Coming for a visit in July and need advice on car hire please

Hello, we are coming to La Marina for a visit in July and we are a family of 11 and will be needing to hire a vehicle that is big enough for all of us. Previously we have had mini buses in different parts of Spain but this is our first time to the area and whilst I can look up the hire firms close to Alicante I was wondering if anyone could perhaps suggest a company or point me in the right direction or even warn me where to avoid. We are all looking forward to coming out as the area looks great! We range in ages from 6 to 76 and like to travel all in one vehicle where possible. Thanks in advance !!!

you may want to try Kill Kenny,....don't be put off by the name..., he has a mini bus to hire at very reasonable rates, and I'm sure someone on here will be able to provide you with his number, if you book the mini bus for a full week I think he also includes airport transfers for free.
If nobody has his number I will post it on here later on once I have spoken to my friend who has got it.

We use these guys http://www.arguscarhire.com/?clientID=557721&ktrack=777c4529-cfe0-6d28-cafa-0000742de2c1&gclid=CK6o8-jYlr0CFQXlwgodqgQAAA
For the past year, they use all the main car rental companies based at the Airport.
Much cheaper and puts you in a bigger vehicle for the same money

Thank you for the info and for taking the time to post it... I've booked with Ken and now can relax and not have to worry about transport

Great,...I'm glad your sorted!! I was having a little trouble getting Kenny's number,....but then my amigo friendly Viking saved the day. I never thought about asking you friendly Viking,...how bazar,...as I see you most days it never dawned on me that you would have it...lol

As I said I am truly grateful.... it's saved me such a worry as this was a kind of 'last minute' decision and I know how difficult it is to get the bigger vehicles. We can't wait to come out and I may even have a few more questions before then!!!!! Thanks again x

Does anyone know if Ken Austin 'KillKenny' is still operating the mini bus hire please. I have a booking with him for next week but haven't heard form him since June and I have been trying to reach him. I am getting really worried now as we are arriving next week and had booked transport for 11 of us with a car and minibus. Any news/info greatly appreciated - thank you in advance

Just gotten hold of Ken and all seems ok ..... isn't it marvellous how life turns around in a split second!!! Looking forward to this time next week and being in the sun and not having these dark grey clouds in the sky.. literally!!!
