Car rental at Alicante (ALC): common questions
Where do you pick up a rental car at Alicante (ALC)?
All rental desks sit in the arrivals hall; Record Go, Sixt and Goldcar line one side, Centauro and Europcar the other, with Avis, OK Mobility and Hertz-Firefly across in the car park opposite. From the desk you cross to the multi-storey garage either via a walkway one floor up or a tunnel at street level. Easter and summer peaks sell out the cheapest categories weeks in advance.
When is the cheapest time to book a rental car at ALC?
Prices at ALC move week to week, so there is no fixed answer. As a rule, booking two to three weeks ahead beats the walk-up rate, and midweek pickups are usually cheaper than weekend ones. Compare your exact dates above before you commit.
Do I need to watch out for tolls driving from Alicante?
The AP-7 is toll-free along most of the Costa Blanca since the 2020 nationalisation, but the southern stretch from Alicante past Torrevieja toward Murcia and Cartagena still charges at manned booths, cash or card, no transponder required. Drive on the right; roundabouts dominate junctions on the N-332 coast road through Benidorm and Torrevieja, and old-town Alicante parking is tight and mostly paid.
Which car type should I rent at ALC?
For city trips a compact or economy car is usually enough and cheapest. If you are heading to Benidorm or Torrevieja, size up for the luggage and distance. Compare the rate per car type above before deciding.
Does it cost more to book through CarPriceRadar than going direct?
No. You pay the same price the rental company lists either way. If you book through one of our partner links they pay us a commission, not you, and that is what funds the price tracking.
