FAQ

1. What is the minimum age to rent a car in Alicante airport?

The minimum age to rent a car in Alicante airport is typically 21 years. Drivers aged 21–24 may face a young driver surcharge of €10–30 per day. Some premium and luxury vehicles require the driver to be at least 25. Always check the specific rental company's age policy before booking.

2. When is the cheapest time to rent a car in Alicante airport?

Car rental prices in Alicante airport are generally lowest during the off-season (November–March for European destinations). Booking 4–8 weeks in advance can also secure significantly lower rates. Avoid major holidays and local events when demand peaks. Comparing prices on Cars Scanner helps find the best deals year-round.

3. What happens if my flight is delayed and the rental office is closed?

Most major rental companies at airports in Spain have extended operating hours or 24-hour counters. If your flight is delayed, contact the rental company as soon as possible. Many offer a grace period of 1–2 hours. If the delay is significant, they can usually reschedule your pick-up to the next day without penalty — just call ahead.

4. When will the security deposit be returned to my card?

The security deposit is typically released within 7–14 business days after you return the car, provided there is no damage. Some banks may take up to 30 days to process the refund. The deposit is a temporary hold on your credit card — the actual amount blocked depends on the vehicle class and insurance coverage chosen.

  • Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers

However, some economy deals may include a daily cap (e.g. 200–300 km/day) with extra charges per kilometre beyond the limit. Always check the mileage policy in your booking confirmation — unlimited mileage offers the best value for longer trips.

Yes, Spain has toll roads on many motorways. Tolls are typically paid at booths or electronically. Costs vary by distance — a cross-country trip can range from €10 to €50+. Some rental cars come with an electronic toll device for a daily fee. Ask your rental company about toll options when picking up the car.

Always inform the rental company of your travel plans to ensure you're fully covered.
