Alicante airport car hire, rental cars in South Costa Blanca

IT'S COMMON FOR VISITORS to the Costa Blanca to arrange car hire as part of their plans for summer holidays or during year-round short stays. In fact, one of the most commonly asked questions in the La Zenia Community Facebook Group is “Where is the best place to hire a car?”

Hiring a car allows visitors to make the most of the local area, leaving holidaymakers with extra time to explore the very best that Orihuela Costa has to offer without relying on public transport.

International visitors typically arrive via the area's two main airports: Alicante-Elche airport, and the Región de Murcia airport which opened in January 2019. Both airports offer a comprehensive suite of choices for renting a car.

Car rental options at Alicante airport include Avis/Budget, Centauro, Europcar, Hertz/Firefly, Goldcar/InterRent, OK Mobility, Record Go, and Sixt. These big brands have a sales office within the main terminal building.
