How do I choose the right car model?

The second most important issue when renting a car at Alicante Airport is choosing the right model. Whether you are looking for a small car, a spacious minivan for your family, a car with automatic transmission or something elegant, the filter system will help you to choose the right model for your car rental and the system will automatically filter the necessary models.

How to rent a car in Alicante with no deposit and full insurance cover?

We advise you to pay your attention to the special offers section. Here you will find a number of unique offers for car hire at Alicante Airport, such as ‘Rent a car without deposit’, ‘All inclusive’, ‘Additional driver free of charge’, ‘Online Check in’, ‘Rent with full insurance coverage’ and more.

Let's go through each of them and explain what each one means

We will only explain the meaning of each of the points, as when you book a car hire at Alicante Airport, we already offer only unique offers with full insurance cover and no deposit, this type of rental is also called All Inclusive, which means that when you pay for the rental, you pay the final price, which includes all aspects. Booking a fully covered car hire at Alicante Airport is the perfect solution for travellers looking to explore this picturesque Spanish city and its surroundings. As rental professionals with over 10 years of experience, we understand the importance of choosing your cover and a full package is the best solution.

Unlimited mileage

- a convenient filter for those who are looking for rental offers with no restrictions on travelling. By selecting this filter you will get special offers without kilometre limits. However, if the limit is not important for you, be careful when choosing offers with restrictions, as each exceeded kilometre is paid for separately, and some suppliers even prohibit exceeding the limit.

Rent a car in Alicante without deposit

As we have already said, absolutely all rental offers in our catalogue in Alicante are without deposit, but we will consider this filter in case in the future our offers will be expanded and we will offer you more price-effective offers with deposit offers. By selecting this filter, our system will filter out ‘Final Price’ offers for you, which means that when you receive your car, you will not incur additional costs in the form of blocked funds on your card or the presence of a deposit or deductible.

Additional driver free of charge

A useful filter for those who are planning to travel long distances from Alicante for example, or if you simply need more than one driver for the car hire period. The maximum number of additional cars is usually 3. Please note that if you choose this filter, this option is free for one additional driver only, all subsequent drivers will be charged according to the price table in our option selection system. Also by the word free, it is taken into account that the additional driver is already 25 years old and his driving experience corresponds to the requirement of the hirer regarding the class of the rented car (usually driving experience varies from 1 to 2 years).

Online Check in when booking a car at Alicante Airport. What is it?

A handy filter for those who are used to getting a car almost immediately after arrival. What does it mean? You will be sent a registration form a few days before the start of the rental, by filling it in you automatically and in advance provide the hirer with all the data to prepare the rental contract for your arrival at Alicante airport. This feature has been gaining popularity since 2021 in our catalogue and allows the customer to receive the car as soon as possible upon arrival. You simply sign the completed contract and receive the keys to the car. No queues.

Rent a car at Alicante airport with full coverage. What does this mean and what does this option include?

This filter is called ‘Full Coverage Included’ in the filter system and provides protection against unexpected expenses. Full coverage includes damage, theft and liability protection. This means you can safely go on adventures without worrying about potential financial losses.

All inclusive

Absolutely complete package when hiring a car in Alicante. What is the difference between it and packages such as full coverage or no deposit, for example? In our catalogue we have offers that include both full coverage and no deposit, but have mileage restrictions for example. This package also includes a ‘Meet and Greet’ option, which means that on arrival at Alicante airport, you will be met directly at the departure area by friendly staff with your hire car. All you have to do is sign the contract and start your journey directly from the Alicante airport grounds

With the filter system sorted out, let's move on to the additional options and how to use them. When travelling with children, or a couple, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors that will ensure the comfort and safety of your journey. For example, children under the age of 12 need a specialised seat for travelling in a hire car. We detail in the description of options the type of child seat required, according to the height, weight and age of the small passenger. The option is paid, but as a rule it is limited by the number of days, which means that when you book a car for a month, you pay only for the maximum number of days, for example only for 10 days, the rest of the days are already included in the price and you do not have to pay for them. The system calculates the price for the specified number of days of car rental in Alicante, so you do not need to get a calculator, just check the total cost.

Additional driver option - by selecting this option, please note that in the last registration form, additional fields will appear so that you can provide elementary data for the second and subsequent drivers ordered. If these fields do not appear, it means that these data will have to be provided on the spot, when picking up the car.

What else should I look out for when booking a car online?

We specify absolutely everything in the car card, so all the data in the card is absolutely clickable and you can see the type of fuel, gearbox, order and place of pick-up at Alicante airport, as well as the terms and conditions of the hirer. There are 2 pick-up locations at the airport: This is the lowest floor, via the shuttle from stops 1 - 5 or in the departure area, opposite the Starbucks cafe. This is indicated under ‘Pick-up’ on the car card at the online booking stage.

Also pay attention to the fuel policy section, it may vary depending on the terms and conditions of the hirer. As a rule it is equal compensation - what does it mean? You will be provided with a car with a certain amount of fuel. It will be fixed in the rental contract, with the same amount you should return the car. Please note that the missing fuel must be compensated in cash according to the prices of local petrol stations. We recommend returning the car with the identical amount of fuel, as in some cases the compensation service is subject to an additional fee from the hirer. please note that the all-inclusive package does not include the cost of the missing fuel when renting.

Fuel policy Full / Full or Full / Empty - what does it mean?

When you hover or click on the Fuel Policy item, a pop-up window will show you that the car will be presented full, but you can return it with any amount of fuel, even empty. This means that upon receipt of the car, you will have to pay the cost of a full tank of fuel, the amount of this payment depends on the class of the car and will be announced upon receipt (usually from 60 - 140 euros). You can return the car under this fuel policy as you wish, either full, partially fuelled or empty. You will be reimbursed for the amount of fuel you leave in the tank. This fuel policy is designed solely for the comfort of the customer and not for commercial purposes and its cost is calculated on the basis of market prices for the fuel used in the car.
