Spain is one of the few European countries that has attracted more and more tourists for many decades. And this is not surprising, because this country has a very deep history. A lot of attractions, monuments, museums and even resort beaches - this is what is relevant today in Spain. In order to evaluate the country from all sides, it is not enough to go on two excursions in one of Madrid.
To see this country as it is, you need to visit the deepest towns, villages and megacities. This will help you rent a car in Spain. Reviews of experienced tourists constantly note the deep mistake of all novice travelers - the rejection of such a service and the purchase of tickets for bus tours. However, even for a taxi you will spend a lot more money than gasoline for your temporary car.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Spain?
Prices, at first glance, really “bite” - for 10-12 days of travel you will have to pay about 350 euros (taking into account the cost of insurance and gasoline), and for this amount you will get an economy compact sedan. However, during your days here you can travel all over Spain and go where the foot of an ordinary tourist has not gone before. So you will learn about ordinary rural life, visit pristine beaches and see many, many other interesting things.
In continuation of the conversation about the price, it should be noted that the spread in prestige and cost of cars is quite high. For example, a luxury car rental in Spain will cost at least 100 euros per day (depending on the make and model of vehicle). For budget tourists, there are services of temporary use of cheap cars at a price of 13 euros per day. The word “cheap” does not mean the rental of 20-year-old “exhibits”, as is the case in the CIS countries. In Europe, all companies, even beginners, acquire a new fleet of vehicles, so the average age of a rented vehicle is no more than 2-3 years.
What is needed in order to order such a service?
Car rental in Spain, or rather, the process of registration, is as follows. About a day in advance, you should prepare a passport, driver’s license and medical certificate. Then you can safely go to the company and draw up documents. Be sure to order insurance. The best option, according to experienced travelers, is the Relax policy. Although it costs an order of magnitude more, it covers the full cost of damage after an accident and a number of other troubles. No problems with the court and damages.
Rules of conduct on the road
In another country, completely different laws apply. And let the rules of the road are similar in all countries of the world, you should remember a few nuances before traveling. In Spain, it is forbidden to talk on a cell phone while driving (with the exception of the use of a special “hands-free” headset), otherwise it’s fine.
The use of horn
sound signals within the city limits and demonstration of other obscene gestures to other participants will also cost you a pretty penny. Therefore, remember these details and never get into ridiculous situations.
