To rent a car, you will need a valid driver's license (international if your license is not European), a passport, and a credit card in the driver's name. The minimum age for rental is usually 21, but some companies may require 23 or 25. Additional fees may apply for young drivers. A deposit will likely be taken upon receiving the car, which will be returned after returning the car undamaged. Most major credit cards are accepted, but check the specific company's terms and conditions.
When renting a car, you will be offered various types of insurance. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) covers damage to the car in the event of an accident. Theft insurance protects against loss of the vehicle. Pay attention to the excess amount – this is the amount you will have to pay yourself in case of damage or theft. You can reduce the excess by purchasing additional insurance, but this will increase the rental cost. Read the insurance terms carefully before signing the agreement.
In Spain, traffic is on the right. Some roads have toll sections (toll roads). Parking in cities can be difficult, especially in the center. The speed on highways is usually limited to 120 km/h, on ordinary roads – 90 km/h, and in populated areas – 50 km/h. Be careful of signs and follow traffic rules.
