We always use this company, they are based in El Campello but they meet you at the airport with the vehicle.

Don’t use gold car the reviews are awful!!

Absolutely DO NOT EVER EVEN CONSIDER GOLDCAR. I used them once and they managed to find various ‘damages’ and charged me a refuelling charge even though I had photographic evidence that I returned the car full. About £300 all in. Swines.

Would be grateful for any help on car hire from alicante Airport.

Which company is the cheapest and the reliable?

I carnt believe how much prices for car hiring in alicante Airport has gone up in the past year and a half since I last hired one? 

Any advise or help would be much appreciated 

Many thanks 

Yep, the car hire rates have almost trebled this year, I guess we just have to grin and bear it. I use Centauro, go direct not through a broker, they have free cancellation and their rates are competative when I shop around. I always take the Basic, they will block out €1050.00 on your card as a deposit. For insurance I purchase an annual policy in the UK from Insurance4Carhire. Works for me.

At the moment it's  not a case of who and cheapest. There are very few hire companies with cars available. Tried for October and for 14 days cost was £245, three times more expensive than before the pandemic. Good luck.

We have used Centuro for a number  of years and belong to their Gold Club Never had a problem no hidden charges and hand the keys  back and get refund for full tank within 2 days of leaving the car

We always use, and recommend others to use, Lara Cars. 😎

Easy, reliable and accept cash payment so no credit card left with them where they could charge extras - like some other companies.

Hi there,

Is Lara cars a small independent or will they come up on a search of DoYouSpain, for example?  Our usual provider cant help this time and looking for a reliable company with reasonable rates.  Do you have a website address for them please?  A google search redirected me to Kayak?

Thanks, Julie

They are a small independent company, as are Coys

And Edi

https://www.edirentacar.com/

All 3 are small local companies frequently recommended on this site
