Car Rental at Alicante Airport

At Alicante Airport we offer a free MEET & GREET or EXPRESS service, which means we deliver and collect the vehicle at a meeting point detailed in the instructions you’ll receive when you book. It is usually at the Departures Express Parking; it is well signposted and easy to find. You’ll receive your rental car in no time, without long waits or shuttle-bus queues. Just identify yourself and, after a brief formality, we’ll hand over your car in a few minutes.

The free cancellation period is 24 hours before the start of the rental.

When you make a booking you reserve the vehicle category, not the exact model. If you have a preference for a model, colour, or fuel type, let us know and we will take it into account; although we will do our best, we cannot guarantee availability at the time of rental.

Payment is made when you collect the vehicle if it has not been made beforehand. You can pay by credit or debit card. The cardholder must be present at the time of payment, although the person who pays does not need to be the driver.

Yes. The amount of the deposit varies depending on the coverage taken out. For airport rentals your deposit will be returned within the next 7 days after the vehicle is returned.

At Malco we are ethical: no nasty surprises and no hidden charges. From the outset we give you the final rental price. If you have coverage with an excess (deductible), when the vehicle is returned with damage you must pay the amount of the excess for repairing our car, provided the damage was not caused by negligence; in that case you would have to pay the full cost of the repair. If a third party is at fault, we will refund the excess as soon as we have confirmation that the other vehicle has accepted liability. If you have coverage without an excess, in the event of damage—even if it is your fault—you do not have to pay for the repair of our car, unless it was caused by negligence and the conditions apply. In no case are the underbody or upper parts of the vehicle, the tyres, or the vehicle interior covered. By negligence we mean improper use of the vehicle, for example entering a very low garage with a high van, driving on a road unsuitable for vehicles, refuelling with the wrong fuel, unlawful driving, loss of keys, etc. In such cases the coverage does not apply and the customer must bear the full cost of repairing the vehicle.

For a one-off rental you will only need an ID card or passport, a driving licence, and a bank card on which the rental and the deposit will be charged and refunded. All documents must be original and valid.

Be at least 21 years old and have held a driving licence for more than one year. If you are 21 to 24 you can drive provided you obtained your licence at least one year before the rental date and you pay the young-driver surcharge. As for maximum age, we have no restriction as long as your licence is valid and you can drive without problems. You must have your ID or passport and a valid driving licence (expired documents are not accepted). You must present the originals of both documents when collecting the vehicle; photocopies or photos are not accepted. If you do not present a driving licence authorised for use in Spain, you will need to present an International Driving Permit together with your original licence.

Only the people listed on the contract may drive the vehicle. Additional drivers can be added, provided MALCO authorises it (this entails an additional charge).

No, our vehicles may only be used within mainland Spain, unless MALCO expressly authorises it.

Except for certain rates, mileage is limited, but we are flexible according to your needs. Tell us roughly how many kilometres you will drive and we will give you the best possible price. Normally our rates include more than enough kilometres.

Full-to-full. Fuel is not included in the rental price. We deliver the car with a full tank and you must return it full as well. If you do not return it full, we will charge the missing fuel plus a refuelling fee.

The vehicle can be returned at any of our offices, provided you inform us in advance. This service carries an extra charge. It is very important that you notify us beforehand so we can give you return instructions depending on the office you choose.

In case of a breakdown, call the roadside assistance number shown in the contract and assistance will come to solve the problem wherever you are. In case of a collision, whether it is your fault or the other driver’s, you must fill out an accident report (DAA); it is very important to do it correctly.

If the fine is issued to you as the driver for speeding or any other infraction you have committed, the fine will be in your name and you must pay it. If the fine is due to a defect of the vehicle such as not having passed the ITV (roadworthiness inspection), the fine will be addressed to the owner of the vehicle, i.e. Malco, and we will take care of it.

Yes, we have both manual and automatic vehicles. When booking you can choose manual or automatic.

Renting a car at Alicante Airport typically costs €25–€65 per day. At MALCO, unlike other rent-a-car companies, the price already includes zero-excess coverage, in addition to other services. Bear in mind that prices also depend on the dates you choose, the number of days, the vehicle model, and how far in advance you book. In addition, car-rental prices are subject to constant market variations, so the quoted price is merely indicative.
