Insurance and optional extras

Good to know

  • Usually, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in Spain. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just expect some extra rules or charges. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.

  • Add a car seat to your Badalona car hire booking if you're planning to travel with the kids. Guidelines vary from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest way to travel.

  • You'll need to show some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.

  • If you haven't driven before in Spain, keep in mind that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 20kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Spain is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run. 9am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) here. Along with your bank cards, consider taking some cash for smaller purchases.

  • The language most commonly spoken in this country is Spanish.
