Before you make your way to the car hire company you're hiring a car from in Spain, you'll need to make sure you meet the basic requirements and have all the documentation you need. You'll need to be over the age of 21 and have held a valid driving licence for at least a year. If you're not an EU driver, it's required by law that you have an international driving permit along with your original driving licence. This doesn't apply to drivers from the UK, though; you will be able to drive in Spain with your driving licence from your home country. Please bear in mind that if you're between the ages of 21 and 24, you'll typically incur an additional young driver surcharge on top of the standard hire fee. Remember to bring your passport, confirmation details and the credit card you used to book online. You cannot hire a car in Spain with a credit card if the card owner isn't present.
In order to ensure your safety and that of others, before picking up your cheap car hire in Spain, familiarise yourself with local driving laws. Stay up to date with the motor vehicle department of the local area to stay apprised of new changes to the law. In Spain, traffic flows on the right-hand side of the road and cars pass on the left-hand side. If you're approaching an intersection, vehicles to the right have priority. The general legal limit for drinking and driving is 0.05% and is heavily enforced; breaking this law could result in large fines, licence suspension or jail time in extreme cases. Wearing a seatbelt is compulsory for the driver and all passengers in the hired car in Spain, even in the back seat. If you don't have a hands-free device setup in your Spanish car hire, avoid using your mobile phone, as it is prohibited. If you're travelling with a child that's shorter than 135 cm or aged 12 or younger, it's prohibited for them to be in the front seat or in the rear seats without being restrained in a child car seat.
Deciding on the best car hire in Spain depends mostly on your needs. Keep in mind that the roads can be narrow and traffic in the cities can be quite congested at times. If you're travelling with fewer passengers, consider hiring a lighter, smaller car for better fuel efficiency. Some of the major cities in Spain, like Madrid and Barcelona, have zero-emission and eco-friendly zones, so you may want to check out which electric cars are available for hire in Spain. If you're travelling with your family, avoid hiring an SUV and rather opt for a larger sedan or station wagon.
