Anywhere Campers AlicanteAlicanteView map
Hiring a campervan in Alicante opens up the Costa Blanca, one of the sunniest coasts in Spain: the coves of Xàbia, the Peñón de Ifach rock at Calp, the white lanes of Altea and, inland, the hilltop village of Guadalest. Further south, Murcia, Cartagena, the Cabo de Gata natural park and Andalusia are just a few stages away. 3 partner companies offer campervans, converted vans and motorhomes from the city: Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express and McRent.
With Alicante-Elche airport on the city's doorstep and the Mediterranean motorway running along the whole coast, it is just as easy to head north to Valencia as south to Almería.

- Alicante
- Villajoyosa
- Altea
- Calp
- Xàbia
- Dénia
- Guadalest
- Alicante
Head north on the N-332 road: the colourful houses of Villajoyosa, the old town of Altea, then Calp and the Peñón de Ifach rock towering over the harbour. Xàbia offers Cape la Nao and the coves of La Granadella, Dénia its castle and the Montgó massif. The return inland goes through Guadalest, perched on its rocky spur, on a winding road where a campervan is more at ease.

2 From Murcia to Cabo de Gata, all the way to Almería
- Alicante
- Elche
- Murcia
- Cartagena
- Águilas
- Mojácar
- Cabo de Gata
- Almería
Heading south, the palm grove of Elche comes before Murcia and its cathedral, then Cartagena, its Roman theatre and the Mar Menor lagoon. The coast of Mazarrón and Águilas leads to the white village of Mojácar and the Cabo de Gata natural park, with its volcanoes and the wild beaches of San José. Almería, another departure city of our partners, lets you finish one way.

3 Granada and inland Andalusia
- Alicante
- Lorca
- Guadix
- Granada
- Alpujarras
- Alicante
Taking the motorway west, the fortress of Lorca opens the road to Guadix and its cave houses, then to Granada and the Alhambra, which must be booked well in advance. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada, the white villages of the Alpujarras cling to the slopes. A mountain and heritage loop, with long motorway stretches that also suit the largest motorhomes.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Alicante?
Best time
Spring and early autumn
March to June, September to October
highs 19 to 28 °C, lows 11 to 21 °C
The best times to set off from Alicante: warm days without excess, free-flowing Costa Blanca roads and Andalusian sites that are pleasant to visit. In September and October the sea is still warm for swimming; March and September can, however, bring occasional heavy downpours on the coast.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 30 °C, lows 23 to 24 °C
High summer: almost no rain, a very warm sea and nights that stay mild, making air conditioning or a shaded pitch valuable. The Costa Blanca resorts are packed; the hinterland around Guadalest or the heights of the Sierra Nevada offer some cooler air.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 17 to 20 °C, lows 8 to 13 °C
Alicante's winter is one of the mildest in Europe, with sunny days ideal for walks along the coast. It is the peak season for overwintering: many motorhome travellers from the north of the continent settle for weeks on the Costa Blanca and in Murcia. Nights stay cool, so a heated vehicle is useful.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Pick-up in Alicante or El Altet
McRent hands over its vehicles in El Altet, on the N-332 road towards Cartagena, right next to the airport. Anywhere Campers and Autocaravan Express welcome you in Alicante itself: the exact address and appointment time are in your booking confirmation.
Park without camping
In Spain, a motorhome may park like a car wherever this is allowed, but putting out chairs, an awning or levelling blocks counts as camping, which is banned outside designated places. On the Costa Blanca, Altea, Calp and Dénia also restrict motorhome parking by local by-law: follow the local signs.
AP-7 and A-7 heading north and south
The AP-7 motorway has been toll-free between Alicante and Valencia since its concession ended. To the south, some sections towards Cartagena and Andalusia are still tolled, but the free A-7 follows the same route. For the Costa Blanca, the slower N-332 road runs right along the sea.
Low-emission zones
Large Spanish cities, including Alicante, Elche, Murcia and Valencia, are introducing low-emission zones based on the DGT environmental sticker. Check with the rental company that the vehicle has one and look up each city's rules before driving into the centre.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Alicante
Where can I pick up a campervan in Alicante?
Three partner companies have a depot: McRent in El Altet, on the N-332 near Alicante-Elche airport, and Anywhere Campers and Autocaravan Express in Alicante. Each sets its own pick-up and return times; the address and appointment are given in the confirmation sent after booking.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Alicante?
Across 106 offers from three companies, our searches in October 2026 found prices from €75 per day, mandatory fees included, for a campervan in January. In July, expect from €137 for a campervan or low-profile motorhome and from €178 for a large motorhome. Run a search with your dates to get bookable prices.
Can I return the vehicle in another city?
Our partners also have depots in Elche, Murcia, Cartagena, Valencia and Almería: a one-way trip to Valencia along the coast or towards Andalusia is therefore possible. A one-way fee may apply; it is included in the displayed price as soon as you enter the return city when searching.
Which vehicle should I choose from Alicante?
For two, a compact camper van such as the Carado CV-540 slips easily through the villages of the Costa Blanca and remains the cheapest option. Families will find Carado T-449 low-profile motorhomes with four berths or Adria Matrix models with five berths, more comfortable for a long tour of Andalusia. Large models are hard to park in old Altea or Xàbia: aim for campsites on the outskirts.
Can I take the motorhome to the Balearic Islands?
The port of Dénia, about a hundred kilometres north, links Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca, and Valencia also serves the islands. Many rental companies forbid sea crossings or require their written consent, and the insurance may not cover the ferry: ask before booking your crossing.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Alicante
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Spain?
A European category B licence is enough for campervans, converted vans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes. A licence issued outside the European Union may need to be accompanied by an international driving permit. The minimum age and years of driving required vary by rental company and are shown in each offer's conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome on the Costa Blanca?
Campsites and motorhome areas, with waste disposal and electricity, line the coast from Dénia to Torrevieja and down to the Mar Menor; many are open all year. In the Cabo de Gata natural park, overnight parking outside designated places is banned: plan a campsite in or around San José.
Is mileage unlimited?
Yes for all the offers observed in our searches in Alicante, which suits long tours to Granada or Almería well. Conditions still depend on the rental company and the length of hire: check them on each offer before booking, especially for a one-way trip.
How much is the excess?
The median excess of the offers observed in Alicante is €900. This is the amount you remain liable for in case of damage, often blocked on a credit card at pick-up. Some rental companies offer additional insurance to reduce it: its price appears in the offer's options.
How do I get to the depots from Alicante-Elche airport?
The airport is in El Altet, south of the city: the McRent depot is in the same locality, a few minutes away by taxi. For the depots in Alicante, a bus links the terminal to the city centre. Tell the rental company your landing time so the vehicle handover appointment can be adjusted.
When should I book a campervan in Alicante?
Several months ahead for a departure in July or August, when offers are fewer and prices highest. Winter also draws many long-stay travellers: book early for a rental of several weeks. In spring and autumn, a few weeks' notice is usually enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Alicante
Alicante brings together very varied landscapes from a single starting point: the capes and coves of the Costa Blanca to the north, the lagoons and volcanoes of Murcia and Almería to the south, the Andalusian mountains to the west. Distances are short and roads are good, so you can mix beaches, hilltop villages and great art cities in the same week.
Three partner companies offer vehicles ranging from compact camper vans to large motorhomes, with prices observed from €75 per day in October 2026 and unlimited mileage in all the offers seen. Valencia, Murcia, Cartagena and Almería, other departure cities of our partners, open up one-way trips along the Mediterranean. And with a pleasant climate from February to December, Alicante suits a motorhome trip almost all year round.
