Spain Car Rentals

Filed under: Getting Around Spain - 11 Oct 2007 from Your Spain Guide

Car rental in Spain is a great way to get around and see the country. Public transport is much better than a few years ago, but there are still a few towns and villages, and whole rural areas, which are well worth a visit, but very difficult to access by bus or train.

Most cars that you can rent in Spain are almost brand new, and are well maintained by the car rental company. The only thing that may be a little off-putting, especially for North American visitors, is that it’s not very easy to find automatic cars. And, when you do find them, they tend to be much more expensive to rent than manual-change cars.
