Car hire at Valencia Airport

The car hire desks are easy to find by following the signs at the airport. Most companies are located in Terminal 1, on the ground floor level. Meet and Greet services will meet you in the arrivals lobby. Be sure to give them your flight details when you book.

The mileage policy for each company or car may be different. Some have unlimited mileage, while others have a daily limit. If you rent a car with a daily limit, it is a good idea to take pictures of the daily mileage or keep a log of each day's mileage, in case there is a dispute. Likewise, the fuel policy may be different from the standard full-to- full policy. If you don't follow the fuel policy, surcharges will apply. When you arrive at your car, make sure the description matches, with all the damage indicated on the form you receive. If you see damage not indicated on the form, or the car has some defects, report it immediately. Lastly, remember to familiarise yourself with the car.

Valencia is a popular airport, and is especially busy in summer. The best time to pick up a car is when the company’s office opens and return it before closing time. To avoid queues and save time, look for companies who offer pre-registration. If you are travelling in a group, just have the main driver collect the car. When you have an out-of-hours collection or drop off, follow the instructions given by the company.

While each company has their own requirements, we can remind you of the basic documents you can't travel without. When you collect a car, you need to present proof of identification (normally a passport), a valid driver's licence for each nominated driver, a credit card with a limit that can cover the deposit and excess. If you need to, you may use two credit cards. Don't forget your booking form or proof of reservation.

Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Valencia Airport to off-airport locations include Ace, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Centauro, CLICK RENT , Dickmanns, Dollar, DRIVALIA , and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
