How to get to Ibiza Airport by Taxi

Ibiza Airport is found approximately 7 km, or 3.4 miles to the southwest of Ibiza Town, or otherwise known as Eivissa. The airport is the main arrival point for the majority of local and international tourists of the island, and currently serves around 8 million passengers per year. The airport is at its busiest during the summer months, when thousands of visitors come to enjoy the fabulous beach resorts and other attractions. Ibiza is one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, and is also just a short ferry trip from the mainland. Although the public bus system in Ibiza is excellent, many passengers prefer to hire a Ibiza taxi, or arrange a private transfer, these are quick and convenient, but a more expensive way to travel.

Taxis are available 24 hours a day from just outside the arrivals area of the terminal building. The airport has just a single passenger terminal, and all arrivals are handled from the ground floor, while departures for the various airline companies take place from the first level of the building. Since that it is a small airport, arriving and departing passengers will have no trouble finding their way around the airport’s facilities. Taxis from the airport are most convenient for travelling to Ibiza Town, and this journey will take approximately twenty minutes, depending on traffic conditions, which can become much busier in the summer. The average taxi fare to this location is fifteen Euros. Ibiza taxis can also offer transport to the resorts of the island, such as Playa d’en Bossa, San Antonio, San José, San Juan and Santa Eulalia.

Ibiza taxis can be hired upon your arrival at the airport, or can be arranged in advance of your flight to the island. Although an advanced reservation offers peace of mind, there are generally always taxis available in the taxi rank. The taxi company available from the airport is Radiotaxi, and they can be contacted at +34 971 800 080 for further information about their rates and services.

Although taxis are always available, those, which are able to accommodate disabled passengers with special needs, should be booked in advance. Taxis are generally not equipped for special-needs passengers, and therefore a car with the correct seats etc. will need to be arranged. These specially adapted taxis may not always be found at the taxi rank. Passengers can call Radio Taxi San José for booking a special car, at the same phone number as listed above (971 800 080). Disabled passengers will also find that Ibiza Airport is fully equipped for their needs, with adapted toilet facilities, ramps and elevators for easier access to upper areas of the building, and further assistance with arrival or departure procedures may also be arranged with the relevant airline company.

Ibiza Airport taxis run on a metered system, which means that the device within the taxi will record the number of kilometers traveled on the journey. The taxi fare is then calculated accordingly. Passengers of a taxi are entitled to ensure that the meter is in working condition, and are switched on for the duration of their journey. The first few kilometers traveled may be charged at a slightly higher rate than subsequent kilometers, and in general, the further the destination, the lower the rate charged per kilometer. There is also a minimum fare charged and a supplement fee for driving to and from the airport or port of the island. Taxis fares are more expensive at night, between the hours of 21:00 and 06:00, and on Saturday from 15:00 onwards. Sundays and public holidays incur a greater charge as well. The rates are higher per kilometer, and the minimum fares are higher as well. Passengers of a taxi will also be charged for waiting time, should this be applicable, of around fifteen Euros per hour.

Taxis from the airport will carry a maximum of four passengers; therefore, if you are travelling in larger groups, a private transfer might be an alternative form of transport. Private transfer companies offer transport for groups of up to fifty people, and are also able to offer safety seats for young children. Taxis do not carry child seats, and for a taxi, they cannot be booked or arranged. Although many people think a private transfer to be very expensive, it could work out cheaper than a conventional taxi, even for just one or two people. Private transfer companies at Ibiza Airport offer transport in safe and modern vehicles, and to all destinations on the island. Passengers are usually greeted in the arrivals hall of the airport by a representative of the company, and escorted to the vehicle.

In popular tourist or public areas of Ibiza Town, taxis may be available, but from more remote locations, one may need to be called to come and fetch you from your starting point. Additional charges may be added for the call as well. Taxis on the streets of Ibiza are available if their green light is on.

Passengers travelling to or from the airport mostly find the taxi drivers to be very friendly and honest, and that the journey is quick and convenient, making up for the extra cost of the transport. Taxi drivers may also be able to recommend a few good restaurants, hotels, beaches or tourist attractions, as they are very familiar with the towns of Ibiza.
