About Renting a Car at Center
Altea is a picturesque coastal town on the Costa Blanca, located 12 km north of Benidorm and 60 km northeast of Alicante Airport. With a rental car from the city center company, you can easily explore the entire Costa Blanca, from Calpe (15 km) to Dénia (35 km). Altea's old town with its blue-domed church is one of the region's most photographed sights.
Altea center is located directly by the sea with N-332 running along the coast. The AP-7 motorway is reached in 5 minutes and takes you quickly to Valencia (150 km, about 1.5 hours) or Murcia (130 km). Park on the outskirts of the old town – the streets in the center are narrow and difficult to navigate.
Drive north to Peñón de Ifach in Calpe, just 15 km away, for unforgettable cliff views. Book a car in advance during summer as demand is high with only one rental company in the center. How far is it from Altea to Alicante Airport?
