A land of passion and diversity, Spain offers a rich mix of history, culture and natural beauty. From lively city squares to serene beaches, every turn of the wheel leads to new discoveries in this unique country.
Planning to travel from point A to point B, but then don't want to drive back to return the car? With the One Way extra option, you can choose to return the rental car at a different location. For example, you can pick up your car in Valencia, take a beautiful road trip through the interior of Andalusia, and finally return the rental car in Seville.
The road network in Spain is of good quality. There are two types of highways: Autopistas and Autovías. Autopistas are toll motorways and can be recognised by AP or E followed by a road number. Autovías are toll-free motorways and can be recognised by A followed by a road number.
The Small or Economy category is fine if you stay near your hotel and only use the car for short trips to el supermercado or that nice tapas joint. Do you plan to do a lot of mileage? Then some extra legroom is no luxury and a car from the Compact category is recommended. If you want to explore a mountainous area in Spain, it is best to choose a car from the Comfort category or higher, because of its higher power.
Spain is famous for its tapas, paella and sangria. Enjoy these delicacies, but remember: don't drive after drinking alcohol.
