Traffic Rules

The city follows standard Spanish traffic laws, and the Costa Blanca’s mix of local drivers and tourists creates interesting road dynamics. Get familiar with these key points before renting a car at Alicante Airport:

Right-hand traffic only.
Roundabouts have clear priority: traffic already inside the circle always goes first.
Mobile use is restricted: only hands-free systems are allowed – holding a phone results in a €200 fine and penalty points.
Speed limits apply by road type: 50 km/h in cities, 90 km/h on secondary roads, 100 km/h on dual carriageways, and up to 120 km/h on motorways.
Alcohol limits are strict: 0.05% BAC for experienced drivers and 0.03% for those with under two years on the road.

Parking

Blue zones demand payment – expect €1-2 per hour in the city and coastal resorts, payable through meters or apps like Telpark.

Green stripes are resident-only traps that guarantee €60+ fines, while white lines offer free space (rare near beaches in summer, plentiful in inland towns).

Gas Stations

Most fuel stops remain open longer than in Italy or France, although smaller locations typically close by 9-10 PM and operate on reduced Sunday hours.

Self-service pumps with card readers operate 24/7 at major locations. Diesel costs around €1.40-1.55 per liter, while unleaded costs €1.50-1.65.

Toll Roads

The AP-7 autopista has charges – a trip to Valencia costs around €15-18, depending on exits.

The parallel A-7 autovía runs completely free but adds 20-30 minutes with more traffic, so choose speed and convenience or save your euros.
