TRAVEL > CAR RENTAL in SPAIN (Worldwide Info.) -- Click here for info about Car Hire in Spain (from the U.K.)

One of your options for that perfect Spain Vacation would be renting a car. Car rental gives you freedom as you can easily drive between the different cities, you can plan your own Spanish tour and you won't be depending on train time-tables. Renting a car in Spain is quite affordable and traveling from a place to another is fairly easy. The only downside I could see for renting a car in Spain is that you may not be used to the Spanish way of driving.

Driving a car in Spain is not that different but the traffic tends to be fast paced, and the roads are not as wide and straight as the roads in the U.S. However, the advantages of renting a car over taking trains are significant: not only will you have more freedom to travel around Spain, but also it will probably result cheaper than the train option.

I recommend you to specify at the time of your rental what kind of car you want, as the most popular in Spain is stick-shift and they might not be able to provide you with an automatic due to the limited existence of this kind of cars in Spain.
