Things to remember when hiring your car

If you are planning to cover long distances in your rental car, this may affect the amount that you pay. Car rental companies in Spain often provide a mileage limit when you pick up the car. If you go over the amount of miles allocated to you, you will have to pay a surcharge for this. Sometimes the mileage limit is not particularly high, so there is a fair possibility that you will exceed it. Therefore, it is worth checking with the car rental company what the mileage limit is on the particular vehicle that you are renting.

There is no road tax in Spain - instead, there are toll booths along all of the motorways. This may prove to be an additional expense during your holiday - particularly if you will be travelling long distances and avoiding 'scenic routes'. This may affect your decision as to whether to rent a car rather than using public transport to get around Catalunya or Spain.
