Car rental is a nice option for moving around this beautiful country. It´s very easy to rent a car in Spain.

The advantage of using a car is that you can move around from Costa Blanca to Costa Del Sol without having to worry about the expensive costs of using a taxi or the discomfort of public transport. You can also use the car for going from the city center to the airport once you are leaving the city, as car rental companies operate also within the airport.

With the current recession, car hire companies in Spain are not renewing their fleets; therefore during the busy months there is a shortage of hire cars, and unless you book as early as possible, they can sometimes cost twice as much as normal.  As soon as you know what your travel arrangements are, reserve your car to get the best possible price.

There are big multinationals like Hertz , Avis, Budget , etc.  You can also use a brokerage site, to help consolidate your search:
