Sample prices for a 7-day rental. Final price, deposit and terms are confirmed on Localrent.
No-deposit options
About a third of cars in Spain come with no deposit hold at pickup - look for the "No deposit" badge.
Full insurance
Zero-excess cover available on most cars - nothing taken from the deposit if something happens.
Airport & city pickup
Desks at the airport and in the city centre.
Free cancellation
Cancel free on most bookings, often up to 48 hours before pickup.
Most driving from Calpe is short coast-road and motorway runs, with the odd climb inland. Pick by group size and where you are heading, not by looks.
Economy
Cheap to run and the easiest to slot into Calpe's blue-zone parking near the beaches.
Automatic
Easier on the climbs up to Guadalest and the Jalon Valley. Automatics are limited in Spain, so book early.
7-seater & van
For families or two couples sharing, with room for luggage on the run from Alicante airport.
Luxury
For the coast road to Moraira and Javea in something nicer. Deposits run higher on premium groups.
Calpe sits under the Peñon de Ifach, the 332-metre limestone rock that you cannot miss as you arrive. The town itself - the seafront, the old quarter and the two main beaches at La Fossa and Arenal-Bol - is walkable. The real value of car rental in Calpe is everything outside it: the string of coast towns to the north and south, and the mountain villages inland that the buses barely reach.
There is no airport at Calpe. Most people arrive having flown into Alicante (ALC) about an hour south, so a hire car also covers the transfer in and out without paying for a taxi twice.
Payment and deposit
When you book you pay only a small upfront amount - usually 15-20% of the hire cost. The rest is settled at the desk on pickup. The deposit in most cases is fully refundable, and about a third of cars in Spain are handed over with no deposit at all - those are marked in the results. If you only have a debit card, pick a no-deposit rate or a cash-deposit option: nothing gets frozen on your card.
Calpe is roughly in the middle of the northern Costa Blanca, so most drives are short. Altea, with its white old town above the marina, is about 20 minutes south on the N-332. Benidorm is around 25 to 30 minutes further on, for the beaches and the theme parks. Alicante and its castle are about an hour south on the AP-7. Each has its own page.
Inland is where the car earns its keep. Guadalest, the mountain village with the castle, is around 40 minutes west; the Jalon Valley, with its vineyards and the Saturday antiques market, is about half an hour; and Moraira and Javea, the quieter coast towns north of the rock, are 15 to 25 minutes up the coast. The buses to these inland spots are slow and infrequent, which is the case for a car.
Plan where you leave the car before you set off. In summer the streets nearest the beaches and the Peñon become ORA blue zones, where you pay at the meter. There are some larger car parks, but they fill early during the peak summer months, so arrive in the morning to be sure of a space.
For the rock itself, there is a free car park near the visitor centre at the base, though vehicle access can be closed on busy days, leaving roadside parking only. The Arenal-Bol beach car park on the far side of the bay is a reliable fallback, with a flat walk along the promenade to the rock.
Spain's 2022 law requires larger towns to set up low-emission zones (ZBE), and these are spreading along the coast. Non-compliant vehicles can be denied entry to certain central streets and public car parks.
For a hire car this rarely matters. Cars rented in Spain are modern and carry a DGT environmental sticker (0, ECO, C or B), which is what these zones require, so a rental can drive in with no extra paperwork. The fines target older or foreign-plated private cars, not yours. Check the windscreen for the sticker at pickup and photograph it.
Quick checks at pickup
You can collect in Calpe itself or pick up at Alicante airport and drive up. Local names to compare include Goldcar and Centauro. Either way, an no-deposit rate with full cover built in avoids a deposit hold and the upsell at the desk.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (late September into October) are the easiest times to drive here - warm, with quieter roads and parking you can actually find near the beaches. The climb up the Peñon limits visitor numbers in April, May, July and August, so book that slot ahead. July and August are the peak: prices climb, automatics and 7-seaters go first, and the blue-zone parking fills by mid-morning, so book the car several weeks ahead. Winter is the cheapest stretch, and a car still makes sense for the inland villages once the beach season is over.
About an hour, roughly 63 km on the AP-7 motorway.
Many visitors pick the car up at the airport and drive up, then use it for day trips along the Costa Blanca during the week.
There is a free car park near the visitor centre at the base, but vehicle access can be closed on busy days. The Arenal-Bol beach car park across the bay is a reliable fallback, with a flat walk along the promenade to the rock.
Arrive early in summer.
A credit card is not always required - it is needed to hold the security deposit. At pickup the supplier freezes the deposit amount on the card: the money is not charged and is released when you return the car undamaged.
Without a credit card you still have options: choose a cash-payment rate (the «Cash» filter option) or a no-deposit rate, and nothing is held.
The deposit is an amount the rental company holds as a guarantee for the car. Road fines or damage can be deducted from it.
If the car comes back without problems, the deposit is released in full. It is a temporary hold on your card, not a charge.
It depends on the car class and the supplier - you can see the exact amount on each car's card.
You can set a maximum deposit in the filter and the catalogue shows only matching offers. The lower you set it, the fewer cars remain.
Yes. To see cars with no deposit, use the «No deposit» filter option. There are also cars with a small deposit or cash payment.
Note that "no deposit" means no hold at pickup, not no booking payment - a small upfront amount is still taken when you book. If nothing suits, contact our support team.
The deposit is the amount frozen on your card at pickup and released when you return the car undamaged.
The excess is the part of any damage you pay yourself even with insurance - anything above it is covered by the insurer.
In practice, damage is taken from the deposit up to the excess, so the deposit is often set to match it. A full, zero-excess policy removes both: you do not pay for damage and the hold is usually waived.
Cover comes in levels:
You see the available rates on each car's card when booking.
If you would rather not depend on the deposit and excess, choose the full rate.
Yes, some cars can be paid in cash - use the «Cash» filter option.
You pay a small upfront amount by debit or credit card when booking (usually 15-20% of the total), and the rest in cash at pickup.
Yes, paying for the car with cryptocurrency is possible - contact our support team to arrange it.
Cross-border trips must be agreed with the supplier in advance. There may be a small service fee and extra insurance.
To see cars allowed across the border, use the filter option or contact our support team. Do not cross the border undeclared.
Yes. In the search, set a pick-up and a drop-off point - for example collect in Calpe and return in Alicante or Valencia.
By default the car is returned to the same place you collected it.
Most are manual, as across Spain. Automatics cost more and sell out first, especially in summer, so book one early if you need it - it makes the climbs inland to Guadalest and the Jalon Valley easier.
You need a passport, a driving licence and the rental voucher - the voucher can be shown on your phone or tablet.
It states the final price with your chosen options and insurance, so the amount due at the desk will not change.
To hire through our rental companies you need at least 2 years of driving experience.
