CarJet still maintains a local office in Alicante car hire- it's where we grew up to be one of the web's most trusted sources of on-line car hire at Alicante Airport car hire. In that time, we've seen a lot of changes, not least Alicante Airport itself which has recently had a €629m make-over. The new terminal building is simply stunning, argueably "too much of a good thing" for an airport handling 10 million passengers a year and certainly ill-timed, as the new building came on-line in the middle of the worst recession in Spain's recent history.
That said, the investment has forever removed the fear felt by many "Alicantinos" that the airport was a bottle-neck strangling capacity and putting the region at a disadvantge compared to more pro-tourism regions, notably Malaga and Palma de Mallorca Airport.

There are a few capital citites that wouldn't mind an airport like this one!
The expansion of Alicante Airport is a massive investment - it recognises that Alicante Airport car hire is now more important nationally than many "bigger" capital cities - notablly Valencia Airport car hire and Seville Airport car hire. There are a whopping 27km of floor space, so those long lines at the car hire Alicante Airport should be a thing of the past.

The new car hire hall in the arrivals area - Alicante Airport car hire
Car hire is a very lucrative activity for AENA (who own most Spanish airports), it's actually their second source of income after landing fees - if you hire a car at Alicante Airport, around 10% of the car hire price goes back to the airport authority in commission : food for thought?
