KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Torrevieja
- There’s no better way to explore the Mediterranean city of Torrevieja than with a hire car. Not only do you get the freedom and flexibility to do things on your own terms, but the rest of its surrounding areas are easily accessible too. Once you’ve spent a day or two relaxing on Torrevieja’s golden beaches and learned about its salt mining history at the Museo del Mar y de la Sal, you can drive along the Costa Blanca and uncover hidden bays. Roughly 10min by car is the Lagunas de la Mata-Torrevieja Nature Park, which has unique trails around its pink and green salt lakes. The beautiful city of Murcia can be reached in under an hour, or you can take the 2h 30min trip up the coast and experience the hustle and bustle of Valencia.
- The nearest airport to Torrevieja is Alicante International Airport, which is around 45 km (28 miles) away. There, you can find a wide selection of premium car hire companies to choose from, including Europcar, ixt, Hertz and Avis. All hire desks are located in the arrivals area of the airport and you’ll be behind the wheel of your Torrevieja car hire in no time. Exit the airport and take the N-332 south all the way to Torrevieja. The journey takes around 45min.
- Driving in Torrevieja can be a bit of a challenge in the height of the summer season. Roads are narrow and busy with tourist drivers and locals alike. There are also a lot of single lane one-way streets in the built-up areas of the city. You may find adding a sat-nav to your car hire in Torrevieja particularly helpful, even if you are familiar with driving there. The outer roads are wide and well-maintained. Remember to drive on the right side of the road and pay extra attention at roundabouts, which are especially common and often lead to confusion among tourists driving on Spanish roads.
- Rush hour in and around Torrevieja tends to occur within four time-frames due to the Spanish siesta. Generally, it’s between the hours of 08:00-09:30, 12:30-14:00, 15:30-17:00 and 18:30-20:30. The period around 15:00-17:00 is usually the quietest. The N-332 is liable to heavy amounts of traffic and has lots of roundabouts, so if you’re not such a confident driver, it may be better to use the AP-7 to and from the airport. It’ll come as no surprise that the weather in Torrevieja is hot. A car with air-conditioning is essential and you should carry water in your vehicle at all times.
- Book your rental car in Torrevieja at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Torrevieja are around 86% cheaper than other car types, on average
