Driving in Alicante: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need a valid licence and a passport.
To rent a car in Alicante, bring a valid driving licence. If it’s not in English or Spanish, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is advised. Car hire companies also require a passport and credit card.
Navigating city driving
Driving in Alicante involves narrow old-town roads.
Alicante’s old town has tight streets and restricted zones. Use Google Maps or Waze to avoid one-way streets and vehicle access limits. Driving in Alicante is easier outside the city centre and along coastal roads.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Some highways, like the AP-7, have tolls.
Alicante has a Low Emission Zone (LEZ), but it is not currently enforced for most vehicles. Check your rental agreement for toll payment methods or included tags.
Parking your car in Alicante
Parking is restricted in central areas.
Parking in Alicante city centre can be tricky. Blue zones require payment, and orange zones are for residents. Look for multi-storey car parks or hotel parking near popular spots like the marina or old town.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel stations are common; EV charging is growing.
Petrol stations are easy to find around Alicante. EV charging stations are expanding, particularly near shopping centres and car parks. Use apps like PlugShare or Electromaps to locate real-time charging availability in the city.
Local driving style and tips
Traffic can build up during peak times.
Roads in Alicante are generally well signed, but busy routes and roundabouts may require quick decisions. Follow speed limits, stop at zebra crossings, and be aware that cameras are used in the city and on major roads.
