Can't recommend any specific companies, but when I was looking at comparision websites, generally they stated what the policy was. Not all of them work on that basis, but as we were doing plenty of miles, it wasn't a big issue for us.

The norm in Spain is to pick up full, for which you pay an inflated price, and return it empty. Obviously not everyone will use a full tank, and most will always return it with at least some fuel in it, so it's a win win situation for the hire company. travel packages to greece Fortunately, not everyone operates this scam, there are a few decent hire companies still out there. Can't help with Alicante, but I've been using the same company travel packages to greece from Málaga for years, pick it up about half full, bring it back the same.
If you use www.carjet.com they list all the suppliers who have a car available for the dates you need, and there is an info button next to each quote - click that and you can find the fuel policy for that supplier, e.g. full/full or full/empty
Hertz operate a full to full policy and state that their charge for the full tank is competitive with local prices. Get an idea of local prices per litre if poss and also the size of the tank on the car you want to hire, then you can check their prices are in fact competitive.

Either they are saying that if you don't bring it back full then they will charge a reasonable price for the top up or they are going to charge you for a full tank at the start and then expect you to fill it up when you return it - which means you have paid twice

The norm from Alicante is pick up car with full tank return it empty (or lose the cost of any remaining petrol). travel packages to greece We don't mind this as we do a lot of miles and don't usually want the hassle of finding a garage at a strange airport when you are going to catch a flight ( although Alicante airport is not that strange to us any more)

I only wish it were true. However I normally can arrange travel packages to greece to leave less than a quarter of a tank and given all the other costs the residual petrol loss ends up a minor contributor, particularly if the rental company doesn't rip you off quite as much on petrol prices. However I'm not advising you to do what I do. If you wish to seek out a car rental company that provides a full tank and requires a full tank on return then that is your prerogative. By the way having twice turned the wrong way out of Alicante airport travel packages to greece ( in about 80 visits) I must have spent a tenner in petrol trying to turn around to get back to where I wanted to be.
