Decent car hire companies at Alicante airport?

I normally go to Malaga and have a reliable car hire company that I always use. They only charge for half a tank of petrol and are very reasonably priced and I am looking for a similar company based at Alicante airport.
There are many companies now that rip you off by charging you over the odds for a full tank of petrol etc and I want to avoid places like this.
Any ideas?

Most of them supply with a full tank I'm afraid
I always used Victoria Car Hire

When we go to Alicante we always use Coys Rent a Car, they are one of the cheapest we have found. As for fuel they put in 12 euros of fuel and bring back empty. A representarive meets you from your flight and takes you to the car.

last time I hired a car from Hertz in Alicante, I had asked for Nissan Micra, but was given 3.0 litre Renault Laguna.....nice car, but it has fuel tank that would have Donald Trump baulking at the cost of filling it.

I'm with Rimini, I always found Coys Cars to be the best, much more of an individual service than the 'big' companies

I use Argus Car Hire ... they are excellent and cheap, with good cars. I had a brand new one last month to use for my drive from Alicante airport to Altea, for the whole week. Charged for half tank petrol ...
