Almería Airport Bus

Almería Airport (LEI) is situated 9km east of the city centre in Almería , in the same named province of southeastern Spain. It is a small commercial airport which handled a little over 900,000 passengers in 2018. It is used mostly by low-cost airlines featuring flights to European metropolitan and leisure destinations.

How to get from Almería Airport to Almería

Bus

The city bus line nr. 30 drives everyday on the route between the airport and Estacion Intermodal de Almería (the main train and bus station)

Taxi services

In case you’re carrying a lot of luggage and don’t like using public transport, taxis are at your disposal in the Arrivals area at the airport’s terminal. Fares to and from the airport include a payment of 4.64 euros for city services. It is recommended to ask for a receipt after the ride.

Transfer

If your hotel is not easily reached by foot from the bus station, book a door-to-door transfer. Drivers usually wait for you outside the Arrivals area with your name sign, even if your plane is late. You can even pre-order a child safety seat if you’re travelling with a child.

Renting a car at Almería Airport

For those of you who would like to reach the city and explore the area on their own, we advise to rent a car directly at the airport. There are three car rental companies there, such as Goldcar, Europcar and Hertz. Save time and book your car online (it is recommended to do so at least 24h in advance).

Renting a bus at Almería Airport

For larger groups of passengers, the best option is to rent a bus at the airport. However, it is necessary to book it online, so the bus rental companies have enough time to advise you on the meeting point and all other information.

I arrive late at the airport. Will it be a problem for me to get to the city?

    Hi,

    In past years, I used the L22 bus from outside the front of the Estacion Intermodal a few times, to travel between the station and the airport. It all seemed very simple and reasonable.It seemed to run every 50 minutes, if I remember correctly.

    Now there is mention of the L20 ?? service, along with the very strange map with AEROPUERTO.pdf

    What does this mean: ?

    8 Av. de la Estación (20) (31)

    188 Aeropeurto

    Does this mean that the station is stop number 8?
    Has the L20 service replaced the L22 bus?
    Does this mean that bus route 20 calls at the station ?
    Does it still call at the airport?
    How often do these buses run?
    What time does the 20 service start in the morning and end at night?

    I am very confused by the diagram / picture.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Could you please tell me if the L22 bus has now stopped to and fro the airport in almeria from the Estacion Intermodal. Has it been replaced by L30.
    Neither the website nor the timetables at the bus stops have been changed.

    • Melani Grubić Mikulić   •  

      Dear Mary Meredith,

      If the timetable on their website hasn’t changed, then L30 probably didn’t replace L22. I checked official Surbus website and everything seems to be fine.

      Best regards!
