To rent a car in Spain, you must present a valid driver's license from your home country that obtained at least 12 months ago (up to 24 months ago for some rental companies in the Canary and Balearic Islands), your passport and your credit card.

If you do not have a European or a European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) driver's license, you will require an international driver's license. Watch out! The international license does not replace your original driver’s license, it only complements it. You must have both documents with you at all times.

In Europe, the majority of rental vehicles are equipped with a manual transmission and those with an automatic transmission are generally more expensive.

In some countries, foreign drivers must have an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is valid for 1 to 3 years. It's an official translation of your driver's license in a dozen languages and you can use it in over 150 countries! 

It can be required or simply recommended depending on the country. In Spain, it is required for all non-European travelers.

All over the world, age conditions and restrictions are applied for car rentals.

An increase in the price of the rented vehicle can therefore be induced. The minimum age required for a car rental varies according to the country of destination. In addition, each rental company can decide for themself whether to maintain this minimum age or to increase the minimum age limit for car rentals.

In Spain, the minimum age required to rent a car is 21 years old.

Car seat regulations vary from country to country. You must always check the road safety regulations, for your child's safety, for the country that you reside in and/or for the countries you are visiting. 

In Spain, an child seat is required for children who are shorter than 135cm or are less than 12 years old. It is even recommended for children up to 150cm. 

If your seat meets these standards, bring it with you! It's free to bring with most airlines and your child will be comfortable and feeling right at home.

Otherwise, you will have to consider renting a child seat with your vehicle. This option will be payable in advance or at the counter, depending on the rental companies.

Please note that not all rental companies offer this option.
