Drivalia Car Rental

It has been a very busy summer for the Drivalia team.

At the end of July we took delivery of 100 brand new Peugeot 208s, the HDi diesel version. This brought our vehicle complement to 963 and re-confirmed our commitment to providing our customers with one of the youngest fleets in Spain. When you hire a car from Drivalia we guarantee it will be younger than 24 months.

August saw the launch of our brand new website at Drivalia.com and we are devoting more time to our Facebook page to keep in touch with our customers. During the coming months we will be working on some special offers for our Facebook fans so do pop over and “Like” us if you haven’t already.

Please let us know what more we can do to provide you with an even better car rental service from Alicante Airport.
