Good to know
You usually have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Spain. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just expect some extra rules or charges. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.
Planning a trip with the kids? Car seat rules vary from one place to another, and the right setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Check if you need to add one to your Valencia car rental booking.
Come prepared and keep pick-up quick and easy. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no digital copies) and another form of photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.
Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Spain.
Follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 20kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Spain is 0.05%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 9am. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.
