I have had my licence for over a year and I am 18 years old, 19 in July. Looking to hire a car in May. I understand most companies say 21 but does anyone know of one company who may be able to help??

No. To hire a car here in Spain you need to be 21 years old.

Hi I have worked in the car hire business for 7 years now. (alicante area) You might find a local company that will rent you a car (illegaly). As most of the others have said you need ot be over 21. if you do manage to hire a car ( i doubt it) please make sure you read all of the small print and make sure you ask to see what the insurance covers. You might find that the company hire youthe car but then you are not covered at all by the insurance.

I found a car hire search page where you put in your details and it should give you the cheapest company to go with. The lowest age of driver was 21, so I doubt very much that you will be able to hire a car in the UK.

Some rental companies have a min age of 23 as well..so be careful..you also need a credit card, and an international drivers license.. it's not a myth. you can be heavily fined here.
Don't be discouraged if you can't get a car here.. the bus and train service is excellent here and it's really cheap.

In Spain theres a lot of companies to hire cars... but you need to have your license more than five years ago and be able to drive in the European Union... and I think you come from New Zealand so maybe you have problems to hire the car.

No way.
If you listened to the Spanish news, you would not want to.
Even if you could, I would advise against it. Kids are dying daily on the roads here.
Although driving has improved with the recent points on your licence system for misdemenours, many Spaniards still drive like idiots. You really need to be an experienced driver to handle it anyway.

Nobody will rent a car to your for another few years, hon. Sorry, but that's the reality.

Absolutely no. Don't waste your time trying to hide a car under 18 year-old.

No, sorry. No car rental will accept anybody younger than 21.

When you land at Alicante, as you go through to the meeting area, just before there is an area with four different rental companies. Yes there shouldnt be a problem, as long as you have a driving licence.
