Have found Europcar quite competitive in recent years. I have also used 'economy car rental' for car hire in Portugal. Cheapest and included no excess. Try them for Alicante, they may operate thier too. Slim
 
Just note goldcar have a return empty policy and may not work directly out of an airport (use of a shuttle bus). I'm not knocking them as there were by far the cheapest for what I wanted, but these little thing may not suit you. In my case they got a 1/3 of a tank off me!! Still I'd use them again based on price...

try http://www.carhire3000.ie (www.carhire3000.ie) - we used them for portugal and found them significantly cheaper.

As an aside - take the basic package off whomever you're renting from and then get a Car Hire Claim Excess Insurance policy from the likes of Axa - we did this - it cost 44 iirc for 1 years policy as opposed to 180 with the car hire company.

Another tip is to buy cheap booster seats in halfords and bring them over if you have children of that age - much cheaper than renting them and quality will be the same.
 
Our family have a place outside Elche so we travel over regularly and always use a company called Aqua car, by far the cheapest and we have used many of the rental companies. Their depot is located a little away from airport but they collect you and bring you over to collect the car and have always found them to be very reliable.
 
Gold cars are the worst car hire company I have ever used - customer service diabolical. I use www.pjsrentacar.com they collect you from the airport and have the car waiting at your destination, insurance is comprehensive and the fuel policy is return it the way you got it so no hidden charges. No affiliation to the company only happy customer.
