Top tips for hiring a car in Costa Blanca

  • Having a car in Costa Blanca offers the flexibility to explore the region at your own pace. Unlike public transportation's limited schedules, a car allows you to come and go as you please. You can easily visit stunning coastal towns like Altea or Javea, which are not as accessible by bus or train. Additionally, you can venture into the scenic countryside and discover hidden gems like Guadalest or the Algar Waterfalls. Enjoy the freedom to go wherever your heart desires with Costa Blanca car hire.
  • When considering border crossings with a hired car in Costa Blanca, it's important to be aware of certain costs and documentation requirements. While Costa Blanca is in Spain, part of the Schengen Area, neighbouring countries like France and Portugal can be easily accessed without additional border fees. However, if you plan to drive into Andorra or Gibraltar, these territories have different laws and may require specific documents, such as an International Driving Permit.
  • When hiring a car at the airports in Costa Blanca, it's good to know where to find the car hire desks. At Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC), you'll find the car hire offices conveniently located in the Arrivals Hall of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. They are easily accessible upon landing, so you can quickly pick up your hired car and start your adventure. At the smaller Murcia-San Javier Airport (MJV), the car hire desks are also situated in the Arrivals area, making it convenient for you to book and collect your vehicle without any hassle.
  • There are a few things to know when driving around Costa Blanca. Prepare for winding and hilly roads, especially if you're exploring rural areas. Take your time and enjoy the scenic routes, but be cautious and attentive while navigating the twists and turns. Look out for cyclists, as the region is popular among riders. Give them ample space and be patient when overtaking. Finally, remember to use roundabouts, as they are commonly used in this region for traffic flow.
