Cheap Alamo Car Hire in Gijón

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Gijón, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
