Cheap Car Hire in Alicante

With your very own car while on holiday, you have complete access to everything that not only your resort has to offer, but also surrounding towns, cities and regions. This can be the difference between being confined to the same place for the entire duration of your getaway and being able to explore and enjoy everything that is available in the local vicinity. People often think that they only need a car if they want to venture really far away from where they are staying. However, it is actually the shorter trips where having a car is really worthwhile. It is the difference between a 30-minute walk to the big local supermarket with heavy bags on the way back and a 5-minute drive with no sweaty carrying work. It is the difference between walking to the beach with only a few towels as that is all you can carry versus being able to pack lounge chairs, parasols, beach balls and a packed lunch for a full day at the beach. On top of this, local transport can be difficult to navigate and understand in a foreign country and taxi services can be both unreliable and expensive, especially outside of peak season. Car hire is without a doubt the best option for affordability, flexibility and all-round convenience when travelling abroad.
 

Car Hire Places of Interest in Alicante

Alicante is one of the most popular Spanish destinations to fly to from the UK. Whilst the city of Alicante itself is a wonderful place to visit and is where many tourists stay, it is actually the airport that is most popular as it provides easy access to Benidorm and Valencia to the north and towns surrounding the beautiful Mar Menor to the south. The car hire for Alicante is used for people travelling to and from any of these stunning resorts. If you are staying in or close to Alicante though, there is plenty to do and see. Santa Bárbara Castle is perhaps one of the most iconic sights of the city as it looms over much of the land below. This 16th-century fortress is worth a tour and you can enjoy spectacular, panoramic views from its walls. The harbour and port of Alicante are also well worth a visit. Here you will find boats from small rowing boats to giant yachts, all sat and looking amazing sat perched in the glistening Mediterranean Sea. There are also plenty of cafes and bars along the front of the harbour as well as further into the town where you will enjoy the sights and sounds of  a classic, bustling, authentic Spanish city.
 

Car Hire Tips in Alicante

  • A car is definitely recommended if you are staying on the outskirts of Alicante. We would argue that it is essential if you are travelling further afield to the likes of Benidorm, Valencia or the Mar Menor and want to truly make the most of your stay
  • Car hire is available from Alicante Airport and some of the companies include Europcar, Goldcar, Enterprise, Centauro and Thrifty
  • Because there are a lot of car hire companies competing for your custom (and they know that many tourists come back to Alicante every year), you can usually find excellent rates on your car hire.
