Terminal desk or shuttle at Valencia Airport?

Terminal desks are attractive when you value the fastest possible collection after landing. A shuttle operator can still be competitive when the savings or rental conditions are better enough to justify the short transfer.

If most of your trip is inside central Valencia, calculate parking and the days you really need a car. If you are heading to beaches, inland towns, events or a multi-stop route, collecting at the airport can be much more convenient.

Four checks before you collect the keys

  1. 1
    Compare total pickup time, not only rental price

    A cheaper off-airport rate may still be a good deal, but include shuttle and check-in time in your decision.

  2. 2
    Confirm the card deposit before travel

    The amount blocked on your card can be more important than a small difference in daily price.

  3. 3
    Save your P1 or shuttle return route

    Airport returns are easier when the exact lane and parking area are saved in advance.

  4. 4
    Check your hotel parking

    Central Valencia accommodation may have limited or paid parking.
