Enterprise is cheapest at Cartagena Airport for a Compact car, averaging £55 a day over the last 12 months from 950 prices, but you need a credit card for its £265 deposit. Enterprise's desk is at the airport, and Enterprise does not yet have enough reviews for a score, so check recent feedback before choosing. Alamo averages £56 a day for a Compact car over the same period from 1,163 prices, £1 more a day, with a £265 deposit and a 30-minute desk wait. Alamo also does not yet have enough reviews for a score, so that small price increase does not buy a scored alternative.
