Car hire at Granada airportDiscover Cars
Hire a car for the Sierra Nevada ski slopes, Jaén or the Alpujarra villages, which no bus from the airport serves. You already reach the bus station, Gran Vía and the cathedral on ALSA’s line 245, which meets the flights. Discover Cars shows the full price before you book.
A flight three or more hours late, or cancelled at short notice, can be owed up to €600 a passenger under EU and UK rules, depending on the flight. AirHelp charges only if the claim succeeds.
