We have a 'Targeta de Transporte' license and we are fully insured for hire & reward.
Note: not all Costa Blanca transfer operators are insured!
There are numerous illegal operators on the Costa Blanca pretending to be legitimate taxi-transfer companies. There are also apartment owners, letting agencies and golf tour companies offering cheap & illegal transfer services. Alicante & Murcia Airports are renowned for illegal & uninsured operators.
Illegal operators may approach you a distance away from the arrivals terminal or designated parking area for coaches & taxis. These operators are not insured for passenger liability cover.
If stopped by the Police the vehicle will be immediately confiscated leaving you potentially 'stranded'. All licensed vehicles have a SP (Servicio Publico) plated by the Spanish Authorities.
If you suspect your transport is illegal, ask to see their Targeta de Transporte license. Legal operators will happily show theirs.
