Quick answer. Ibiza Airport has one terminal, about 7 kilometres from Ibiza Town. The airport buses, renumbered as AERO lines in the 2026 network, run to Ibiza Town, Platja d'en Bossa, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, and are cheaper paid by contactless card (about €3.50) than in cash. A metered taxi to Ibiza Town costs roughly €20 to €30, more at night and to Sant Antoni. For euros, use a bank machine such as CaixaBank in arrivals and decline the conversion offer. Spain has no Bank of America Global ATM Alliance partner. Your hotel will add the Balearic tourist tax at check-out.

Bank machines at Ibiza (IBZ), and the bus and taxi stands
Ibiza's single terminal has arrivals on the ground floor and departures above. In summer it is one of the busiest airports in Spain for its size, with charter and low-cost flights from all over Europe arriving in waves, and the taxi queue can stretch for an hour on Friday and Saturday nights. Bank machines from CaixaBank, Santander and BBVA are in the public arrivals area, alongside exchange counters and standalone machines that charge more. Spanish machines must show any fee for a foreign card before you confirm; read it and cancel if it is high. The island charges the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, a few euros per person per night, collected by your hotel and higher in the peak season. The Balearic Islands money guide covers the tourist tax, the Formentera ferries and island prices, and the Spain money guide covers machines, tipping and card fees.
Arrivals hall (ground floor)
All flights: Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling, Jet2, TUI, British Airways, Iberia and the summer charters
After baggage reclaim, bank machines are in the public arrivals hall. Choose a CaixaBank, Santander or BBVA machine over the standalone ones, and always choose to be charged in euros. The car hire desks and the bus and taxi exits are in the same hall.

Taxi rank
Metered island taxis
Outside arrivals. Fares are metered on the official Balearic tariff, with night and weekend surcharges. Most taxis take cards, but confirm before you set off. In peak summer the queue is long; a pre-booked transfer avoids it.
Do you actually need cash at Ibiza (IBZ)?
Not for transport. The buses take contactless cards, and taxis take cards. But Ibiza is not cashless:
Airport bus to Ibiza Town (about €3.50 by card, more in cash): About 20 minutes; frequent in summer.
Airport bus to Sant Antoni (about €3.50–5 by card): About 30-40 minutes.
Taxi to Ibiza Town (roughly €20-30): About 15 minutes; night and weekend surcharges.
Taxi to Sant Antoni (roughly €30-45): About 25 minutes; queues are long on summer weekends.
⚠ DCC trap. When the ATM or terminal asks if you want to be charged in your home currency instead of the local currency, always decline and choose the local currency. Accepting locks in a 3-13 percent markup that your no-FX-fee card cannot undo. Full DCC explainer →
