The service is called AutoExpreso from Renfe. There are actually only five routes in all of Spain offering this service of which one is Madrid-Alicante. Prices vary from 74 € to 84 €, depending on the size of the vehicle.

There are several advantages to this service such as: Enjoyment of the train ride; knowing that once at your destination you will have your own car to get around in; your car can be used as storage for your luggage, allowing you to travel light.

Although there is a fee for this service, it would pay for itself with the savings on taxis or rental cars. Taking into account the average cost of renting a mid-size car in Alicante is around 200 € a week,  this service would be about 40% cheaper. It also saves the time and hassle of pick up and drop of… as easy as having your own car.

Any other advantages? Yes! The time and peace of mind. The Madrid-Alicante roadway is quite good but on holidays and key dates traffic often piles up getting out of Madrid and arriving in Alicante. To be able to travel peacefully on a train, not having to deal with the traffic jams and road cuts is a treat. The new Altarias make the trip in three and a half hours, offer wider seats, better illuminated carriages, better cafeteria services and entertainment, making them an interesting option. Oh! and if you have a motorcycle you can also use their equivalent service called MotoExpreso.
