Enjoy your trip with Gobycar

Driving in Spain is always a pleasant experience, as the roads are well-maintained. As in many destinations, there are rules and regulations that you should know before embarking aboard a car. In Spain you have to drive on the right and overtake on the left. The speed limit is 120 km/h on highways and dual carriageways, 90 km/h on conventional roads, although the road holder may set a limit up to 100 km/h (except for pick-ups). If we are talking about minimum speed for circulation, it will be 60 km/h and even less depending on the area. Signage in Spain is really good, you will realize this as soon as you pick up your rental car at the airport.

Regarding parking, Spain has blue zones which are paid through the parking meter after parking. We will find coin-operated parking meters and the modern ones with payment through mobile Apps, which guarantees being able to pay electronically and at the desired time without depending on the coins we carry in our pockets. As a general rule, the maximum time to park in these areas will be two hours and depending on each municipality there are exempt time slots and some different limits.Generally, Sunday is a day off in the blue zone, although there are exceptions, so it is convenient to check the schedules. If the parking area is not painted blue but white or there is no paint, this will indicate that it is a free area and therefore we can park if we do not see a sign preventing it from doing so.

As for road tolls, Spain has a large number of them, which are paid at the entrance to the motorway. Although this is common in the territory of the Iberian Peninsula, it is not so common in the Canary Islands or the Balearic Islands. Both archipelagos do not have any tolls on their islands, which is a great advantage for rented cars.

In conclusion, Spain is positioned as one of the countries with the best road quality, making it a perfect destination to rent a car, making you feel safe at all times. If it is with Gobycar, it will not only be a safe experience on the roads but also a pleasant one due to all the comforts and facilities that we offer you.

Here you have some tips to keep in mind when renting a car:

• Rent your car on time. Forecasting is important when it comes to getting better prices and also having insurance, if possible fully comprehensive and including driving possible companions, thus avoiding unpleasant surprises. Insurance should not be seen as an extra that increases the price, on the contrary; thanks to it, you gain peace of mind.
• Look for a free cancellation rental in case of any setback before your trip
• Be sure to pay attention to the fuel policy as each rental car offers various modalities and economic penalties in case of non-compliance. If we must return it full, knowing the nearest gas station to the delivery point will be important.

• Finally, you should bear in mind that in Spain, child car seats are mandatory up to 3 years of age, and children under 12 must always travel in the back seat and be properly restrained. The company will provide you with the type of chair you need for a small fee.

You have to meet several requirements to be able to rent a car in Spain. From Gobycar we recommend that you ensure compliance with all of them so as not to be surprised.

First of all, you must have a valid driving license recognized by the European Union. In case you are a citizen outside the EU, you need to present an international driving license.

You must be over 21 years old and have a driving license for at least one year to rent a vehicle with us.

Finally, you must have a credit or debit card to make the payment, but to pick up the car it is necessary to present a valid credit card in the name (first and last name, without abbreviations) of the main driver to the rental office to pre-authorize /charge an amount as a deposit. Be prepared to provide the PIN number of the credit card presented, as providers may require it to proceed with the rental agreement. In the event that you cannot present a valid credit card, the card does not have a sufficient balance, or the credit card is not in the name of the main driver, the car rental agent may deny delivery of the vehicle. In such cases, no amount paid will be refunded.
