An open-top car for the Costa Blanca
Alicante has the light, the sea air and the coastal roads that make a convertible feel like the obvious choice. If you are looking at convertible car hire in Alicante, our standard-class option is the Volkswagen EOS Cabrio. It is currently the only car in this category, so it is worth asking about availability before you settle on your travel dates.
The EOS is a convertible with a folding hard roof. That means it can be an open-air car on a sunny afternoon and an ordinary closed car when the weather turns or when you want some quiet on a long motorway stretch.
Who this car suits
A standard convertible works well for couples, two friends travelling together, or solo drivers who want something with more character than a typical hatchback. It fits a weekend break, an anniversary trip, or a few spare days added to a work visit. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage or a bigger group, think carefully about space, because a convertible with the roof down usually leaves less room in the boot.
Where to drive from Alicante
You do not need a complicated plan. A few easy ideas for a rental convertible in Alicante:
- The coast to the north: head towards Altea and Calpe, where the Peñón de Ifach rock rises straight out of the sea.
- Santa Pola and the southern beaches: a relaxed half-day drive with plenty of places to stop for lunch.
- Inland villages: the hills behind the coast, with Guadalest as a popular stop, bring winding roads and cooler air.
- Elche: its palm grove is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a short drive inland.
- Around the city: a slow evening drive past the Explanada de España seafront, with Santa Bárbara Castle above town.
Practical tips before you book
The sun is stronger than it feels when you are driving with the roof down, even outside summer. Pack sunglasses, a hat and sun cream, and take a water bottle on longer trips. In busy parts of the city, parking can be tight, so it helps to know in advance where you will leave the car. Avoid leaving bags or valuables in view when you step away.
Renting with us is meant to be straightforward. Tell us your dates, ask about the car, and we will confirm what is possible. Read your booking details carefully, and if anything is unclear, ask before you travel rather than after.
