Airport Car Rental
Get your rental car at Alicante Airport! Then drive to the city center to take in all the beautiful architecture in Old Town. While you’re there, visit museums like the Archeological Museum of Alicante, the Asegurada Museum of Modern Art, and the Gravina Museum of Fine Arts. Then drive your rental up Benacatil Mountain to the Santa Barbara Castle, built in the 9th century, and enjoy the fantastic views of Alicante and the bay.
But, Alicante is best known for its beautiful beaches. Postiguet Beach is the most famous and offers lots of fun things do. San Juan Beach, a bit farther from the center, is less built up and crowded. If you’re up for an adventure, park your rental at the port and catch a ferry to Tabarca Island. It’s a beautiful place, almost frozen in time. Enjoy the natural beauty but make sure to prepare before you go because there are no ATMs on the island!
Alicante is a great destination, but the surrounding region has even more to offer. So why not get a longer term car rental? You can go north to Barcelona, drive down the Mediterranean coast, or head inland to explore the Spanish countryside. You can even pick up your rental car at Alicante Airport and drop it off in a different city. Start planning your vacation today!
Alicante Airport is also called Alicante-Elche Airport, Aeropuerto de Alicante-Elche, and El Altet.

I travelled north of Alicante to the Jalon valley, the area was very beautiful and offered a much more relaxed trip compared to a seaside resorts.

I would definitely hire again, as the product on offer is good value. However, I would urge other hirers to take time and photos while examining the vehicles before accepting the hire. Also, give yourself plenty of time when returning for a flight; the shuttle is quick, but the waiting times can be long during busy periods.

I have rented many cats from Alicante airport with many providers and have never experienced a problem. I do travel off peak so I cannot speak on busier times of the year. My only disappointment with the latest hire was the overall condition of the car which was badly rented and scratched however it ran perfectly well and was returned without difficulty.
