Calpe
No international desks in town, but there is a long-established local company with a real office and delivery to both Alicante and Valencia airports. It is the only town on this coast with a published price list.
What it costs
Indicative price per day. The exact amount depends on the dates and the length of the rental: short rentals and last-minute bookings cost more.

Good to know
- Parking in Calpe’s blue and orange zones has been free for everyone since 2025 — a rarity on this coast (about 2,000 spaces, longer hours in summer).
- The nearby AP-7 is toll-free; the paid sections start much further south.
- The town itself is compact, but villas and apartments are scattered across the hills — without a car it is awkward if you are not staying in the centre.
Rental terms in Spain
- The deposit (fianza) is blocked on a credit card: usually €800–2,000 depending on the class. Major chains often refuse debit cards. Buying out the excess at the desk costs €15–30 a day; a third-party policy bought in advance is cheaper.
- Minimum age is typically 21 with at least a year of driving experience. Drivers under 25 pay a young-driver fee of €10–25 a day, and some classes are off limits to them entirely.
- Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are parties to the Vienna Convention, as is Spain, so national licences are legally valid. But they are in Cyrillic, and in practice both rental desks and traffic police expect an International Driving Permit alongside the national one — bring it.
- Choose full-to-full: pick the car up with a full tank, return it full. Full-to-empty schemes almost always mean overpaying. Refuel within 10–15 km of the drop-off and photograph the dashboard and the receipt.
- Add a second driver when booking: at the desk it runs from €2 a day with some companies to €12 with others. The desk is also where you will be offered “super insurance” at a higher price than the same cover bought online.
- The AP-7 along the whole Costa Blanca and up to Valencia is currently toll-free, including the Alicante ring road. Paid sections remain only south of Crevillente.
