Renting a car in Spain is a very clever choice for tourists. Approximately 10 million people choose to rent a car during their break in the lovely España; and it’s easy to see why when Spain’s main territories are rural and disconnected from public transportation such as metro lines and buses.

Requirements and essentials for car rental

The legal driving age in Spain is 18, but when it comes to renting a car in Spain, you usually have to be at least 22 (25 for specific cars) years old. Do not worry if you are under the age of 22 you can still rent a car, because, it is not illegal for someone under 22 to rent a car in Spain. However, it can be a helluva difficult process and will most certainly cost you a lot more as rental companies see younger drivers as more of a wild risk-takers, therefore young fellas must bring a little more cash with themselves.

In Spain and especially in Catalonia most highways are toll roads, meaning you have to pay additional costs from 0.5 € to 10 € to use them. You can avoid those roads if you want to keep your pocket full, but it is not worth it if you are in a hury, because toll roads provides a much faster transport.

Parking in the biggest cities like in Madrid or in Barcelona is a huge challenge and if you are on a wrong spot, the police will fine you a la Roger Goodell. So it is worth to rent a garage where your vehicle is also more likely to be in safety.

A good advice for y’all: always remember to lock the doors, and do not keep your precious valuable in plain sight, because thieves are eager to steal from foreigners.

Another thing worth consideration is that most cars are equipped with manual transmission. If you would like to ride an automatic one, you are expected to pay more, and you should book it in advance, cos the supply is mostly limited.
