All-inclusive car rental in Alicante

In short

Alicante is the gateway to the Costa Blanca, and an all-inclusive rental gives you full insurance with zero excess to reach Benidorm, Calpe and the inland villages with no surprises.

Alicante sits at the centre of the Costa Blanca, with quick motorway access north to Benidorm and Calpe and south to Torrevieja. A car opens up the whole coast plus inland gems like Guadalest and the wine town of Jumilla.

A Cardamar all-inclusive rental includes comprehensive zero-excess cover, unlimited mileage and free cancellation, with pick-up in the city or at Alicante-Elche Airport.

Exploring the Costa Blanca by car

The AP-7 motorway and the slower, scenic N-332 run the length of the Costa Blanca. Benidorm is about 45 minutes north, Calpe with its iconic rock a little further, and Torrevieja sits to the south.

Inland, the mountain village of Guadalest is a classic half-day drive. A zero-excess rental removes the worry of narrow village lanes and busy summer car parks.

Practical tips

Summer traffic along the coast peaks in July and August; travelling early in the day avoids the worst of it. Child seats and extra drivers can be added when you book.

The all-inclusive price already includes airport fees and taxes, so the figure you see at booking is what you pay.

Alicante car rental - FAQ

Is Benidorm easy to reach from Alicante?

Yes - roughly 45 minutes north on the AP-7. A car also makes day trips to Guadalest and the inland villages easy.

Is zero-excess cover worth it on the Costa Blanca?

Yes - busy resort car parks and narrow old-town streets make minor damage likely, and zero excess means you are not liable for it.

Can I rent without a credit card in Alicante?

At selected pick-up points, yes - with no deposit either. The booking flow shows the available payment methods for your location.
