Good to know
Typically, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Spain. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.
Add a car seat to your ACE car rental reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Regulations change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest option.
You'll need some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
If you've never driven in Spain, remember that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
Local speed limits can vary, but it's normally around 20kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always obey the road signs.
In Spain, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you intend to have a couple of drinks, get someone else to do the driving or arrange a taxi or ride-share instead.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) here. In addition to your bank cards, have some cash on hand for minor purchases.
