Good to know
You generally have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in Spain. Younger drivers can sometimes still qualify — just expect some added charges or limits. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.
If you've got the kids in tow, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Puerto de la Cruz car rental reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.
You'll be asked for some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Spain.
Keep within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 20kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
In Spain, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you think you'll be drinking, leave the driving to someone else or use public transport instead.
Try 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) for all your purchases and expenses here. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cards and cash so you always have a backup option.
