Car Rental
|
Enjoy your Spanish holiday and explore the areas around you villa in Spain, hire a car during your stay and get out and about. Some of the best places to visit in Spain can be found tucked away from the crowds inland and up in the mountains.
Find those white washed villages and enjoy real tapas with the locals, you will find that by hiring a car and exploring these unspoilt areas that your holiday will cost less. Why pay tourist prices for dinner when you could be paying between €6 - €10 for a three course meal.
While you are driving around in your hire car look out for the 'Menu del Dia' menu of the day signs in the local bars and restaurants. These places offer some of the best food in Spain at local prices an will normally consist of three courses.
Drive out into the countryside and get away from the mass crowds and drive through roads surrounded by olives and oranges. Check with your car rental company as many wil allow you to drive your hire car into Portugal for the day or even drive down to Gibraltar and Algeciras and catch a ferry over to Morroco but make sure you hire a car that
is big enough to fit all of your purchases in.

Tips;
- Remember to take your driving license, this may sound silly but the car rental company will not let you take the car without this. Some car rental companies will require the paper copy as well as the photo id version of your driving license
- You will need to carry your ID (Passport) and driving license with you, the police in Spain do set up check points where they will pull over all cars for a routine check. As long as you have your documents there will be no problem.
- Dont drink and drive, its is very tempting to have a lazy siesta and a bottle of wine before driving off and continuing your day trip. There are many stories about the problems with drinking and driving in Spain but the Spanish police are clamping down on this with heavy fines and bans even if you are a foreigner.
- Buy a decent map, Spanish road signs are not the best in the world and can sometimes be none existent. So it is wise to invest in a good road map of the area you are in, most petrol stations sell these for a few euros.
- There is nothing to be scared about driving in Spain, once you get used to driving on the other side of the road (which does not take long) there is nothing to it, this will be a enjoyable part of your Spanish holiday driving around in your hire car.
