Below is
a list of helpful information about car hire in general in Spain.
Age:
Worldwide
the standard minimum age to hire a car is 25 and the maximum age allowed is
75. However, in Spain most locations require a minimum age of 21 and have no
maximum age limit. Drivers of 19 will be considered in some locations. Please
check with our reservations staff.
Driving
Licence:
Drivers
must produce a full valid driving licence held for at least 12 months. If you
have a photocard licence, both parts must be presented at the time of hire.
The rental car companies reserve the right to refuse rental to anyone who does
not meet eligibility requirements, or anyone deemed unfit to drive the vehicle
due to excessive endorsements. In this event, Almeria Living has no further
liability to the hirer.
Car
Models:
All the
cars listed are examples of car types and are grouped by size and similarity.
No specific model can ever be guaranteed and all our suppliers reserve the right
to supply an alternative vehicle of the same size or higher group.
Returning
Your Rental Car:
When you
pick up your car keys, it's worth just checking the car drop-off details. Don't
forget that even if you are only a few hours late returning your car, there's
likely to be a charge. The reason for this is that the car has to be 'ready,
waiting and in tip-top condition' for the next holidaymakers - just as it was
for you!
Return
times and extra day charges:
All car
hire is calculated on a 24 hour clock. The worldwide standard is a 59 minute
grace period for return of the vehicle before an extra day charge will apply.
Should you need to extend your rental during your hire, please inform the company
that we have arranged the rental with 24 hours before.
General
Advice
Familiarise
yourself with all the instruments.
Know what
type of fuel the car requires.
Make sure
that you have an emergency phone number for the supplier.
Ask about
local driving conditions and local driving laws.
Check the
car thoroughly - if you see any dents, scratches or other faults, let the supplier
know and make sure that a note is made on your contract.
