Spain Car Hire FAQs

The essential items you will need to bring to an Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch when renting a vehicle are:

  • a valid drivers licence
  • valid ID

You will also need to prove you are over 25 years of age, and there may be additional documentation required for international drivers.

We accept all major debit cards except for Maestro, Electron, Solo and pre-paid cards. To rent our 4x4s and premium vehicles, we require a credit card. All cards MUST have the main driver's name on it.

Things to do in Spain

Discover the history of Spain:

With such a rich cultural heritage, Spain has a lot to offer all road trip enthusiasts. Why not start your journey with a scenic drive through the picturesque Andalusian Mountains? Travel through Andalucía’s world famous olive gardens, and while you’re in the area, how about enrolling for a lesson in its traditional flamenco dance?

For the classic enthusiasts, Spain is full of quirky offerings and places of high historical significance. Drive to places like the Historic City of Toledo, or the Historic Centre of Cordoba, and be rewarded by the abundance of Spanish culture. These settlements have long been considered the origins of modern society as we know it today.

Two of the world’s most exciting cities:

For those more immersed in modern culture, and more specifically sports, then there really is no better country to explore. Look no further than the two sporting temples that are the Nou Camp in Barcelona and the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid - home to the world’s two biggest football clubs. However, both of these cities offer much more for anyone whom football is not quite their area of expertise. Barcelona and Madrid both offer an unrivalled nightlife and they are both destinations containing everything you’ll need to make some amazing memories with friends and family.

Tips for Driving in Spain

When driving in Spain, there a few things to keep in mind:

  • First, and perhaps the most important thing to remember before setting off, is that you drive on the right hand side of the road in Spain. It may seem obvious, but you need to be constantly thinking about it to ensure you never slip into the habit of driving on the left!
  • Spain has a large network of Autopista highways that you may have to pay for. Roughly 20% of the national motorway network requires toll payments, but in Catalonia over half of the motorway network requires payment. The letters AP, for example AP8, mark these toll roads. Alternatively, there are roads similar to Autopistas that do not require payment. These motorways, known as Autovias, are identifiable by the letter A, for example A40.
  • The cost of Autopistas varies, as the pricing is based on the length of the road. You can expect to pay a fee for cross-country journeys when using the toll roads. Using the Autovias and other Spanish roads can save you a lot of money, whilst also being more scenic at the cost of small amounts of time.
  • The speed limits in Spain are as follows; the motorway limit (both Autopistas and Autovias) is 120 km/h. Main roads are limited to either 80, 90 or 100 km/h, so make sure you keep an eye out for the signposts indicating the limit on these roads. Built-up areas are restricted to 50 or 70 km/h, as indicated.
  • The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Spain is 21, depending on the type of vehicle you’re looking to rent. The age restriction rises to 25 for some vehicle types.
