KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Alicante
- To hire a car from one of the companies offering cheap car rentals in Alicante, you must be at least 21 years old. Once you meet this requirement, you must present your agency with your driver’s license from your home country, an identification card for proof of your identity, and a credit card to complete the payment. In case you’re a non-EU citizen, it is required by law that you hold an International Driver’s Permit. Note that if you’re below 25 years old, you will pay a bit more than older drivers since most Alicante car rentals involve an additional fee for young drivers.
- Under Spanish regulations, children under 12 can’t travel in the front seat unless they’re in car seats intended for that purpose, or they are at least 4 feet 11 inches (135 cm) tall, in which case they can use adult safety belts. If you intend to have your child ride in your Alicante car rental, the type of child car seat you should install in the car will be influenced by their height and weight. Your child must sit on an infant carrier if he weighs below 22 lbs and is less than 2 feet 6 inches (76 cm) tall, and a booster seat if they weigh between 33 and 44 lbs and between 3 feet 3 inches (98 cm) and 4 feet (123 cm). Companies where you can get cheap car rentals in Alicante offer child car seats upon request.
- There are several road-trip-worthy destinations near Alicante. You can drive to Benidorm, a 35-minute drive road trip along the AP-7; Altea, a 42-minute drive via the AP-7; Murcia, a 50-minute drive via the A-7; Valencia, a 1h 50 min drive via the A-7; and Guadalest, a 1h drive via the CV-70.
- 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 rental 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 rental 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.

- Book your rental car in Alicante at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Alicante are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average

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
