking when you log in with the same email. They expire 12 months after issue, can't be transferred between accounts, and can't be combined with low-deposit bookings.

Can I cancel and get a refund?

Yes, depending on timing and vehicle size. Up to 7 seats: free cancellation more than 24 hours before pickup; 100% charge within 24 hours. 8–14 seats: free outside 48 hours. 16+ seats: free outside 14 days, 50% within 14–7 days, 100% within 7 days. Approved refunds process within 14 days to your original payment method.

How long is the transfer from Valencia Airport to the city centre, the cruise port and the Costa Blanca?

Valencia Airport sits roughly 8 km west of the city at Manises, so the trip into town is short and traffic shapes the timing far more than distance does. Here is how the routes travellers book most often break down:

Valencia city centre (Ciutat Vella, Ruzafa and the City of Arts & Sciences) runs 15–20 minutes by private car.
Valencia cruise port takes about 25 minutes, delivered right to the terminal.
Costa Blanca resorts (Gandia, Calpe and Benidorm) sit 1–2 hours down the coast on a direct transfer.

The table below lists indicative private-transfer fares and drive times for each of these routes.

Destination	Distance	Transfer time	Recommended vehicle	Range prices
Valencia airport to Valencia city centre (Ciutat Vella)	9 km	15 - 20 mins	Private car	Private from £22
Valencia airport to Ruzafa & City of Arts & Sciences	10 km	20 mins	Private car	Private from £23
Valencia airport to Valencia cruise port	12 km	25 mins	Private car	Private from £25
Valencia airport to Malvarrosa & Patacona beaches	13 km	25 - 30 mins	Private car	Private from £26
Valencia airport to Paterna	7 km	15 mins	Private car	Private from £22
Valencia airport to Gandia	75 km	1 hr	Private car	Private from £70

Which Valencia Airport transfer is right for you?

At Valencia the right vehicle comes down to group size and budget rather than the roads themselves. The private car that suits two people bound for a Ruzafa hotel is the wrong pick for a family with a boot full of cases, or a crowd heading down to the Costa Blanca. This quick guide points you the right way:

Solo travellers and couples do well with a private car, or the shared shuttle when watching the pennies.
Families step up to a private MPV with space for the buggy and the holiday luggage.
Groups stay together in a minibus or coach for the run to Benidorm or Calpe.

The table below pairs your travel style with the vehicle that fits.

Your travel style	Recommended service	Why it works
Solo or couple, Valencia city centre	Private car (saloon)	Direct door-to-door into Ciutat Vella or Ruzafa, no shared stops and no surge pricing at peak arrival times
Backpacker on a budget	Shared shuttle to the city centre	Scheduled departures, one fixed seat price from an indicative £8pp, and your bags ride with you the whole way
Family of 4–5 with luggage	Private estate or MPV	A large boot for suitcases, buggies and holiday cases, with child seats fitted on request, the first one is free
Group of 6–14 (family or Costa Blanca party)	Private minibus	One vehicle keeps the whole group together to Benidorm or Calpe, with a route-experienced driver and a single fixed all-in price
Larger group of 15+	Private coach	Up to 60 seats for tour groups, corporate parties and large families, booked to match your arrival time
Business meeting in the city centre	Private car or executive saloon	A quiet ride, a professional local driver and a receipt for your expenses
Wheelchair user	Wheelchair-accessible minibus	Lift-equipped and pre-booked to match your arrival, seating 1–6 passengers

A few things worth knowing before you book:

Your first child seat costs nothing with any hoppa transfer, provided you ask for it at booking; leave it off and the driver can turn the ride away with no refund.
The fixed fare covers everything, including any night-time charge between 22:00 and 08:00 local time, so there is nothing more to hand the driver.
Luggage runs to one case up to 24 inches per person, and anything larger counts as two pieces, so pick a bigger vehicle if you are packing heavy or bound for the Costa Blanca.
Free cancellation stands up to 24 hours before pickup on cars of up to 7 seats, and up to 48 hours before on 8 to 14 seaters.
Pets and service animals are welcome, though they use up a passenger place, so mention them when you book.

