Question: Our company have just bought a house in Muchamiel (Mutxamel) and we are going there in August. A car hire for two weeks is about 400 euro so we consider going with taxi from Muchamel to Alicante, to the beach and in the evenings. Do you know approx the cost of a taxi from Mutxamel to Alicante ? by Stefan Johansson, Sweden
Dear Stefan: We live in San Juan, which is just the neighboring town to Muchamiel in the northern end of Alicante. Muchamiel (in valencian its Mutxamel) lies about 6 km from the Alicante city center. To give you a rough idea it should take you no longer than 15 minutes to get from Mutchamiel to downtown Alicante. Therefore my estimate (or good guess) for a taxi to Alicante would be around 10 to 15 Euros, depending on which part of Alicante you are heading to (listing of several Alicante Taxi companies here). Remember Alicante is a quite a widespread city.
From San Juan / Muchamiel to the airport of Alicante the cab costs currently about 27 Euros. (last time my wife took a taxi to the airport couple of weeks ago).
Your mentioned cost of 400 Euros for a two weeks Alicante car rental sound a bit high to me. Did you check out the various companies we listed on our Alicante car hire page here? Perhaps you can find a cheaper car rental offer, since having a car at your disposal is definitely worth it.
Hope this helps.
