Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If anything else is expected, it'll be listed in your booking.
Get acquainted with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Spain.
