  • The coverage Alamo or another company includes with your Leon car hire can differ, so be sure to go over the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.

  • Booking one-way could land you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be moved around. Simply click 'Return car to a different location' when searching the range of cars for rent in Leon.

  • Spend less on fuel by picking a vehicle that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up your ride with a full tank and drop it off full, so you're only paying for what you use.

  • Roam without limits by choosing a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, these rides let you go as far as you like with no extra cost.

Compare car hire types in Leon

  • Small: Whether you're navigating busy cities or taking a short trip, this car category offers big value in a small package. Including mini and economy classes, you can look forward to easy handling and great mileage.

  • Medium: Choose from compact and intermediate cars that combine fuel efficiency, space and comfort. Easy to handle in cities and roomy enough for longer drives, they're well-suited to most travel needs.

  • Large: Offering a more comfortable driving experience and extra tech features, this Leon car hire category includes full-size cars. With larger rear seats and plenty of storage space, they let you load up and take everyone, and everything, with ease.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Choosing excess insurance for your Leon car hire can take the stress out of driving. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of an accident or theft. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so give them a quick comparison.

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Leon by adding a few nifty extras. Think things like a navigation system to keep you headed the right way, or reverse cameras that make parking feel effortless.

Good to know

  • Generally, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Spain. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.

  • Add a car seat to your Leon car hire booking if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules vary from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest way to go.

  • Make sure you have the necessary documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.

  • Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Spain.

  • Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 20kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Spain is 0.05%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother trip. 9am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and outings. Pay with your card when it's convenient, and keep a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.

  • Spanish is the language most often spoken across the country.
