We are spending over two weeks in Spain. We want a rental car for the freedom of being able to drive on our schedule. Our first week we will be in Malaga, our second week we will be in Castellon and then we are spending a couple of days with a friend in Pamplona. hotel en barcelona Can we pick up a car in Malaga and drop off in Pamplona? What rental hotel en barcelona car place would you recommend? Any additional fees?
check kayak.com and then compare to Autoeurope and each company individually when you find a cheap rate. There are plenty of online discount coupons. Rarely have I found them (AE) to be the cheapest, but they seem to be very popular.
. You must continue to a roundabout or place to turn around. Solid lines in Spain no not mean only NO PASSING, but also NO NOT CROSS. Turning LEFT in Spain can be a challenge. Many times to turn left you must go right first around a split roundabout or find a place to legally turn at an intersection.
Keep enough cash on you to pay any ticket you might get. I got nailed in Logrono and only had about E70 in my pocket. The ticket was E120 [45 in a 35 zone]. The Guardia Civil followed me to an ATM that didn't work and then to a bank where I had to pull out the $100 under the insole in my shoe and get change. The bank was not pleased with the condition of my bill. Not a problem, I still had the other shoe!
If you are dropping the car off where they can use it, then they will generally not add a oneway fee. Avis and EuropeCar are the two main rental agencies in Pamplona. Both have offices at the airport and in town. If you drop the car off at the Pamplona airport, you'll either have to have your friend pick you up or take a taxi into town. There is currently no bus service at the airport. Both Avis and EuropeCar can be booked through AE at a discount.
Same with parking. Never assume along a street is legal parking even if it is filled with cars. If there is any type of line or dotted line or sign at beginning or end of street you had better look into the translation of that sign.
And be sure to get an international driver's license, you do not need until you are stopped. You will not need one to rent the car, but the police or the Guardia do not look kindly upon the omission of one.
I know a few people who have sold their points online (the cost of the ticket plus a fee) when they ve received a ticket in the mail from one of the hidden hotel en barcelona speed trap cameras and can't afford to loose their license. But it can get expensive.
hotel en barcelona My ticket was from the infamous speed trap on the N-240 Km 202 (Huesca) in the direction of Tarragon, where you round the corner and the speed suddenly drops from 120 to 70, then back to 120, all in the space of a couple of hundred meters. It s been there since 2005, resulting in hundreds of tickets (and nearly as many comments online).
Wrong, Robert. No Spanish ID number needed. Perhaps we had to give a passport number. Don't really remember as it was 2 yrs. ago. Hey, they have to make it as easy as possible in order to suck in the money from us tourists !
My one and only speeding ticket in Spain was in '09, when you needed the Spanish ID in order to pay online. I've made it a point since then to avoid another speeding ticket. You just have to know where and when you can pick up a little time, like following a couple of GC motorcycles down the A2 from Zaragoza at 130kph. They maintained that speed for around 20 minutes before finally hotel en barcelona pulling off the highway to let the long line of cars pass.