What happens if my flight is delayed, diverted or lands in the early hours at Valencia?

Valencia is a busy leisure and business gateway, and the late Costa Blanca flights arrive well after the metro and airport bus have thinned out. hoppa is ready for each of these cases:

If your flight is diverted, your driver hears about it before you land and gets in touch to reposition or rebook.
If it is only delayed, your pickup adjusts on its own, since the 60-minute free wait and the 30-minute international buffer absorb a slow arrival.
If you touch down at 02:00, the fixed fare already folds in the night-time period, so no surcharge appears and no night tariff gets sprung on you at the kerb.

With a transfer booked ahead, a late Valencia landing becomes the one thing you can stop worrying about.

Is hoppa cheaper than a Valencia airport taxi, a ride-hailing app or the metro?

Several routes lead from the airport into Valencia, and each earns its place:

The airport taxi rank charges a metered fare into town plus a night supplement, and the rank clogs up on busy evenings.
A ride-hailing app can look keen on a quiet afternoon, then surge with demand and leave you waiting for a nearby driver to accept.
The metro (lines 3 and 5) offers a cheap flat fare with an airport supplement into the centre, but you drag your own cases, and the airport bus (line 150) is slower again.

For the cheapest fixed door-to-door fare, hoppa sets your price before you fly. The table below shows how the choices stack up.

Transport option	Indicative price to city centre	Journey time	What's included / what to watch for
hoppa pre-book private car	from £22	15–20 min	Fixed all-in price (≈ €26). Named driver waits in arrivals, flight tracked, free cancellation.
hoppa shared shuttle	from £8pp	20–35 min	Cheapest pre-booked option. Pre-booked seat, fixed price, a few stops along the route.
Valencia airport taxi rank	€25–30	15–20 min	Metered fare that varies with traffic; a night surcharge applies and the driver does not track your flight.
Ride-hailing app	surge-priced	15–20 min	Unpredictable fare that surges with demand; you wait for a nearby driver to accept.
Metro line 3/5 + walk	€4.90	25–35 min	Cheap flat fare with an airport supplement, but you haul your own cases and the airport bus (line 150) is slower still.
Arrivals-hall touts	No fixed price	varies	Avoid. Unregulated touts in arrivals often overcharge, use the official rank or your pre-booked driver.

Mind the hidden cost: a metered taxi or a surge-priced app seems simple until an evening scrum at the rank, a 22:00 to 08:00 night charge or a load of luggage nudges the fare higher, which is exactly when the Costa Blanca flights come in. Booking a hoppa transfer pins the price the second you confirm: one fixed all-in fare, free cancellation up to 24 hours before, and a driver watching your flight. That is what pre-booking is for. Prices are indicative.

How does hoppa compare to a Valencia airport taxi or the metro?

A Valencia airport taxi and the Metrovalencia metro (lines 3 and 5) will both get you into the city, and for a solo dash to the centre either does the job. What neither hands you is a fixed all-in price agreed before you set off, a named meet-and-greet driver, or a vehicle matched to your group.

hoppa gives you all three. Where the rank runs a meter and the metro leaves you and your cases to finish on foot, hoppa spreads across the whole range: shared shuttles into the centre from an indicative £8 per person, private cars and MPVs to the cruise port or the City of Arts & Sciences, and minibuses and coaches for a group run to Benidorm or Calpe.

Every fare stays fixed with free cancellation on cars up to 7 seats, driven by vetted local operators, whether you land for a business meeting in town or a week on the Costa Blanca. It is more destinations across 2,600+ airports and resorts, the same institutional-grade reliability, all on a single booking.

Is hoppa transfer reliable?

