Ground Transportation
There are regular buses to and from the airport to Jerez, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Cádiz. Taxis and car rental companies are available, too.
Jerez Airport train station is situated to the west of the airport, this is the other side of the car parking. The train station only has one of two platforms in use, since the high speed line northbound is still under construction. Consequently, although links to Jerez, Cadiz and Sevilla are available, the frequency of this service is limited to 2 or 3 trains a day.
