Altea Car Hire – Premium Cars Delivered to Old Town and Villas

Altea is one of the most beautiful towns on Costa Blanca — famous for its white houses, blue-domed church, artistic streets, peaceful beaches, and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. The town is spread across hills, from the seafront promenade to the elevated Old Town, with many viewpoints offering stunning sea panoramas. Renting a car makes exploring Altea and the surrounding coastline easy, especially if you’re staying in the higher parts of the town or planning day trips to nearby areas like Calpe, Albir, and Benidorm or La Nucía.

Why Rent a Car in Altea?

Altea is calm, scenic, and spread across different levels. Walking is enjoyable but not always practical, particularly for families, long-stay visitors, or guests staying uphill.

Enjoy Altea and the whole coast

With a rental car, you can easily reach:

• Altea Old Town
• Mirador viewpoints across the upper town
• Albir (5 minutes)
• Calpe (15 minutes)
• Benidorm (10 minutes)
• Villajoyosa (20 minutes)

This section of Costa Blanca includes some of the region’s most scenic coastline. The route between Altea and Calpe appears in several travel guides, including recommendations in Best Coastal Drives in Spain, thanks to its cliffs, hidden coves, and sea viewpoints.

Perfect for reaching Altea’s small beaches

Many of Altea’s quiet coves — such as Cap Negret, La Olla, and Mascarat — are difficult to reach without a car. These beaches are among the highlights featured in our article Hidden Beaches Along the Coast Only Locals Know, making a rental car the easiest way to visit them comfortably.
