Finestrat Car Hire – Premium Car Rental Near Benidorm

Finestrat is a unique destination on the Costa Blanca, split between two very different areas. The traditional mountain village sits inland on the slopes of Puig Campana, while the modern Finestrat / La Cala area is closer to the coast, near Benidorm, shopping centres and main roads.

Because these zones are several kilometres apart, a rental car is the easiest and most practical way to move around. With a car delivered directly to your accommodation, you can enjoy the calm of Finestrat while staying well connected to beaches, Benidorm attractions and scenic mountain routes.

Why Renting a Car in Finestrat Makes Sense

Finestrat is not a walkable town in the traditional sense. The village, the beach area, and Benidorm all serve different purposes and are not well connected on foot.

With a rental car in Finestrat, you can easily reach:

  • Finestrat village and old town streets
  • La Cala / Finestrat beach area
  • Benidorm beaches, restaurants and theme parks
  • Large shopping centres and retail parks
  • Mountain roads towards Puig Campana

Public transport exists, but schedules are limited and routes are indirect. A car turns short drives into simple daily routines instead of planned journeys.

Finestrat Village vs Finestrat Beach Area

Many visitors don’t realise how different the two parts of Finestrat are.

Finestrat Village

Located inland and elevated, the village offers:

  • Traditional streets and local restaurants
  • Quieter atmosphere
  • Mountain views and cooler evenings

It’s ideal for relaxed stays, but you’ll need a car for beaches, supermarkets and larger towns.

Finestrat / La Cala Area

Closer to the coast and Benidorm, this area includes:

  • Modern apartments and urbanisations
  • Easy access to La Cala beach
  • Direct roads to Benidorm and shopping zones

Driving between the village and the beach area usually takes 10–15 minutes, making a car essential.
