Important information about Madrid car rentals

There are so many things to see and do in Madrid and the surrounding area. Some of the most popular attractions include the Prado Museum, the Temple of Debod, Plaza Mayor, and the Royal Palace. There are around 15 car rental locations in Madrid, so you are sure to find a car to suit your trip. There are a few things you should be aware of about using rental cars in Madrid. There are three free car parking areas at the outskirts of the city, and you can park in one of these lots and then use public transit to enter the city and save a lot in parking fees. Automatic transmission cars are not popular in Spain, so it may be difficult to find a cheap car rental in Madrid that doesn’t have a manual transmission. If booking in advance through momondo, be sure and check the transmission type of the car you are renting if you don’t know how to drive a manual. Speed cameras are common, and all speed limit signs are in kilometers per hour. Highway tolls are also common, so make sure you have a way to pay.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Madrid?

Though the city is walkable and public transit is available, having an economy car rental will enable you to travel to sites located outside the city limits as well as travel to the city if you are staying in the surrounding area. Segovia, Toledo, Cuenca, and Rascafria are just a few lovely towns that are a short drive from Madrid. Parking on the streets of the city is not allowed and most parking areas require payment. Driving in the city, in general, can be difficult if you aren't familiar with it. There are many narrow streets and traffic circles are often used instead of traffic lights in many places throughout the city. Car rentals in Madrid also make it easy to add a day trip to the coast, where you can enjoy the beautiful beaches.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Madrid?

You cannot turn right on red in Spain. You also need to carry proof of insurance. Seat belt laws are strictly enforced, and all persons must wear a seat belt. Small children need to be secured in a European Union-approved child seat. You cannot hold your phone while driving and may have to pay a fine on the spot if they catch you doing it. You must wear appropriate clothing and shoes while operating a motor vehicle or you could be fined. That means wearing a shirt and you can’t drive in flip-flops. You also can’t put your hand out the window. It is advisable to always check with the local department of motor vehicles about any recent changes in driving laws.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Madrid if I’m visiting from another country?

If you are traveling from a non-European Union country, you will need both your valid driver’s license, passport, and an international driving permit (IDP). You also must be age 22 years or older and have a credit card to rent a car in Madrid. Some Madrid car rentals have an upper age limit of 65 years for drivers. It is always advisable to check the laws before traveling, as policies can change on short notice.
