When travelling to Spain or any of its towns for the first time, selecting a car hire maybe an unfamiliar task. Besides public transportation modes such as buses, trains and even taxis, a car rental is the way to travel in the country and most parts of Europe. It combines the best of both worlds. A car rental will allow small groups of four people (or larger groups if the correct vehicle is selected) to travel on their own terms and choose where to go, what paths to take and when without the need to wait for another bus, train or other people. It may be significantly costlier than buses or trains but more practical than a taxi cab. Choosing the right car rental allows tourists to travel freely and comfortably within the limits of Spanish traffic laws.

There are numerous ways of obtaining a car rental. Much like how accommodations and flight reservations work, a reservation for a car rental can be made in person or online. The nearest airport to the city of Alicante is the El Atlet Airport, located only 11 kilometers away from the centre of the city. Just beyond the bus stops and taxi terminals of the airport are the nine car rental companies situated side by side. This makes it easier for travelers to select directly from the companies available at the airport and make reservations. Afterwards, the vehicle can be picked up from the same area for use to drive around the city or province. When travelers are ready to return, they can just drop it off at the same area of the airport. Being located outside the restricted area of the airport, it allows tourists to come back in case they forget anything else, like keys or luggage.

Past the airport parking, there are nine car rental companies stationed at the Alicante Airport. These are the Solmar, Centauro, Auriga, Avis, Atesa. Record, Europcar and Hertz. Although their location by the airport ensures added convenience for tourists who have never experienced hiring a car before, it is suggested that tourists make preparations and reservations months prior to the trip in order to take advantage of deals. This is most especially important when travelling during the summer months or the peak seasons of the year. It is during this time when there is a possibility of running out of certain package deals or vehicles. Tourists are advised to make the preliminary research and reservations online to be aware of the various rates available between the car rental companies.

With selecting a car rental from the airport, tourists get to save on the initial mileage. Other rental companies charge extra for the mileage in delivering the vehicle to the airport.
