I have been using Lara Cars several times per year for many years now and would never consider other car rental companies on the Costa Blanca unless Lara had no availability which, by booking early, I invariably ensure they have. Before I discovered Lara I really ran the gauntlet of some pretty unscrupulous, hard selling and yes - even downright dishonest companies. Like some airlines, their price started out looking very attractive then the add-ons started. Insurance was another really dodgy area - pay through the nose or make sure you photographed the car when you got it - they would often attribute any existing damage to you - yes they really were that bad. LARA ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT. The price they quote is the price you pay, no ifs or buts. They also do not load your price for additional drivers, child seats, fully comp insurance, which gives you full cover (apart from lost keys, tyre damage, incorrect fuelling and any motoring fines) and they don't con you on fuel. Their price quotation is totally transparent and there are no nasty surprises when you pick up your car. I estimate I personally have had at least 24 rentals over the last six to seven years with them. I've never (touch wood!) had a bad car - they have always been newer models and clean. I have never had a representative fail to be waiting for me bang on time at the airport or leave me stranded if my flight was delayed. And they are always pleasant, friendly, patient, (I'm elderly) and very helpful. I'm just about to book a car for April this year and will be doing so with absolute confidence. In conclusion. Be very wary of seemingly cheap companies - especially the big ones! and never ever avail yourself of offers that have you indemnify yourself separately with other insurers against excess to get around taking out the extortionate full insurance offered by the the big companies. I speak from a very unpleasant experience there. Renting a car in Spain can be a very upsetting experience - that is why I choose Lara every time.

We were met at the airport exactly where all the email info said our rep would be ,We were handed the keys to a great little 208 Peugeot, No fuss at all , Dropped it back off on the 5th floor , Left the passenger window open just enough to put the keys through and went home .It cost us about £180 for 7 days in Alicante ,We travelled about 1000 km with no problems at all . Would highly recommend to anyone travelling in Spain , They are much better than all the other car hire companies we have used in Spain .

Geen lange wachtrijen, wagen staat klaar op luchthaven, verzorgde wagens. Geen gesjoemel met extra verzekering, alles is in de prijs inbegrepen. Nederlandstalig personeel aanwezig. Correcte prijzen. Volgende keer terug Laracars

After years hiring cars from just about every other company at Alicante airport I'd become accustomed to getting fleeced with extra insurance, dodgy smallprint etc .LaraCars were a breath of fresh-air. Easy collection and return...no bulls**t or hidden costs...I will use every time in the future.

Very good company to deal with. Straight forward process with no hidden costs. Met at the airport, escorted to the car and advised on return process and left the airport 10 minutes later. Easy return process also, leaving car at same general carpark with no need to meet anyone. Would use this company again next time.

1st time to Alicante and based on reviews read for Lara Cars booked a hire car for 2 weeks. The whole experience was quick and painless. Met at the airport and shown to the car. No hard sell extra cover...just pay and go. Instructions to return are very clear and no waiting about to return keys. Will definitely be using again.

I have used Lara cars 3 times now and they will always be my first choice. They offer good value, good customer service and the cars are well maintained. The rental process is easy and hassle free

Alhoewel ik al dan lof over Lara rental heb gehoord e gelezen moet het mij van het hart dat als je ouder bent dan 75 je bij Lara geen auto kunt huren, dat noemen wij DISCRIMINATIE en is wettelijk strafbaar, dus Lara snel u verhuur belijd veranderen.

cannot thank Lara Cars enough , from the pick up process , very pleasant employee greeted us and took us to the car explained everything, very simple here's the keys tank quarter full bring back empty, no need to take photos of the condition of the car you are fully covered insurance wise for everything apart from tyre damage . Great car for the 5 of us . Return was a little difficult as you have to return to the 5th floor of the car park so you must go into parking building 1, from there really easy drop off - thank you so much Lara cars we will use again and recommend without hesitation.

Wij hebben afgelopen week een auto gehuurd bij Lara Cars. Hele vriendelijke man, snelle afhandeling en heel belangrijk een hele fijne auto. Echt een aanrader ! Gaan zeker nog eens huren als wij Alicante bezoeken.

Good rate, no hidden charges or hard sale for extra insurance, the price they quote is the price you pay, new car delivered to arrivals car park and the drop off at arrivals car park. No waiting around.

Absolutely fantastic service! this will be the third time hiring a car from lara cars and as always such an easy and professional service! As anyone with small kids knows the hassle with hiring a car with all the kids seats, waiting and stress of the flight lara cars always has the car ready and waiting for us at the airport. What they say is what you get, a straight forward, cheap, no hassle service with no hidden crap like the rest of the rental companies. Would especially reccomend if traveling with kids!

This rental company is great. The cars are good, included within the price is additional driver and car seats for kids which is great. Dont get lured in by the cheap rates the usual companies offer online then start trying to add on expensive waivers and damage costs. Lara cars is simple and you dont get stung. They also meet you on level 4 at the airport, so no big ques and trying to haggle in Spanish. We are using them twice more this year as they were so good for families......

Had a great vacation in Spain with a rented car from Lara cars. Everything went very smoothly and I am very happy with my experience. When I landed in Alicante a staff member was waiting for me with the car keys and showed me to the car. I paid for the car on the spot and drove away with a good feeling towards the company. The car was everything I expected and I was very happy with it. When I returned the car I parked it at the airport and left the keys where they could pick it up later. There was no wait in pick up or drop off. I really recommend this company and I will rent a car from them again next year.

Simplest and quickest airport pickup and drop-off. Pickup was dead easy. Rep met us at the car park entrance and took us straight to the car where we paid for the car and sighned the contract. Drop-off was even easier, left the car in the public car park and just locked the keys in the boot. Car was clean and the price one of the lowest at Alicante Airport. In summary, great service and value.

I have used Lara Cars on a few occasions. Not the the cheapest but certainly hassle free all in and simple and very friendly. When it's 41 degrees and you have luggage in tow all you want is quick and and simple and that's what they do best. Get what you pay for no rip offs in and out in less than 5 minutes. Reliable, what more do you want!
