Car Hire in Spain

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

In Spain, car hire options are billed on a daily basis. Renting for over 24 hours will incur a charge for an additional day, so be sure to plan your hire duration to avoid extra costs.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Familiarize yourself with local traffic patterns, peak hours, and driving etiquette to navigate more safely.

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

Make sure you know which type of fuel your rental car uses to avoid costly mistakes at the pump.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.
