This fare covers this bus only, no transfer. A SUMA 10 for zones AB+ (EUR 12.60 until 31 December 2026, plus a EUR 1.10 card, up to 15 people) is valid too, but must be bought at a Metrovalencia machine, not on the bus. Under-sixes travel free, two per adult. Aena's own page also lists a EUR 2.80 fare not found in the ATMV tariff.

Hours, tickets & luggage

One person arriving with nothing pays EUR 5.90: a EUR 4.80 AB+ single plus a EUR 1.10 cardboard card (EUR 2.20 in plastic). Companions can add EUR 4.80 each on the same card. The SUMA 10 gives ten AB+ rides on one card for EUR 12.60, down from EUR 21.00 until 31 December 2026, usable by up to 15 people travelling together — EUR 13.70 here is card plus ticket. It covers Metrovalencia, EMT, Metrobús and Cercanías in zones A and B and the airport, one transfer per ride, and reduced-price rides can be used until 31 January 2027. Both are sold at the station's machines and ticket office. Children under ten travel free with an adult, two per ticket. The stored-value TuiN costs EUR 1.20 a ride but must be registered online and collected at a city customer center, so it is not priced here.

Luggage. Nothing on Metrovalencia's tariff page charges for luggage; its travel rules are not published beyond that.

Hours. From the airport, Monday to Thursday: line 3 05:27–22:32, line 5 06:21–22:36. Fridays: line 3 to 23:27, line 5 to 23:36, then night trains at 00:15, 00:47, 00:55, 01:35 and 02:07. Saturdays: line 3 from 05:47, line 5 from 06:55, to 23:35, with the same night trains. Sundays and holidays: line 3 from 07:07 to 22:47, line 5 from 07:35 to 22:15, every 15 minutes on weekdays and about 20 at weekends. Aena lists the last Monday–Thursday train at 22:36; FGV's own timetable has it later, at 23:57 — check Metrovalencia's planner for the current last train.
