Algeciras Car Hire

Car Hire in Algeciras

A bustling city on the south coast of Spain, Algeciras is the main point of entry for ships travelling between Europe and Africa. Although most travellers simply pass through here without stopping, Algeciras was once a resort city and still has plenty of charming spots to relax and sights to see. If you are exploring southern Spain then a visit is definitely worthwhile, and if you are arriving by cruise ship or a ferry from Africa, you can collect your rental car and set off to explore the Spanish countryside. Auto Europe offers several pick up locations and a large fleet selection, so finding a car rental in Algeciras is both easy and economical.

Travelling in Algeciras with a Car Rental

Algeciras features one of the busiest ports in Europe, and heading down to check it out is a must. With ferries, cruise ships, cargo ships and a huge fishing fleet all using the harbour, there is activity here that is on a level all of its own. The port is great for travellers, as you can park your rental car nearby, and head across on a ferry for a daytrip to Morocco.

During warmer months, the beaches near Algeciras are a great way to cool down and offer travellers lots to do. With scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing and sailing, there are plenty of activities to choose from.

In the surrounding area there are great places to visit also. Drive your rental car north where you have a choice of many great national parks, or head along the coast to the west and visit Tarifa, the most southern point of Western Europe.

Another great daytrip option here is Gibraltar, which is under an hour from Algeciras. Simply head east along the coast and park your hire car in the town of La Linea, from where you can walk across the border to Gibraltar, which has a culture and atmosphere all of its own.