Yes, and here is why. hoppa's managed network puts you in the hands of more than 70,000 vetted local operators across 182+ countries, each one checked for licensing, insurance and service standards. With over 40 million travellers carried and the confidence of Mastercard and UnionPay behind it, hoppa runs on the same infrastructure the world's leading financial networks lean on for ground transport. Fixed fares, live flight tracking and round-the-clock support keep your transfer certain.

Valencia draws a steady flow of city-break and Costa Blanca charter flights, and hoppa is ready for both.

If your flight lands late, your driver already knows, because hoppa tracks it and your booking holds 60 minutes of free waiting after you land, plus a 30-minute buffer on international arrivals.
The airport taxi rank runs a metered fare with a night surcharge on top, while your hoppa price is fixed before you fly.
If you cannot spot your driver, call the number on your e-ticket. hoppa's team answers in an average of 11 seconds: not a chatbot, not a ticket queue, but a real person, on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Yes. hoppa plugs into Mastercard's Agentic Pay platform, so AI agents can search, compare and complete a transfer booking for you across the full network of more than 70,000 vetted providers, with no human step needed. hoppa is built for the age of agentic travel.

Valencia Airport terminal guide & tips

Valencia Airport (VLC), also known as Manises Airport, works from a single passenger terminal, so every flight lands in the same place and there is no inter-terminal transfer to think about. Once you clear passport control and collect your bags, follow the signs down to the ground-floor arrivals hall.

Private transfers meet you in the arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name or the hoppa logo.
Shared shuttles and coaches depart from the ground-floor pickup zone just outside arrivals, so follow the signs rather than the taxi rank.
Wave off anyone at the kerb touting a flat-rate run into town, and stick to your pre-booked driver or the marked official rank.

The full picture on arrivals, delays and getting around is in the airport guide below.

Valencia Airport (VLC)

Where to go when you land at the single passenger terminal

Arrival Guide Delays & Drivers Travel Info What to do?

Arrivals

Valencia has a single passenger terminal, so every flight arrives at the same place. After passport control and baggage reclaim, follow the signs into the ground-floor arrivals hall. Your e-ticket lists your exact meeting point and a phone number to call if you cannot see your driver.

Private transfers

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall on the ground floor, just past the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name or the 'hoppa' logo.

Shared shuttles & coaches

Walk to the ground-floor pickup zone just outside arrivals for the shared shuttle and coach pickup point. Follow the signs, not the taxi rank.

Delays & Driver Info

Free waiting time

Your driver waits up to 60 minutes after your scheduled landing, with an additional 30-minute buffer once you have cleared passport control — useful when the queues at Valencia are long.

Delayed or diverted?

Your driver tracks your flight from the moment you board. If weather diverts you to Alicante or another airport, they know before you land and will contact you to reposition or rebook. A delayed flight simply moves your pickup — there is nothing for you to do.

Can't find your driver?

Head to the information desk in arrivals and call the number on your e-ticket. hoppa's team picks up in an average of 11 seconds, a 99.7% call answer rate (CE indicators): a real person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

General Travel Information

Currency & tipping

Local currency is the euro (EUR). Tipping is modest and not expected, and any gratuity is already included in your hoppa fixed price. Prices here are shown in pounds for the UK market.

Peak traffic

The roads into the city and along the coast to the Costa Blanca back up on busy weekday evenings and summer weekends. Allow extra time for a Friday-evening or peak-season arrival.

Avoid unofficial taxis

Ignore anyone at the kerb offering a 'flat-rate run into town.' Use only the marked official taxi rank at the front of the terminal if you want a metered taxi.

Honest alternative

The metro lines 3 and 5 run from the airport to the centre in about 25–35 minutes. The airport bus (line 150) serves the city too on a fixed fare — cheaper, but station-to-station with no door-to-door service and slow with luggage.

What to do around Valencia airport?

If you have time before your transfer or your flight home, Valencia and the Costa Blanca coast reward an early start.

Wander Ciutat Vella, the historic old town, for the cathedral, the Central Market and the Turia gardens, about 15 minutes from the airport.
The City of Arts & Sciences is 20 minutes away for the aquarium, the science museum and the futuristic architecture.
The Malvarrosa beaches and the marina are 25–30 minutes away for the seafront, paella restaurants and a first night by the sea.

