Renting car in spain?
Hey all,
just wondering what the cheapest options are for renting a car in Spain. $50CAD a day seems to be the best deals I am finding, seems kinda excessive.
Any tips?
thx

Is there a reason why you are wanting to rent a car? Gas, insurance, parking and (if you can't drive a manual) automatic transmissions are all pretty pricey. Are you traveling with a group?
Spain has a decent rail and bus system. For long distances, the usual budget Euro airlines and Vueling have good deals. I would advise against driving in Spain as Spaniards are kind of, well, crazy behind the wheel.

Hey to answer this question: I wanted to check out the coastline of Spain, so me and my travel partner did indeed get a car, from Alicante and returned it in Alimeria. It was 70euros for 3 days and we used about 30 euros in gas. It was totally worth it for the sights and the control. Driving on the non motorway, aka the non tolled roads, crazy hills and no fences, etc was so cool. I would reccomend renting a car for europe to anyone.

Spain is a country reminiscent of the sun image, Sangria, Matador and snacks. However, to get to know the locals, and explore the country farther away than the sun drenched beaches, you will soon realize that in fact there are many offer.The region of Spain Spain is the only different from each other, one of the best travel Way you can see the country and as far as possible is to hire a car and drive yourself. Avoid taxis, public transport and rigid timetable.

Car Rental in Spain is not the cheapest of all options, but it is certainly the most convenient way to travel. The basic car rental cost may more than a bus ticket or train with you to invest in gas and tolls, but it is essential if you want to explore the depth of the Spanish city.

Renting a car in Spain is not the best option if you are on budget travel. It can be really expensive. But sure it is the best option if you want to explore the country in your own way as you can go out anywhere without caring about the time that you will get to spend there. Just lay on any beach that you come across on the way and have fun. but you have to spend some bucks to get a car in Spain.

Holidays in Spain may cause some car rental companies to increase their interest rates for car leasing schemes is limited to the local. In this case, the car rental is also the best choice, unless the provision of comfort and transportation a top priority.

There are several car hire service provider online in Spain and they are providing vehicles according to your need which are air conditioned with GPS navigation system, radio transmission and special seats for children and physically handicapped. You will find that it is affordable and economical and renting a car you can reach places that are not easy to get to by public transport.
