Car rental in Spain

Renting a car is one of the best ways to move around Spain. Driving in Spain is pretty much like driving in any other european country. There are three things you should remember if you decide to rent a car in Spain:

• know your rights: if you hire a car within the EU you should read this site before leaving home.
• speed limits: 50 km/h in urban areas (though it can be reduced to 30 km/h), 100 km/h in interurban roads (90 km/h in smaller roads) and 120 km/h in highways. Respecting these limits is the best way to avoid speeding fines.
• there is much more to Spain than the coast: consider, for example, these five one-day excursions from Madrid.
