It is available in many cities around the world, and they offer set prices for the rides, customer support and GPS car location tracking from the app, among other advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00bfTiene Uber Alicante? <strong>Uber is available in Alicante.<\/strong> After years of delays and false starts, Uber finally launched its ride-hailing service in Alicante. You can now use the Uber app to book rides across the city and surrounding areas, including Benidorm or Altea, just like in any major European city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Uber, you&#8217;ve got several other options for getting around Alicante. Apps like Cabify, FREE NOW, and PideTaxi have been operating here for years and remain popular choices. Let&#8217;s look at all your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use Uber in Alicante<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber is available in Alicante, and its use is straightforward with their app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Download the Uber app<\/strong> from the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.ubercab\">Google Play Store<\/a> o <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/uber\/id368677368\">Apple App Store<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create an account<\/strong> or sign in with your existing Uber account (your account works worldwide)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add a payment method<\/strong> \u2014 credit\/debit cards, PayPal, and Uber Cash are accepted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enter your destination<\/strong> and request a ride<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uber Services in Alicante<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber typically offers several vehicle categories in Alicante:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>UberX<\/strong> &#8211; Standard rides for up to 4 passengers. The most economical option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electric<\/strong> &#8211; 100% electric rides at a similar price to UberX<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Van<\/strong> &#8211; High capacity vehicles for 6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comfort<\/strong> &#8211; Newer cars with extra legroom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uber Prices in Alicante<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber uses dynamic pricing, meaning fares can vary based on demand. Here are approximate guide prices for common routes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Origen<\/th><th>Destino<\/th><th>Precio estimado<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Estaci\u00f3n de tren de Alicante<\/td><td>Aeropuerto de Alicante<\/td><td>~15-30\u20ac<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Alicante Centre<\/td><td>Playa de San Juan<\/td><td>~12-18\u20ac<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aeropuerto de Alicante<\/td><td>Benidorm<\/td><td>~70-90\u20ac<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rambla de Alicante<\/td><td>Museo MARQ<\/td><td>~6-9\u20ac<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Always check the fare estimate in the app before confirming your ride. Prices can be higher during peak times, bad weather, or when there&#8217;s high demand (such as after a flight lands or during the <a href=\"https:\/\/alicanteabout.com\/es\/festivales\/hogueras-de-alicante-guia-de-las-hogueras-de-san-juan\/\">Hogueras festival<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uber Coverage Area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber operates throughout the city and the surrounding metropolitan area. The service covers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Centro de Alicante<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Playa de San Juan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>El Campello<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parts of the Costa Blanca, such as Benidorm and Altea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For trips to destinations further afield like Benidorm or Calpe, Uber should be available, but prices will be higher due to the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"alternative-apps-to-uber-in-alicante\">Other Ride Apps in Alicante<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Competition is healthy, and sometimes you will find better prices or faster pickup times with these alternative apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first alternative is Cabify. It is a direct competition with Uber in many cities around the world. They are more centred in Spain and Latin American countries than Uber. Cabify has been operating in Alicante for a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second alternative is PideTaxi. It is an app and website created by the traditional taxi drivers&#8217; association in Spain, and has similar features to Uber and Cabify, plus a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Comparison: Ride Apps in Alicante<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Uber<\/th><th>Cabify<\/th><th>Pay in cash<\/th><th>PideTaxi<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Fixed prices<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713 (Lite) \/ Variable (Taxi)<\/td><td>Variable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Airport pickup<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pay by cash<\/td><td>\u2717<\/td><td>\u2717<\/td><td>\u2713 (Taxi only)<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pay in app<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pre-book rides<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>English app<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>Limited<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All apps are free to download and use \u2014 you only pay for the rides you take<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"free-now\"><strong>GRATIS AHORA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FREE NOW es una aplicaci\u00f3n europea similar a Uber fundada en Hamburgo, Alemania.

Note that taxis are organised in different associations depending on the city where they operate. Alicante Airport is in Elche&#8217;s municipality, so taxis starting a ride from the airport are from the company <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotaxielche.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Radio Taxi Elche<\/a><\/em> en lugar de <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxienalicante.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Radio Tele Taxi Alicante<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airport usually has many taxis waiting for clients, so it should be easy to get one. All the rides starting at the airport have an extra charge of 4.25\u20ac. More info on Alicante Airport Aena&#8217;s website. If you still want to use an app from Alicante Airport, you can use Radio Taxi Elche or PideTaxi apps. Both apps&#8217; usage is very similar;r the features are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PideTaxi tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 disponible en la ciudad de Benidorm. <a href=\"https:\/\/alicanteabout.com\/es\/transporte\/alicante-a-benidorm-traslados-ciudad-y-aeropuerto-bus-tranvia-taxi-y-precios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here is how to go from Alicante and Alicante airport to Benidorm, including taxi, Cabify, TRAM train and more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"airport-transfer\">Alicante Airport Transfers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a ride from Alicante Airport is now easier than ever with multiple app options available.

