Frequently Asked Questions | FAQ's

1. Do I need an international driver's permit to rent a car in Alicante?

No, you do not necessarily need an international driver's permit if you are from the EU. A valid driving license from your home country is usually sufficient. However, travelers from outside the EU are often required to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside their valid national driving license. Always check with the rental company for their specific requirements before arrival.

2. What is the minimum age for renting a car in Alicante?

The minimum age to rent a car in Alicante is typically 21 years. However, some rental companies may only rent to drivers who are 23 years or older, and there may be additional fees or insurance costs for drivers under 25. Be sure to check the age policy of the rental company beforehand.

3. Is it necessary to have car rental insurance in Alicante?

Yes, having car rental insurance is necessary and is usually included in the cost of the rental. The basic insurance generally covers damage to the vehicle and theft protection. However, you may be offered or required to purchase additional insurance coverage for personal injury or reduced deductibles. Review the terms of your rental agreement for insurance details.

4. Can I rent a car with an automatic transmission in Alicante?

Yes, many car rental companies in Alicante offer vehicles with an automatic transmission. However, they are often less common and more expensive than manual vehicles. It's recommended to book in advance to ensure availability.

5. Are there any specific documents I need to bring when renting a car in Alicante?

Yes, you will need to bring the following documents:

  • Valid driver’s license from your country of residence (and an International Driving Permit if required).
  • Valid identification, such as a passport.
  • Credit card in the name of the main driver for the security deposit.
  • Booking confirmation details, if you have reserved the car in advance.

6. What should I do if I have an accident or incident with my rental car?

In the event of an accident or incident, firstly ensure the safety of yourself and passengers. Then, follow these steps:

  • Inform the police if necessary and obtain a police report.
  • Notify the car rental company as soon as possible.
  • Do not admit liability or make any agreements with third parties.
  • Collect evidence, such as photos of the damage and the accident scene, and details of any witnesses.
Follow the rental company's procedure for accidents/incidents, which is typically provided with your rental documentation.

7. What are the fuel policies for car rentals in Alicante?

The most common fuel policy is "full-to-full," meaning you'll pick up the car with a full tank of fuel and are expected to return it with a full tank. Failing to return the car with a full tank may result in additional charges. Some companies offer a "pre-purchase" option where you buy the initial tank and can return the vehicle empty. Always check the fuel policy before renting.

8. Can I rent a car in Alicante and travel with it to other countries?

Car rental companies in Alicante may allow cross-border travel, but this must be pre-arranged and may incur additional fees and insurance requirements. Some countries may be restricted, so it's essential to verify with the car rental agency their specific policies regarding international travel with their vehicles.

9. How do I find the best car rental deals in Alicante?

To find the best car rental deals in Alicante, you should:

  • Compare prices and offers from different rental agencies online.
  • Book your vehicle well in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.
  • Look for special discounts, promotional codes, or membership deals.
  • Opt for longer rental periods, which often provide a lower daily rate.
  • Check if your credit card or travel insurance already covers rental car insurance to avoid redundant fees.

10. What are the driving rules that I should be aware of when driving a rental car in Alicante?

Here are some key driving rules to keep in mind when driving in Alicante:

  • Drive on the right side of the road and overtake on the left.
  • Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers.
  • The use of mobile phones while driving is strictly prohibited unless you have a hands-free system.
  • The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.5 grams per liter, less for novice drivers.
  • Adhere to speed limits: 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on local roads, 100 km/h on major roads, and 120 km/h on highways.
  • Carry all required documents with you at all times (driver's license, IDP if required, insurance documentation, and rental agreement).
Always familiarize yourself with local traffic laws before driving in a new region.
