Alicante Airport (ALC)

At Alicante the damage deposit is often the smaller number. The fuel amount attached to full-to-empty style policies is what most travellers actually see blocked on their card.

What your card can face at ALC

General guidance for Alicante Airport. Exact conditions depend on the supplier and vehicle you select and must be checked on the final offer before booking.

Damage deposit

An amount blocked on the main driver's card at pick-up as security against damage, released after return. The amount is set by the supplier and the product you select.

Excess

The maximum you can be charged for damage or theft. It is a separate figure from the deposit, and a low or zero deposit does not remove your contractual liability.

Fuel hold

Full-to-empty style policies normally charge or block a tank up front; full-to-full policies may block a refundable fuel amount. Verify the exact fuel amount on the final offer and voucher.

Toll hold

An electronic toll device can carry its own hold or charge, settled against actual usage. It is separate from the damage deposit and the fuel amount, and depends on the selected product and current supplier terms.

Payment card

Accepted card types and cardholder requirements vary by supplier and product. Verify the payment-card section of the final offer and voucher.

Why €0 is not “nothing held”

A zero damage deposit covers the damage hold only. Fuel, tolls, extras, cross-border use, fines and late return can still be blocked or charged.
