Car Hire Spain


Car Hire Spain

Car hire in Spain as well as many other countries has increased at a tremendous rate due to the low cost airlines.

More and more people are turning away from the package holiday and making their own arrangements including car hire in Spain.

Hiring a car in Spain from the numerous airports is extremely easy as their are many diferent companies to choose from.

I personally always book my Car hire in Spain before I fly as it has always worked out cheaper this way.

Wherever your final destination is in Spain car hire will enhance the enjoyment of your holiday.

Car hire Spain gives you the freedom that taxi’s and pubic transport don’t. You can just come and go as you please, I have researched car hire companies and have come up with some astonishing results.

Car hire Spain hire prices vary tremendously, the following are some examples. For the basis of this I have selected a medium range car picked up at Alicante airport for one week in August from Saturday the 6th to Saturday the 13th with two named drivers, the following are the results.

Avis are one of the worlds best known car rental companieas. Readers of the prestigious publication, Business Traveller, have recently voted Avis Best Car Rental Company in Europe and Best Car Rental Company Worldwide.
Their price for this week is £214.00

Easycar

Easycar is one of the easy Group of companies owned by Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the founder of easyJet. In March of last year the company whilst retaining its own corporate operations also started a car rental broker business. It is rapidly becoming a major player in this market and by the end of this year will be represented in 40 countries with 1,400 rental locations and access to a fleet of some 350,000 cars.
Their price for this week is £148.24

Europcar has a wide range of vehicles available for hire in over 118 countries around the world, offering highly competitive prices on car & van rentals to both business and leisure travelers.
Their price for this week is £216.00


Record are one of the biggest car hire Spain companies with a fleet of over 20.000 vehicles and, through the Internet; they work directly with the customer. This translates into a great reduction of the expenses. This reduction is reflected on competitive prices.
Their price for this week is £131.86



As you can see there are tremendous differences in the prices of Alicante car hire. All of the above Alicante car hire prices are on an equal basis, the same size of hire car, two drivers and collision damage waiver cover on the insurance.

Important considerations

Insurance

Check the insurance offered is adequate for your requirements, I always take out full collision damage waiver, the last thing you need is to have to pay a hefty excess fee if you are involved in any accident.

Always check with your Alicante car hire provider what is excluded from your insurance cover, the following are some things that might be excluded from any claim.

Loss or damaged car key or remote locks.

Damage to the lock, upholstery and rear shelf.

Damage or loss of the baby seat or booster seat.

Damage or loss of the antenna, car jack, security triangles, wiper-blades and deposit cap.

Damage to the engine due to negligence, water intakes.

Underside damage.

Misuse of the clutch.

Theft of the vehicle with keys in the starter.

Driving under the effects of the alcohol.

Service

An important consideration with your Spain car hire is the services offered. In the unlikely event of a breakdown you need to know how long it will take for repairs to be carried out or a replacement provided.

All of the car hire Spain companies listed above are large companies so this should not be a problem. There are however many small car hire companies with a small no. of cars and this might cause problems with replacement.
