Almer\u00eda is a 50-minute drive from Moj\u00e1car, there are taxis out the front and a regular airport shuttle bus that services most flights.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If Almeria is not suitable for you, your next best options are Murcia which is around one and a half hours, and Alicante, which is the furthest local airport at around 2 hours and 20 minutes drive away.<\/p>\n<h2>Almeria Airport<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3132\" src=\"https:\/\/mojacarlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Almeria-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"The front view of Almer\u00eda Airport, with 'AEROPUERTO DE ALMERIA' in raised letters on the facade and a black galleon silhouette below it.

Almeria Airport is around a 50-minute drive to Moj\u00e1car, with rarely (if ever) any traffic jams or hold-ups on the motorway.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just one boring motorway the entire way, the A-7, so it is an extremely easy drive with minimal traffic, no toll roads, and no busy roundabouts.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d12771.625025588437!2d-2.3704731!3d36.8447211!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0xd7a9957658660fd%3A0xff180d4d083c5d65!2sAlmer%C3%ADa%20Airport!5e0!3m2!1sen!2ses!4v1699972361385!5m2!1sen!2ses\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>Additionally, this airport tends to be less crowded than Murcia &amp; certainly Alicante, resulting in shorter queues and quicker baggage claims. The disadvantage to keep in mind is that the choice of airlines and flight routes is slightly limited compared to larger airports.<\/p>\n<p>Typically in the height of the summer season, there are 3-4+ flights a day landing at Almeria airport from various UK airports, including Gatwick (the main one), Stanstead, Manchester, London Luton &amp; various other airports across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>With various domestic and international flights, Almeria Airport provides good connectivity to most major European cities.<\/p>\n<h3>Travel Options From Almeria Airport To Mojacar<\/h3>\n<p>There are 5 ways you can get from Almeria Airport to Moj\u00e1car, varying in cost, travel time, and convenience. I&#8217;ll do my best to outline them below so you can choose which suits your needs best.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/exclusiveairportshuttles.co.uk\/?ai=ovj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get The Shuttle Bus<\/a> (BEST OPTION)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/exclusiveairportshuttles.co.uk\/?ai=ovj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3315\" src=\"https:\/\/mojacarlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Exclusive-Airport-Shuttles-Almeria-Airport.gif\" alt=\"A rotating banner advert for Exclusive Airport Shuttles from Almeria airport\" width=\"583\" height=\"437\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is a <a href=\"https:\/\/exclusiveairportshuttles.co.uk\/?ai=ovj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">very good and reliable shuttle service<\/a> from Almer\u00eda airport to Moj\u00e1car that is English owned and run.<\/p>\n<p>Pricewise it&#8217;s an extremely cost-effective option and one of the most popular options for getting to Moj\u00e1car from Almer\u00eda airport. Costing around \u20ac20 per person each way via <a href=\"https:\/\/exclusiveairportshuttles.co.uk\/?ai=ovj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exclusive Airport Shuttles<\/a>. They are extremely trusted, and reliable and are used by most locals as it&#8217;s cheaper than driving with parking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MAKE SURE YOU BOOK EARLY TO SECURE YOUR SPOT!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Exclusive airport shuttles are also able to provide a private hire taxi for around \u20ac120 which can fit up to 4 people, just get in touch with their team.<\/p>\n<h4>Renting A Car At The Airport<\/h4>\n<p>Obviously, this is what most people will do if they&#8217;ve never been here before, it&#8217;s the easiest option when booking flights and if you need transport whilst on holiday it&#8217;s nice to know you have a car waiting for you upon arrival.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; it&#8217;s often not the cheapest or best route. Almer\u00eda car hire companies can take hours to queue up for after landing. I&#8217;ve personally known people who are still stood in line after I&#8217;ve already arrived back in Moj\u00e1car.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, they are all larger companies so you have endless paperwork to sign, check the car, and credit card deposits .etc .etc.<\/p>\n<h4>Use A Mojacar-based Car Rental Company with Airport Pickups Included (RECOMMENDED)<\/h4>\n<p>There are a few very well-known and trusted local <a href=\"\/car-hire\/\">car hire companies in Moj\u00e1car<\/a> that provide competitive prices and a MUCH MORE personal service and can include airport pickups. They are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mojacarlife.com\/services\/caracola-car-hire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caracola Car Hire<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mojacarlife.com\/services\/costa-coches-mojacar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Costa Coches<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Book A Taxi<\/h4>\n<p>Using a regular metered taxi from outside the airport will likely cost in excess of \u20ac100-\u20ac120 to get to Moj\u00e1car, if not more. Unless you&#8217;re in a desperate situation, avoid metered taxis for this journey.<\/p>\n<p>They are perfectly friendly and not out to rip you off, but the reality is a 90-mile journey in a taxi is expensive.<\/p>\n<h4>Have a Friend or Family Member Pick You Up<\/h4>\n<p>Of course, if you have friends or family already here then having them collect you is the easiest option. It&#8217;s a 45-minute drive each way and will cost around \u20ac10 in fuel each way. If you do get picked up, consider offering them \u20ac20-30 to cover all their fuel for the trip and a beer, most people will be happy that this covers their costs.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t include the fuel costs for taking you back to the airport so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<h2>Murcia Airport<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3133\" src=\"https:\/\/mojacarlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Murcia-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"Exterior view of Murcia Airport with a modern, minimalist design featuring a long, horizontal building with vertical metal slats.
