What insurance should I choose for my car rental from Alicante (ALC-Alicante Intl.)?

It's a smart idea to have a good level of coverage for your rental car to get you out of a sticky situation. That's why Expedia offers collision protection that can be added to your wheels at the time of booking. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and damage caused by collision for up to $35,000 in costs. It also offers round-the-clock emergency assistance and a zero-dollar excess, so you can road trip around with peace of mind.

Can I drive near Alicante (ALC-Alicante Intl.) with my current driver's license?

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Spain, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are: Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent. Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.

9 tips to save on your International Airport car rental near Alicante

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to accommodate additional luggage, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.

Book in advance for some of the best rates: To secure lower rates and a wider selection, it's generally advisable to book your ALC car rental as early as possible. Ideally, make your reservation 1-3 months ahead of time, particularly before peak travel seasons.

Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might have restricted availability. This limitation can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to finalizing your booking.

Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Smaller vehicles like economy or compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a great balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most cost-effective option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.

Know your payment options: Most rental companies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits. Debit cards may not always be accepted.

Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.

Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend significant time on the road, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs on longer journeys.

Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
