Benidorm on the Cheap - The 2027 Money Guide

Two car parks. Two airports. Same fortnight, same car.

East Midlands: about £90 to £100.

Manchester, off site: about £50.

The small airport is the expensive one, and almost nobody checks, because why would you. The big airport has a dozen independent operators scrapping over your custom. The small one does not, so it charges what it likes.

That is one paragraph. There are twenty-six more pages of it.

WHAT THIS IS

Not a guidebook. You have been to Benidorm. You know where the beach is, you have a bar you always go back to, and you do not need telling that the Old Town is lovely at sunset.

This is about the big money: flights, hotels, transfers, parking, the parks and getting about. The four-figure decisions, all made before you leave the house, and most of them made badly by people who are tired and have thirty seconds to think about it.

WHAT IS IN IT

When to go, and why there is no secret cheap week in summer.

Why the headline air fare is never the price.

Parking at the UK end, where people overpay by the widest margin of anything in the trip.

Getting from Alicante airport to your hotel, with every option priced.

Board level, and whether a balcony and a sea view are worth what they cost.

Buses, trams and taxis, with the ticket that cuts your tram fares by three quarters.

All four parks, gate price against online price.

WHAT IT WILL NOT DO

It will not tell you where to eat and drink. That is the October edition, once I have been back with a camera and checked every price myself. Buy this one and October lands in your inbox free.

And it will not tell you Benidorm is half price in winter, because it is not. A winter week is roughly ten to fifteen per cent cheaper on the hotel, not fifty, and the guide explains exactly why.

HONESTY ABOUT PRICES

Every figure was checked against the operator's own published table in August 2026. Where a price moves about, like transfers and airport parking, I have said so rather than quoting you false precision. Where something turns out to be wrong, tell me and I will fix it that day.
