Car rental in Alicante

On the east coast of Spain and part of the Costa Blanca, Alicante is the second largest city in the Valencia region and is well suited to car rental holidays. Your car rental adventure can begin with a tour of the coast, taking in some spectacular scenery, vibrant towns and many sandy beaches.

The lively resort towns of Benidorm and Torrevieja accompany Alicante on the coast, and both are easily accessible with car rental. Benidorm is particularly popular with UK tourists, who come to enjoy the sandy beaches, restaurants, clubs and entertainment. Torrevieja used to be a small fishing village, but has grown into a major holiday resort, bustling with nightlife, bars and restaurants. Car rental is your best option for reaching them from Alicante.

Just 11 miles south of Alicante is the Island of Tabarca. There is a ferry to the island so car rental won't be needed to experience this fascinating outpost. Once a refuge for Berber pirates, King Carlos III ordered an impressive fortress to be built on Tabarca in 1760. The island will provide a memorable day trip.

The Valencia Region is known as the 'Garden of Spain', and is the beautiful landscape of flowers that once inspired the famous local painter Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida. Car rental will help you experience this unique natural environment at your leisure. If you venture further afield, you will reach some picturesque coastal towns and the city of Valencia itself. To complete your holiday, we also recommend car rental for a journey to the historic town of Castellon.
