Simple advice for UK holidaymakers booking car hire in mainland Spain, the Balearics, and the Canary Islands.
Book early for summer airport pickups, especially Malaga, Alicante, Palma, Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Barcelona.
Full-to-full fuel is usually clearer than paying upfront for a tank you may not use.
Expect to drive on the right and take extra care at roundabouts, car parks, and resort access roads.
Check credit card, debit card, excess, and deposit requirements before choosing the lowest price.
