Alicante Airport pickupDay rates per class come from the same seven-day search as the deals above.
Families can filter for seven-seaters, and automatics are common at ALC. As on every Spain page here, the cars belong to local firms that set their own rules.
Your booking voucher gives the meeting spot and a phone number for the firm.
There is no rental desk to queue at: head for the spot your voucher describes, and ring the firm if you cannot find it.
Landing late? Fewer cars are offered for night pickups and a few charge extra, so put your actual arrival time into the search.
A small number of Alicante cars carry a charge for the airport handover. You see it inside the total before you pay.
The search for car hire in Alicante shows these airport cars plus delivery to an address in town, and the city is about 20 minutes away. Benidorm is about 50 minutes up the coast.
Practical information for an arrival or departure through Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport.
No, not on any car listed here. The deposit may still go on a debit card, so read the payment methods before you book.
Without a credit card, expect a debit card rather than cash for some deposits; the car page spells it out, as it does for all cars in Spain that need no credit card.
A few ALC cars are car rental in Spain with no deposit. Elsewhere the hold ranges from €100 to €1,700, depending on the car.
Spain drives on the right. Bus, taxi and cycle lanes are for those vehicles only, so keep the hire car out of them.
Leave a roundabout from the outer lane unless a sign or arrow allows another. Missed the exit? Go round again.
Spanish law requires a connected V-16 light and a reflective vest in the car. Check both are there at pickup.
Tell the company straight away and get a police report, unless it agrees otherwise. Skipping either can cancel the cover.
Fuel, parking and any motorway tolls on the way are yours to pay, so keep a little budget aside for them.
From the airport: Alicante, about 20 min; Elche, about 25 min; Benidorm, about 50 min; Altea, about 55 min; Murcia, about 1 h 15 min.
These times assume clear roads and no stops; the city figure ends at Plaza de los Luceros.
Stay on paved public roads throughout the hire, including the approach to a beach or rural accommodation.
Planning to leave Spain? Tell the company in advance so it can prepare the documents for the trip.
Want to finish at another airport? Enter that return point when searching and check which cars are available.
Search with the airport as pickup and your return place as drop-off. Book only a pairing the search offers.
Select your return point first, then compare the total. Check for any pickup or return charge before paying.
Ask where to bring the car back and how the inspection works. Leave enough time to unload before your flight.
Flying home from Valencia Airport? Select it as your return point to check availability and the full price.
Each bar is the typical day rate for a week’s hire from the 15th of that month, with pickup and return at the airport.
If you want to share the driving, add the other driver to the booking and check their age and licence experience.
Reserve the child seats you need and ask the company to confirm them before you fly.
Allow room for every passenger, suitcase and pushchair. Check the boot with all the seats you need in place.
You can bring a small pet, but it must stay in its travel carrier while in the car.
It changes from one car to the next, even within the six deals above.
Full cover at no extra cost. The Fiat Panda and Ford Ka in the deals already include SuperCDW, with no excess and a deposit of €150 or €250.
CDW and a €1,100 excess. On the Citroen C3 and Ford Focus the excess equals the deposit, so one dent could cost up to that sum.
Basic cover without an excess. The Fiat 500 and Toyota Aygo list CDW with nothing to pay towards damage and €350 held.
Never covered. Wheels, the underside, glass and the interior sit outside standard insurance, and neglect or deliberate damage voids any level.
A physical national licence, with its details also in Latin script, that is still valid on your return day.
Licences valid only at home: pack an International Driving Permit to show if the firm asks.
Minimum age and licence years vary by car, so set the driver filters before you choose.
Return the car with the same fuel level you collected it with.
Yes. Many cars carry a 24-hour cancellation option; without it the deadline comes earlier.
Standard cars can be cancelled up to a week ahead, luxury cars and convertibles up to 30 days. A no-show forfeits the advance.
Write to support with your voucher. Refunds land within 14 days minus the 6% payment fee, and a date change is a fresh booking.
No, none of the cars listed here needs one. Some take the deposit by debit card instead, which the car page states.
Yes, a few cars hold nothing. The rest hold between €100 and €1,700 depending on the model and the cover you pick.
Some cars cap the daily distance and others do not; the cap and the charge per extra kilometre appear with each car.
Yes, on some cars. Search with the real landing time: night handovers remove part of the choice and can add a fee.
Where your voucher says. The car park names do not show where a hire ends, so ask the company before your last day and leave time for the return check.
Choose your dates and the airport pickup, then compare the car, the cover and the full price before you book.
