KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Alicante
- When embarking on your holiday with your cheap car hire in Alicante, you will want to make the most economical use of your vehicle. A good way to save on fuel is to opt for the full-to-full fuel policy, which means you will return the car with the same amount of fuel that was in it. This way you save money, as opposed to the full tank policy, which oftentimes tourists find themselves not finishing a tank, only to not get refunded for the remaining fuel.
- Spain has predominantly used manual transmission cars over the years, which will mean the chances of your cheap car hire in Alicante being a manual are very high, as at least 80% of Spanish cars are still manual. If you were taught to drive using only automatic, you will have to check that the car hire company of your choice has automatic vehicles in stock. They generally will have a few models in automatic form, but they get booked out fast and are usually a bit more pricey than manual cars.
- Driving your Alicante car hire should not be too daunting as the area is appropriately signed and accommodates tourists well. However, if you are going to be spending a lot of time on the road, or taking a road trip, it is advisable that you hire a GPS with your booking. This can be collected at the same time you fetch the car and will be great for helping you find your way, find the shortest routes and even avoid congestion. Expect to pay a small daily fee.
- Alicante has a plethora of attractions and mesmerizing sights dotting the city, from the Castell de la Santa Bàrbara to the beautiful Old Town spreading to the harbor. Whether visiting the Costa Blanca, exploring all of the city’s attractions, or even venturing out into the countryside, with a hire car everything is easier since you get to decide when and where to go. You may even want to explore the city of Murcia, only a 1-hour drive away.
- When you arrive at Alicante’s International Airport, head to the car hire agency desks in the arrivals hall at the terminal building. There, major companies like Goldcar, Europcar, and Sixt offer vehicles for all tastes. The quickest way into the city center is via the A-70, but the N-332 is a more scenic route along the coast.
- In Alicante you can be fined for driving in flip-flops, high heels, or barefoot. It is recommended to wear proper foot attire while driving and probably even to opt for closed shoes when sitting behind the wheel -- you can always trade them for flip flops once arriving at the beach. Laws in Alicante are strictly enforced, so ensure you familiarize with them beforehand, as the police usually do not accept excuses (not even from tourists). The legal drinking limit is 0.05% and penalties are enforced when drivers are above that.
- Around Alicante there are various toll roads, so be sure to bring cash with you and map out the routes in advance, so you know when and where to pay. Around Alicante, the AP7 is a toll road that can be avoided by taken the N-332, which is a bit slower but has no tolls. Traffic on the toll roads, however, is usually lighter; so, for a quicker ride, it could be worth investing the money.

5.6 Fair
Jul 2017
Pros:
Pick up from airport and return was good, no delays. Car was clean and did the job for us.Cons:
Like most of the rentals they tried to sell extra Insurance at top cost. We already had extra bought in uk and they still tried. We didn't buy any extra despite their saying our cover wasn't enough. It's time you and other sites sorted this out with the rental companies you offer. They also tried to intimidate us by having an existing body damage report and using it to say we were bound to get more marks and my insurance wouldn't cover it. It did!4.4 Mediocre
Dec 2016
Cons:
We were charged additionnal fees which were not clearly advertised on your website. We had to choose in the end between an option of 106€ with insurance included, and us having to refil the car. Or pay 120€, not refil the tank (but the difference between the full tank and what we consumed not being deducted) and the deposit. We were told admin fee for refilling the car is aabout 50-60€, which is quite substantial for the service it is. And this was not clearly indicated. Also we were told that if not refilling the tank, the difference between the amount for the full tank, and what we consumed would not be deducted. Which I think is not fair. I'm ok to pay for what I consume, but not for something I don't. At the end we paid much more than advertise on your website, and even though "some potential additional fee" could be expected, there was no clear indication it would be of such amount. We choose the renting of this car company, because of it attractive price, but we think it was missleading. Next time we will most likely look directly on Sixt, AVis, Europcar websites, and not look on Kayak.com as the price indicated there is very much missleading. We are very disapointed at the end. I have boked in the past via Kayak.com and was never badly surprised like this.One location in Alicante
