Cheap Dollar Car Hire in Jaén

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

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.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Jaén by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Dollar typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Before driving away in Jaén, thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

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