  • Thinking of staying longer? Pick up a weekly rental from ₹ 13,917 and say yes to more adventures.

  • To land the best price on a Gijón car hire, book in advance. Rates generally rise as your travel dates get closer, and you might have less to pick from.

  • Whether you choose Alamo or another supplier, make sure you understand the coverage on your Gijón car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as a paid extra.

  • Avoid those steep refueling fees by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start and end your trip with a full tank, and pay only for what you use.

Good to know

  • To rent a vehicle in Spain, you typically have to be at least 21 years old. Some places may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles for a higher fee, so always check the policies before confirming your booking.

  • Bringing the kids with you? Child car seat laws differ from place to place, and the correct setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Find out if you need to add one to your Gijón car hire reservation.

  • Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no digital copies) and a second photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Spain.

  • Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 20kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 9am. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.
