Good to know
Typically, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Spain. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just expect some extra fees or restrictions. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before booking.
Add a car seat to your Ponferrada car rental booking if you're planning to travel with the kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest way to travel.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
If you're unfamiliar with driving in Spain, keep in mind that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Stay within local speed limits of about 20kph through built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Spain. The most reliable way to be safe to drive is to avoid drinking completely.
Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run in general. 9am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) here. As well as your credit and debit cards, consider bringing some cash for minor purchases.
