Standard sedan car hire in Alicante: what to expect
If you are planning to rent a standard sedan in Alicante, this page covers the two cars we have in that category: the Mercedes CLC200 and the Mercedes Benz C 180. A sedan of this class sits in the comfortable middle ground. It is not a tiny city runabout and not a large premium car, so it copes with most ordinary trips without much fuss.
Who this type of car suits
A standard sedan is a sensible choice for couples, small families and business travellers who want a calm, steady drive. The separate boot keeps luggage out of sight, which many people appreciate when they stop for lunch or a walk along the seafront. It is also generally comfortable on longer motorway stretches.
- Couples and small groups who want room for luggage and a comfortable seat
- Business trips where arriving in a neat, presentable car matters
- Holidaymakers combining beach days with sightseeing
- Drivers who prefer a smooth ride to a compact car’s quick turns
Trips from Alicante by car
Having your own car makes the Costa Blanca much easier to explore. From Alicante you can drive up the coast to Villajoyosa and Benidorm, stop at Altea for its whitewashed old town, or head inland to Guadalest in the mountains. Heading south, Santa Pola and Torrevieja offer long beaches and salt lakes, and Elche, with its palm grove, is only a short drive away. Closer to home, the castle of Santa Bárbara gives a good view over the city and the bay.
Practical tips before you book
Check the driving licence and ID requirements before you travel, and ask the company about insurance, fuel and any other terms, so there are no surprises at pickup. In the centre of Alicante parking can be tight, so decide in advance where the car will stay overnight. On summer weekends the coastal roads get busy, so leave yourself a little extra time.
Renting with us keeps the choice simple. For sedan car hire in Alicante there are just two cars in this class, so you only need to decide between the Mercedes CLC200 and the Mercedes Benz C 180. Get in touch, tell us your plans, and we will help you pick the one that fits your trip.
