Alicante Alicante to Barcelona
Posted: Tue August 5, 2008 12:44 PM UTC
OK I know its a bit late but we are flying into Alicante this Saturday 9th and flying out of Barcelona on the 17th spending one night in Barcelona on the 16th. There are 7 of us so I had planned to hire a 7/9 seater car and use it for the holiday and then drive to Barcelona. Lo and behold the hire companies that I had provisionally booked with ALL came back with no availability for a 7/9 seater !! SO.... other than have the pain of hiring two cars can anyone either suggest a hire company or another cheap way of getting to barcelona. When I did a quick check it looked like £483 for the train and £500 for a plane !!

Cheers

the train trip costs from 46,6 euros to 83,20 (depending on the train) and it takes aprox 5 hours.
by plane, with clickair, there're 2 flights available on the 16th and four on the 15th, from 56,29 euros (71,29 incl taxes). also from 54 euros on edreams.com.
i wouldnt go by bus. it's cheaper but the bus trip to barcelona is a pain (for some reason that route is worse than travelling to other cities like madrid, etc)
i did a searcg on pepecar.com and found 7 seater cars available for the 16th (86€). didnt go further than that but you may want to check.

good luck!
