Ground transportation edit
There are infrequent buses to and from the airport to Jerez, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Cádiz.
Taxis and car rental companies have lobbied to ensure they are the primary transport options.
Jerez Airport train station is situated to the west of the airport, this is the other side of the car parking, at a 1-minute walk. Even though local trains (Cercanías) and medium distance (Media Distancia) both pass the airport station all day long. Local taxi groups have lobbied to ensure that 90% of services do not stop at Jerez Airport. This makes the timetable quite infrequent and discourages the use of public transport. The rail company 'Renfe' has a seating policy which ensures that arriving passengers will often not even be able to buy train tickets on Media Distancia services as the seats will be full in advance. Overall this makes Jerez inconvenient for travellers on a budget who prefer to use public transport. Your most affordable option is to find other passengers who want to group together to travel to Jerez de la Frontera Station and take Cercanías services from there.
