Car Hire Altea

The city of Altea is located in one of the most touristic places in Spain. Surrounded by cities such as Calpe, Alfaz de Pi, Jalón, Benissa and La Nucia, it has grown considerably since the 1960s.

Its attraction as a small typically Mediterranean town, which benefits from a climate that is usually very mild throughout the year, and its proximity to coves, beaches, and mountain areas, make its offer for tourism one of the most desired. The only thing against it is that, especially during the hot month of August, the high level of humidity in the atmosphere can be added to the heat, generating what are known as tropical nights, which make it more difficult to rest.

Altea has been the usual destination for a large number of artists, which has given it a certain distinctive sign, and has helped to attract, at least in part, a slightly more elitist type of tourist.

The combination of the traditional town, with the modern area, has also contributed to maintain a certain romantic air but without losing the advantages of our time.

From Alicante airport, entry point for many tourists in the province of Alicante, to Altea we are about 50 minutes away by car. This first route is only the first one that is usually done by those who spend their holidays in this town.
From almost any accommodation in Altea, it is not necessary to use the car to reach the beach as this town runs parallel to the sea and does not go inland. However, if we want to visit other beaches and discover some of the wonderful coves that the coast of Alicante has, there will be no choice but to use some kind of transport.
It is necessary to bear in mind that Altea has an older zone in which it is going to have complicated to park. Perhaps, for shorter journeys, we could advise you to use a motorbike, which you can also rent from us. Therefore, a combination of a motorbike and car rental can be an ideal solution in this case.
