Transportation in Ibiza: All the Options

​

Let’s start with the easiest way of getting around Ibiza – a taxi service.

​

1) Taxis

What can be easier than catching a cab? Indeed, taxis are a popular and convenient mode of transportation to get to your accommodation after a long night of partying and drinking.
You can simply book one over the phone or call the reception in your hotel to order one for you. Alternatively, you can catch one on the street, although please note if you are close to the taxi rank, the taxi may not stop on the street to pick you up and you will have to walk to the taxi rank.
However, there is a pitfall to be aware of. The availability of cars to order can differ depending on the time of the day. You can encounter long lines at the taxi ranks after 11 pm when the majority of tourists head to bars and clubs, as well as around 6 am when everyone goes back to their hotels. Also please note that there is no Uber in Ibiza.
 

How to avoid queues? Well…There’s an interesting solution. Just go by the disco bus (if you’ll be able to confidently stand on your feet by that time, of course)! Yeah, the Ibiza transportation system is never boring! For more info about Disco Bus, stay with us.

2) Disco Bus

Wondering how to get around Ibiza at night? Getting back to the hotel after a night of disco on a Disco Bus? What? Is this a joke? Don’t judge until you try it! This vehicle is really cherished here because it is probably the best way to get around in Ibiza.

It runs between the most popular places, such as San Antonio, Playa D’en Bossa, and Ibiza Town (the only exception is Santa Eulalia) by road. Starting its route at 16:00 and finishing at 07:00 in the morning, the Disco Bus is a lifesaver for party people who are unable to take a cab during rush hour and it connects the majority of super clubs – Amnesia, DC-10, Hї Ibiza, Ushuaїa, and Pacha. And as for Eden and Es Paradis, there’s a bus stop only 5 minutes away.
This season, the service was available from May 28 to October 3, although this may change slightly in the future. The service costs €4 for a single journey.  

While everyone is crowding in lines to get a taxi, just have a fun ride on a Disco Bus! Also, some drivers even put on good tunes to get you in the mood!

3) Water Bus

​

You’d better not have seasickness for this one! A water bus is one more option for moving around. Why choose it? It is a fast way to get wherever you want to, it’s pretty cheap, the service is exceptional, and the experience is unforgettable.
The schedules are frequent from the early morning until late at night. Available routes are: Ibiza Town – Figueretas – Playa d’en Bossa; Playa d’en Bossa – Figueretas – Ibiza Town.
Trust us, this type of transport is particularly beneficial during the high season, when regular buses are packed and sweltering. And even if you have already figured out how to get around in Ibiza, we still recommend taking a water bus to enjoy the views of the Mediterranean Sea.

4) Car Rental

For those who strive to be as independent as possible, car rental is a big yes. There are numerous services in Ibiza, and most of them are excellent. Usually, you can choose a pickup point yourself or even order a car to be brought to the desired location.
We highly suggest families with children rent a car as it provides mobility, privacy, and the freedom to plan your day as a bonus. It will also be a perfect fit for tourists seeking luxury, as there is a vehicle to suit every taste and budget. Wondering how long it takes to travel around Ibiza and how long it takes to get from one side of Ibiza to the other? The island is quite small and takes around 1 hour to get from the North to the South; however, if you want to explore the island all around, then we recommend 2-3 days.
If renting a car is not for you and you’re asking yourself where to stay in Ibiza without a car, then we highly recommend in sticking to the major towns reachable by public transport. If you still want to explore Ibiza without a car, keep reading!

5) Scooters

Are you a hopeless romantic going on a vacation to Ibiza? Or getting around Ibiza without a car? Good news! All your dreams will come true here: captivating views, golden beaches, an azure sea, mesmerising sunsets, and scooters!
Often, you can easily find some to rent at the majority of car services. Please note, to rent a scooter here ,you will need a valid passport or identity card, a driving license, and be at least 18 years old. This doesn’t apply to e-scooters, though; they are usually treated as bikes.

6) Public Transport

You decided when to go to Ibiza, chose the hotel of your dreams, and bought the tickets already, but forgot to figure out how to travel around the island. No worries about that!
Luckily, the public transport system is very convenient and cheap here.
Buses are the most popular and cost-effective way to get around sunny Ibiza. Before catching one, make sure to have some cash on you, as this is the only payment option; also monthly travel cards are available. The service cost between €2 – €3.50, depending on the destination.
