To rent a car in Spain, you usually need the following documents: a valid driver's license (an international driving permit may be required if your license is not European), a passport or ID card, and a credit card in the driver's name. The minimum driver age is usually 21, but some companies may require 23 or 25. A deposit will be blocked on your credit card and may vary depending on the type of car and insurance coverage. Make sure you have sufficient free credit limit on your card.
When renting a car, you will be offered various types of insurance. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) covers damage to the car resulting from a collision. Theft insurance protects against car loss. 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 contract.
Spain has toll roads (autopistas and autovías). Payment is made in cash or by credit card at toll booths. Parking in cities may be paid, especially in the center. Pay attention to road signs and parking rules. The speed limit on highways is usually 120 km/h, and in built-up areas – 50 km/h.
