24 Apr - 8 MayIf you’re looking for car hire in Spain, you should be well aware of several unique laws to abide by whilst driving. For travellers headed on a beach holiday, beware of parking on sand. Significant parking fines can be handed out for parking on any areas under environmental protection. Fines are also handed out for driving shirtless, bare foot or in sandals, as well as not having both hands on the wheel. Another rule is that you can be fined for driving with one hand or arm outside the car. Use of the car horn should also be limited to emergencies, or else you face a fine. Another unusual law is that you must not drive in the left-hand lane or middle lane if the right-hand lane is free. This can incur a steep penalty. Unlike some European countries, all roads in Spain have a speed limit.
Car hire in Spain requires the driver to be at least 21 years old, and certain companies or cars are restricted to those age 23 and older. Most often you’ll have to pay a daily surcharge if you’re under 25, in addition to the cost of the car. Drivers age 65 and up also sometimes require additional insurance which can be purchased from the rental company. Anyone who wants to rent a car in Spain will need a full driver’s license, a passport and a credit card. Any paperwork that comes with your rental car, such as the agreement, insurance and registration documents, must be kept with you at all times.
If you’ll be driving rental cars in Spain, you might want to be aware of which cities and regions have the most traffic. Barcelona is the place you’ll most likely be sitting in traffic jams if you’re driving through it. Granada ranks almost equal in terms of amounts of traffic. Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Valencia also rate as fairly congested. All of these cities tend to get particularly busy in the warmer months. Both Barcelona and Granada offer excellent public transport options, which often run late into the night. In Barcelona you can opt for the metro, bus or tram, and in addition there are funicular trains and cable cars, which connect the city to various tourist attractions such as beaches, or the Castell which offers panoramic city views. Granada has a widespread bus system, as well as a touristic train. In Tenerife, you can use the public bus system, as well as the TRANVIA metro between Santa Cruz and La Laguna. Valencia has a first-rate public transport system. One of the easiest options is to buy the passes available for 24, 48 or 72 hours; these give access to the bus, metro and tram networks.
For anyone using car rental in Spain to explore the country, there are vast amounts of beautiful routes and interesting landmarks for you to visit. Firstly, decide whether you’d prefer a scenic coastal road or a city tour, as Spain offers something for everyone. For coastal routes, you could choose from the AP-7 highway along the Costa Brava, which takes in the Salvador Dali Museum at Figueres, and Roman remains in Empuries. Alternatively, explore the Basque country with cities like Bilbao and San Sebastian, and smaller seaside towns. The east coast is also a firm favourite, along the AP-7 and A-7 motorways running along the coast from Barcelona to Almeria. The route takes in everything from the Calblanque Regional Park, to the famous Costa Blanca, Spain’s second city Valencia, and countless beaches and fishing villages. Around 20% of Spain’s motorways require toll payments, which can be paid upon arrival at the route.

Spain ranked 11 out of 137 countries across the globe for road quality in 2019. On a scale of 1 to 7, Spain received a road quality score of 5.8. Keep in mind that road quality conditions in Spain can vary depending on what area of the country you plan to visit.
The BAC limit is 2.38 mg/l in Spain - this applies to both visitors and residents. Your BAC level is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in your bloodstream. This information is used to determine how inebriated an individual is. Driving a vehicle with a BAC higher than 2.38 mg/l is against the law in Spain and you will be deemed as ‘driving under the influence’. Keep in mind that you must also be at least 18 years of age to consume alcoholic beverages, and it is not recommended to operate a motor vehicle under the influence.
