Your Guide to Local Taxis in Northern Costa Blanca: Benissa, Javea, Denia, Calpe, Moraira, Jalon, Lliber and Surroundings

If you're spending time in the beautiful Northern Costa Blanca, you'll likely need a taxi at some point. Whether you're based in Benissa, Javea, Calpe, Denia, Moraira, Jalon, Lliber or nearby villages like Senija, it helps to understand how the local taxi system works. It's not like in big cities where you can flag one down on the street.

How Taxis Work in Northern Costa Blanca

Taxis here are municipally regulated. Each town issues its own licenses, and by law, drivers can only pick up passengers from their designated area. So a taxi from Benissa can't legally collect someone in Calpe or Javea, unless there's a formal agreement between towns.

Because of this, short rides within your town should always be arranged through the local “Radio Taxi” dispatch. Drivers are usually required to work within the limits of their license. If you try calling a driver from a different area, chances are they’ll redirect you back to your local service.

For airport transfers, there is more flexibility. Many local drivers offer pre-arranged pickups to and from Alicante or Valencia airports. These trips are typically arranged in advance and do not follow the same strict zoning rules.

How to Book a Taxi

There’s no Uber or Bolt in these smaller towns, and taxis don’t usually wait in public areas. The best way to get a taxi is to call. It’s straightforward, but you need the right number for your area. Some private drivers also offer services, especially for airport runs.
