Dénia
The town revolves around its ferry port to Ibiza and Formentera, and the rental market follows suit. The main local player has been going for over 30 years and hands over cars at five locations, including Alicante and Valencia airports.
What it costs
There is no public per-class price list for this town: the big companies price dynamically by date. As a Spain-wide benchmark, expect around €90 per day off-peak and around €175 in August.

Good to know
- The Avis desk at the port follows the ferry timetable rather than opening around the clock: if your sailing is at an awkward hour, the RentaCar Denia office is safer — five minutes’ walk from the terminal.
- The AP-7 between Dénia, Gandía and Valencia is toll-free.
- The old town is walkable, but you need a car for the Cap de Sant Antoni, the Las Rotas beaches and the Montgó park.
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.