After collecting your luggage, head to the designated ride-share pickup area on the ground floor and request your ride. The app will show you exactly where to meet your driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cabify at Alicante Airport:<\/strong> Cabify also operates there. Go to the pick up area in ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traditional Taxis:<\/strong> There are always plenty of taxis waiting at the airport. Taxis from Alicante Airport are operated by Radio Taxi Elche (since the airport is in the Elche municipality). All rides from the airport include an extra charge of \u20ac4.25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La mejor opci\u00f3n para trasladarse al centro de Alicante desde el Aeropuerto es utilizar <a href=\"https:\/\/alicanteabout.com\/es\/transporte\/del-aeropuerto-de-alicante-al-centro-de-alicante-en-autobus\/\">the 24\/7 Alicante Airport C6 Bus<\/a> o coja un taxi en la planta de salidas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your transfer is longer, for example, Alicante Airport to Benidorm, you can book a taxi using the <a href=\"https:\/\/servitaxielx.com\/en\/alicante-airport-taxi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taxi website<\/a> o utilizando un servicio de traslado como el siguiente por unos 80 euros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>El taxista le esperar\u00e1 en las puertas de llegada del aeropuerto con su nombre escrito en un cartelito para facilitar su reconocimiento.

They operate under VTC licences (<em>Veh\u00edculos de Turismo con Conductor<\/em> or &#8220;Tourist Vehicles with Driver&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VTC licences are different from taxi licences. VTC vehicles can only pick up passengers who have pre-booked through an app or website \u2014 you can&#8217;t hail them on the street like a taxi. There are also fewer VTC licences than taxi licences in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The relationship between traditional taxis and VTC services has been contentious in Spain, with taxi drivers staging protests over the years. However, both Uber and Cabify now operate legally in Alicante, and many have found ways to cooperate \u2014 for example, Cabify&#8217;s app allows you to book traditional white taxis with a fixed price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VTCs are different from taxis in their regulation. For example, they can pick up people only if the service has been booked in advance. There are fewer VTC licences than taxi licences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxi drivers have traditionally been trying to beat Cabify, Uber and the VTC companies all around Spain. They have denounced the companies in the courts, created demonstrations to urge the government change the laws and launched advertising campaigns in the media to stop the apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After seeing that their efforts didn&#8217;t stop these taxi apps, they have decided to work together with Cabify. The partnerships allow booking a traditional taxi service using the Cabify app with a fixed price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cabify-gives-you-water-and-plays-the-music-you-want-to-listen-to\">Cabify te da agua y pone la m\u00fasica que quieres escuchar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a way to differentiate from the competition, Cabify cars are usually clean, and the colour is usually black. The driver will usually dress smartly. They give you a small bottle of water and ask you what music you want to listen to before starting the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"history-of-uber-in-alicante\">Historia de Uber en Alicante<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber&#8217;s journey to Alicante has been a long one. The company first announced plans to launch in the city back in February 2019, planning to offer UberX using VTC-licensed vehicles (the same model Cabify uses).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the launch was repeatedly delayed due to regulatory challenges. Taxi driver strikes in Catalonia led to new laws that made operating difficult, and since VTC regulations are controlled by Spain&#8217;s autonomous communities, the Valencian regional government announced changes that forced Uber to postpone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For several years, Uber&#8217;s service area map showed Alicante as a planned market, but the service never went live \u2014 until June 2024, when Uber finally launched ride-hailing in Alicante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch came after years of regulatory negotiations and changes in the VTC licensing landscape. Today, Uber operates alongside Cabify and traditional taxis, giving travellers more options than ever for getting around the Costa Blanca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"uber-eats\">Uber Eats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Uber rides are now available, Uber Eats has been operating in Alicante for much longer. The food delivery service covers Alicante city and Elche, though coverage in smaller towns like Benidorm and Javea is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the same Uber account for both ride-hailing and food delivery \u2014 just switch between the Uber and Uber Eats apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app Uber Eats will show you the status of your order, such as preparing food at the restaurant, with an estimated time of arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the courier is on the way, you can see the exact location on the map. Some more information, like his\/her name, the car\/motorbike\/bike she\/he is driving, the review stars other users gave to the driver, and a button to make a call are available as well. At the end of the booking, you can make and leave a review as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preguntas relacionadas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1643935989924\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong><strong>Is Uber available in Alicante?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes!
