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.
