Insurance and optional extras

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Pontevedra by adding a few nifty extras. Think things like a navigation system to make sure you never miss a turn, or reverse cameras that upgrade your parking game.

Good to know

  • The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Spain is generally 21 years old. However some providers set their own rules, so always double-check your rental company's policy to see what applies to you.

  • Add a car seat to your Pontevedra car rental reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest option.

  • You'll need to bring a few things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stay on the right side of the road in Spain.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's normally around 20kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always check the posted signs.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Spain. The only sure way to stay legal to drive is to skip the drinks.

  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 9am. Make things easy by driving outside rush hours in general.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Pay with a card where you can, but carry a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.
