🛬Airport – the easiest place to start

When arriving at Alicante Airport, the first question is how to get to your hotel or apartment. Public transport exists, but is limited in evenings and weekends, and taxi prices (especially in high season) can be expensive.

That’s why renting a car directly at the airport is often the best solution: pick up the keys and go. It’s important to book in advance, especially in summer when availability is limited.

🧾Documents and requirements – what you need

If you’re renting a car abroad for the first time, documents may seem confusing. In reality, it’s simple You need:

• A valid driving license (EU licenses are accepted in Spain)

• Passport or ID card

• Some companies require a credit card, but we offer rentals without one

Always check conditions carefully – some companies apply additional fees for young drivers (under 25).

⛽ Where to fuel, how to drive and where to park?

Driving in Spain is convenient – roads are well maintained and driving culture is generally relaxed. Fuel prices are often lower compared to many European countries, especially at stations away from highways.

Parking rules by line color:

• White line – free parking

• Blue line – paid parking (usually daytime)

• Yellow line – parking prohibited

Be careful – fines in Spain are issued quickly and can be significant.

🧭 Where is it worth driving?

With a car, Spain opens up in a completely different way. Within one hour from Alicante you can reach:

• Guadalest – mountain village with museums and panoramic views

• Altea – white houses and artistic charm

• Torrevieja – rfamous pink salt lakes and beaches

• Villajoyosa –colorful houses and chocolate heritage

These are places difficult to reach by bus and expensive by taxi. With a car, trips become simple and spontaneous.

💡 Personal advice

If it’s your first time renting a car in Spain – avoid choosing the absolute cheapest company. Lower prices often mean hidden fees or long waiting times.

Choose a reliable rental provider with transparent conditions for a smooth experience.
