How Tickets & Payments Work

Line 9 tickets can be paid via contactless card on the validator or cash to the driver. Taxis accept major credit cards.

Traveling with Suitcases

Line 9 coaches have luggage space; taxis have standard boot space.

Arriving After Midnight

Line 9 operates between 07:00 and 23:00 during high season. For arrivals after 23:00, take an official taxi from the rank (€35-€40 night rate) or pre-book a private transfer.

Common Mistakes & Airport Scams to Avoid

  • Looking for the direct Line 9 bus in the off-season (November to May)—Line 9 only operates in summer; off-season travelers must take Line 10 to Ibiza Town and transfer to Line 3.
  • During peak summer party months (June to September), unlicensed "pirate taxi" drivers frequently solicit clubbers and arriving passengers inside the terminal and near luggage carousels, quoting exorbitant flat rates (€60-€100). Always use the official taxi queue outside or book licensed private shuttles.
