Top tips for renting a car in Valencia
- Valencia is a vibrant city boasting numerous beaches, such as Playa de la Patacona, located about 9km east of the city center via Av. del Puerto. To the northwest of the town, along Passeig de l’Albereda highway, you'll find La Ciutat de Les Arts I Les Ciències de València. Here, you’ll enjoy opera concerts, 3-D digital films, and cultural and scientific exhibitions. The best way to explore and appreciate all the city offers is to hire a set of wheels and create a memorable Spanish adventure. Finding reliable cheap car rentals in Valencia is crucial as it is the only way you can access the best car for an easy and exciting travel experience. Some of the cheap car rentals in Valencia include Avis, Ace, Budget, Hertz, Enterprise, and Europcar.
- You might want to book your car in advance if you are planning to save more on your trip to Valencia. Luckily, you can do so and pick up your cheap rental car at Manises Airport from different Valencia car rentals situated on the first floor of the parking area just across the road from the main entrance. You can head to town via A-7 or V-30 main highway. Alternatively, use a traffic-free AP-7 toll route to get to the city center faster. If your pickup station is somewhere in the city, you can take a train from the Metro station, located about 0.2 miles from the airport.
- Valencia is one of the travel destinations where your Valencia car rental size matters. Sure, you need a car large enough to accommodate all your belongings and passengers, especially when traveling in a group. However, you might want to consider the nature of the roads you are traversing, especially if you are planning to drive further away from the city’s outskirts. For example, going for a city safari, touring Albufera natural park, or exploring Calderona mountain ranges may require a 4X4 SUV with high ground clearance. For on-road tours, Valencia has well-maintained roads, and small or midsize cars with enough space for your passengers and luggage will help you navigate the A-3 motorway and other Valencia roads.
- Renting a car is the best way to explore the city of Valencia, which is nestled in the Mediterranean coast of Spain. The local weather is typically warm with little rainfall throughout the whole year, which provides optimal conditions for drivers. Most beautiful local beaches, such as Playa de Malvarossa and Playa de Patacona, are within easy reach, and a car is the perfect option for travelers looking to explore the coastal area outside the city. Other destinations, such as the beach town of Jávea on the Costa Blanca or Buñol (where the La Tomatina festival takes place), are only short rides away from Valencia.
- All the car rental agencies, can be found at Valencia Airport (VLC). The airport, also known as Manises airport, is located 8 km (5 miles) away from the city. The rental car counters can be found on the ground floor of Terminal 1. Both terminals are located in the same main building and are well connected. If you're visiting Valencia during the summer months, make sure you book your rental car in advance as demand is fairly high.
- The city of Valencia itself isn't hard to navigate, but make sure you have some sort of navigation system, as one-way streets are frequent and the medieval street planning can be confusing for tourists. Most autopistas (motorways) in Spain are toll roads, and travelers who don't hold a European Union driver's license must have an international driver's license. Automatic vehicles tend to be more expensive than manual, so if you're not used to driving stick, make sure you sort your rental car out in advance.
- Because of the siesta period (a break when workers take between 2 p.m. and 4-5 p.m.), big cities like Valencia experience four rush hours: 8 to 9:30 a.m., 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., 3:30 to 5 p.m., and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Driving around the coast in the summer months also means more traffic, so avoid the congestion by driving either early in the morning or late in the evening.

Pros:
The car was nice and comfyCons:
The staff at the pick up location was a bit rude and couldn't help us when we wanted to change driver. Maybe it's not her fault but due to the software she was using, who knows.. but apparently she couldn't edit the main driver to be my wife, so we had to cancel the reservation and make a new one on the spot which turned out to be more expensive than what we reserved two days prior that day. I find it ridiculous that we, nor the rental office staff could edit the drivers info to change drivers.. And even more ridiculous that due to this issue we had to cancel our reservation and get a new one that turned out more expensive. Whether this is an issue with kayak or hertz, it is still kayak who wouldn't let me edit the driver though the app. Also as suggestion, you guys should change "Traveler" to "Driver" because travelers does not suggest that this will be the main driver, specially when there's usually more than one traveler4.8 Mediocre
Apr. 2016
Pros:
The car was ok, standard conditions.Cons:
The pick up was slow (we spent about 30 minutes to get the car) and the employee not very nice. She did not even know the promotions of his own company. About Hertz, the service was mediocre. it is already ridiculous that they pretend a credit card (you are renting a car not buying a house). But what is even worst is the fact that the credit card has to be the driver's. What is the logic behind this? The only logic I can see is getting more money from the client, since the additional driver costs about 15 euros p/day. There are many better companies than Hertz which allows to chose the driver independently from who has the credit card.8.0 Very good

There was no ACE Rental Car in the Valencia Airport and the company did not provide any solutions to me. I had to rent a car at the airport counter at a much higher price.4.0 Mediocre
Mar. 2017
Cons:
I arrived at the VLC airport, they did not have an ACE. It took a long time to find someone to redirect us to the company that fulfilled ACE's rentals in VLC. Once we arrived, they did not accept American Express, which was the credit card I used to book, so I had to pay with a Visa and pay for additional car insurance, which is usually handled by AMEX.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Car was in good condition.Cons:
Avis did not have the care we reserved in stock. Instead was given an SUV. The SUV was nice but gas is so expensive in Europe and this SUV was so bad on mileage that it basically cost an additional $50-75 for us to get to where we needed to go. Avis should offer replacement options with similar gas mileage.2.0 Poor
