Alicante Car Hire – Premium Cars Delivered Across the City
Alicante is a vibrant coastal city known for its long promenades, excellent restaurants, clean beaches, marina views, and the iconic Santa Bárbara Castle rising above the old town. The city is lively and walkable, but having a rental car allows you to explore much more of Costa Blanca without relying on public transport. With delivery directly to your hotel or apartment, you can enjoy the city and still move freely along the coast — from Benidorm to Calpe, Altea, Villajoyosa, and beyond.

Why Rent a Car in Alicante City?
Alicante is a strategic base for exploring both northern and southern Costa Blanca. The city is central, well-connected, and full of things to do — but the biggest advantage of having a rental car is the freedom to discover the coastline on your own schedule.
Explore more than just the city centre
With a rental car, you can:
- Visit quieter beaches outside Postiguet
- Reach viewpoints like Santa Bárbara Castle more easily
- Access shopping zones outside the centre
- Take day trips to Altea, Calpe, Benidorm, or Villajoyosa

Many of the scenic drives from Alicante are featured in our travel guide Driving the Costa Blanca: What to See, Eat & Do, which highlights the coastline’s viewpoints, food stops, and hidden corners.

Ideal starting point for road trips
Alicante sits in the middle of Costa Blanca, which means:
- Northbound → Altea, Calpe, Benidorm
- Southbound → Torrevieja, Murcia, Orihuela Costa
- Inland → wine villages and mountain viewpoints
Everything is within 20–50 minutes by car.
