Can anyone tell me if it is possible to hire a car at Alicante airport without a credit card, and recommend a car hire company

Thanks

Very unlikely.  But if they do you will have to purchase their expensive insurance when you pick the car up

My wife and I are moving over to Campoverde in a few weeks. On our previous visits, we have used Centauro who have an office at Alicante airport. If you take out their 'smart insurance', you do pay a little more, but you don't have to leave a deposit or excess on a credit card and can pay with a debit card. Also, you don't have to queue in the main queue and you just drop the car off without anyone going over the car with a magnifying glass looking for scratches as minor damage is covered by the insurance. We've had no problems with them and we'll definitely use then again. Hope this helps.

I would recommend Lara cars, it's all inclusive, you can pay cash and they meet you in arrivals to take you to your car so no queues! Best to have the correct money with you as they don't carry change.

I agree with Andrew, we always use Lara  cars, maybe slightly more expensive but totally stress free.

Drop off is also easy with Lara just park up and lock keys in the boot with parking ticket
