Hello to everyone, does anyone know of a place to hire a car, that is not a crazy price, I am getting quotes of £450 upwards for 12 days.

Try Magnum or Lara cars.

Off airport operators but pick the car up at airport.

Firefly all the way.

Office at Alicante airport is right 100 metres from the departure exit. Prices are great in the winter months, a little higher in the summer months.

Car stocks are scarce now they say & depends when you’re travelling too but the main ones at the Airport will skin you. Worth trying Edi, Lara, Wiber etc if they have cars

A small local independent guy called Steve Hicks rents older cars which is more than reflected in his very reasonable prices and he’s very reliable. He doesn’t do airport delivery, but would pick you up and drop you off at the airport. He was charging €50 each way. We hired a car in December and he was still charging €10 a day, so even with the airport transfer charges, he should work out much cheaper.

If you’re interested, best to contact quickly as he has a limited supply of vehicles and it’s first come first served.

As I said though, they will be much older cars.

Had a look they want about £400 for 10 days way to much, thank you for advice.
