Planning a Torrevieja Car Hire

Travel around Costa Blanca in style. When you land in Spain, you’ll find many modes of transportation available to you. The most convenient and flexible way to travel is by car. This allows you to travel wherever you’d like, whenever you’d like. Also, there’s no waiting for public transportation if you have your own car.

There are plenty of places to rent a car, from Alicante to Benidorm. You can also consider a Torrevieja car hire. It’s a good idea to reserve your car ahead of time to ensure you’ll have one waiting for you when you arrive. You may get a better deal if you book the car as part of your air and hotel vacation package.

Booking a Car

Your first stop in booking a car should be the internet. There are nine choices of car hire companies at the Alicante airport, and twenty in Benidorm, so you should weigh all your options before you go. Online, you’ll be able to compare the companies in terms of daily rates, weekly rates, cars offered, and additional fees. At first glance, a price may seem reasonable, but when costs like insurance, child safety seats, taxes and gasoline are included, it might not appear so reasonable after all.

You may also find a deal by calling the car hire company directly as well. Sometimes you’ll find sales that are not advertised on the internet. Conversely, you might also find sales on the internet that aren’t available upon calling the company directly. Be sure to do your research in advance to secure the best rate.

Other Car Hire Considerations

What size car do you need? The smaller the car you rent, the lower the price. Consider the number of people that will be traveling in it. Also, an important consideration (and one that’s often forgotten) is luggage. How many bags will you be bringing? A car you think might fit your needs sometimes becomes too small when you take the fact that you need extra room for your baggage into account.

Economy cars are the most popular rental. If you reserve one, you may able to upgrade upon your arrival, should you decide you need more room. The inventory of economy cars is exhausted faster than any other size. If you rent an economy size, and there are none available when you arrive, many times you’ll receive a complimentary upgrade to the next largest size available.

Consider how long you’ll need the car. Many times it makes more sense to book a weekly rental. You might save by reserving a weekly rental, and returning the car early.

By doing your homework and reading the fine print, you’ll be able to confidently make a car hire decision.
