Alicante Airport Car Hire and Reasons For Renting an Alicante Car Hire

      Alicante airport car hire is very easy to organize and yet is going to be an essential part of your journey. You will find the car rental desks in front of you as you come into the arrivals hall, just after you have picked up your luggage. Once you've picked up your vehicle keys and gone through all the paperwork you should exit the airport and you will find the car rental parking bays directly across from the main entrance. Many people visit Alicante every year most of them coming through the provincial airport or to one of the airports in the neighboring provinces. There has been an airport in the province for a number of decades and the modern airport is growing exponentially with the increase in tourists visiting the area. In this article I'm going to show you how to get the best out of your Alicante airport car hire and some tips on securing the best price.

Reasons for Renting an Alicante Car Hire
As I said previously, it is very important to you to rent a car when you are visiting the province of Alicante. There is so much to see and do in Costa Blanca and unfortunately once you leave the confines of the larger cities such as the capital, Benidorm, Elche, Orihuela, or Calpe, you are going to find it very difficult to get any public transportation. The province is fairly large and the list of activities and things to do is enough to fill the average fortnight's holiday ten times over.
   You will see and do a large huge amount without renting an automobile by just staying in the city such as the beautiful beaches and boulevards but you would also be leaving so much on the table, this is because much of the value in the Costa Blanca is only accessible by car.
The main car-rental companies at Alicante airport include Avis, Europa, Record, Hertz, Sol Mar, Auriga, Atesa, Europcar, and Centauro. 
                                                                                                                                   

Tips on getting the best value from your Car Hire
• Always book your car in advance. There are over 50 different companies that are competing for your car hire in Alicante. The difference between one company and another company in terms of pricing could be as much as twice the price. So it really will benefit you if you take the time while you are in the comfort of your own home to search through the different rental websites. There are also travel supermarkets which will give you a list of special deals and prices.
• Always check the small print. You have chosen your car type, length of stay, and you realize that you've got a great price. It's only after you've gone through all the details of logging your information and inputting your credit card details that you find out there are hidden costs, such as ridiculously high excess insurance pricing or charges for additional drivers etc (most companies here will not charge you for adding one additional driver).
• Always get a car with air conditioning when you are coming to Alicante. This is especially true during the summer months because of the weather can be extremely hot. You will find that most of the vehicles that are available will have air conditioning as a standard feature but you can never be too careful, there is still the odd chancer who will try to palm you off with an extra charge for air conditioning.
