Alcoy Car Hire - Guide To Renting or Hiring a Car in Alcoy (Alcoi)
HIRING A CAR IN ALCOY
Hiring a car in Alcoy is essential because of the lack of public transport unless you get a taxi from either Valencia airport or Alicante airport and stay near the centre of Alcoy. In this case you wouldn't need to hire a car in Alcoy because it is a large town with a population of over 60,000 and so is full of everything you would need such as shops and restaurants all within walking distance.
If you are coming on holiday to Alcoy you will probably be arriving into Alicante airport where there are of course many car hire companies both local Spanish companies and major international car hire companies.
In Alcoy itself there are a number of local Spanish car hire companies, some are based only in Alcoy and some are national Spanish car hire companies with branches in many towns in Spain.
We recommend hiring a car in Alcoy so you can take some trips outside of Alcoy and discover the many other sights and attractions of the Costa Blanca. Please note that Alcoy is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy rural tourism - if you want to be near beaches then Alcoy is not for you as it is approximately 50 km to the Costa Blanca coast.

USEFUL TIPS FOR ALCOY CAR HIRE
These are a few things you should know before you hire a car in Alcoy:
* What's included in the Alcoy car hire price and what ISN'T included. You can come across some very cheap Alcoy car hire prices but they often won't include unlimited mileage, local taxes or insurances.
* When you hire a car or rent a car in Alcoy always check whether the car has air-conditioning - especially if you are hiring a car in summer.
* Book ahead. Alcoy is very busy in the summer and Alcoy car hire companies will often run out of cars for hire. You also tend to get a better Alcoy car hire rate by booking in advance.

* Child seats. Many Alcoy car hire companies do not always have these available - out tip is to take your own - you simply check-it in at the airport with your luggage and you will save on your Alcoy car hire bill.
* When hiring a car in Alcoy check that what you have booked you receive when you are at the offices of the Alcoy car hire company. Do all of this before you sign all the paperwork. Make sure you take any car hire print-outs you have so if there are any problems you have it all in writing.
* Check your Alcoy car hire for damage. When you've got to your Alcoy car hire you naturally just want to get going but make sure the car hire in Alcoy company acknowledge any bumps and scrapes already on the car.
* Petrol. Make sure your Alcoy car hire uses diesel not four-star petrol as it is much cheaper to buy diesel in Alcoy.