Ready to book your Valencia Airport transfers with hoppa?

The city centre sits 15–20 minutes away, the cruise port about 25 minutes, and the Costa Blanca a clean run down the coast. From the second you reach the arrivals hall, your name is on a sign and your route is already drawn, with the fare fixed before you flew.

Valencia airport transfers: Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer from Valencia Airport to the city centre?

A private car from Valencia Airport into the city centre (Ciutat Vella or Ruzafa) starts from an indicative £22, and a shared shuttle starts from an indicative £8 per person. The fare is fixed and all-in before you pay, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel on cars of up to 7 seats. Prices are indicative, so check hoppa.com for live prices.

How long does the transfer from Valencia Airport to the city take?

Valencia Airport sits about 8 km west of the city at Manises, so the run into town is short. A private car reaches the city centre (Ciutat Vella and Ruzafa) in 15 to 20 minutes, and the City of Arts & Sciences in about 20 minutes. Traffic shapes the timing far more than distance, and your driver knows the fastest route.

Is a hoppa transfer better than the metro or a taxi from Valencia Airport?

The Metrovalencia metro (lines 3 and 5) runs a cheap flat fare into the centre, but you haul your own cases and finish the last stretch on foot. The airport taxi rank charges a metered fare that varies with traffic, plus a night surcharge, and the rank clogs up on busy evenings.

A hoppa transfer gives you a fixed all-in price agreed before you fly, a named meet-and-greet driver waiting in arrivals, and a vehicle matched to your group. Prices are indicative, so check hoppa.com for live prices.

Can hoppa take me from Valencia Airport to the cruise port?

Yes. hoppa runs door-to-door transfers from Valencia Airport straight to the cruise port, delivered right to the terminal in about 25 minutes. A private car starts from an indicative £25, so you arrive for your sailing with time to spare. Your flight is tracked live and the fare stays fixed, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel on cars of up to 7 seats.

Does hoppa go to the Malvarrosa beaches and Costa Blanca resorts?

Yes. hoppa covers the beaches and the coast on a single fixed-price booking:

Malvarrosa and Patacona beaches: about 25 to 30 minutes, private car from an indicative £26.
Gandia: about 1 hour, private car from an indicative £70.
Calpe and Benidorm on the Costa Blanca: about 1 hour 30 to 45 minutes, private car from an indicative £120.

Groups heading down the coast can keep everyone together in a minibus or coach. Prices are indicative, so check hoppa.com for live prices.

Will my driver meet me inside Valencia Airport arrivals?

Yes. Valencia Airport (Manises) works from a single passenger terminal, so there is no inter-terminal transfer to think about. Once you clear passport control and collect your bags, your private-transfer driver meets you in the ground-floor arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name or the hoppa logo. Shared shuttles and coaches leave from the pickup zone just outside arrivals, so follow the signs rather than the taxi rank.

What happens if my flight lands late at Valencia Airport?

hoppa tracks your flight from the moment you leave the gate, so your driver knows the real landing time, not the one on your ticket. Every booking includes 60 minutes of free waiting once you are on the ground, and international arrivals add a further 30 minutes. If you touch down at 02:00, the night-time period between 22:00 and 08:00 is already folded into your fixed fare, so no surcharge appears at the kerb. A late Valencia landing simply shifts your pickup, and the price you agreed does not budge.

Can I add a child seat or cancel my Valencia transfer?

Your first child seat is free with any hoppa transfer, provided you request it at booking. Free cancellation stands up to 24 hours before pickup on cars of up to 7 seats, and up to 48 hours before on 8 to 14 seaters. Luggage runs to one case up to 24 inches per person, and anything larger counts as two pieces, so pick a bigger vehicle if you are packing heavy or bound for the Costa Blanca. Pets and service animals are welcome, though they use up a passenger place, so mention them when you book.
