IBZ
Medium riskUpdated June 2026Medium confidence

While public transport is reliable and taxis are generally available, taxi scams can occur, and queues can be long during peak season.

TL;DR

IBZ (Ibiza) is the main international airport serving Ibiza, Spain. The recommended way out is L10 Airport Bus (~€3.50 - €4, 20-25 min to Ibiza Town). Pickup is at clearly marked bus stops outside arrivals. The most common scam to watch for is "Taxi Overcharging". Fares on the AIRPORT → City Centre route typically run €3.50-€4 (bus), €15-€20 (taxi); anything above €65 as offered by some hotels for a short ride is almost certainly a scam.
