Local intelligence
Things to know before renting in Seville
- Drive on the right; most Spanish rentals are manual gearbox — request automatic and expect a surcharge or limited availability.
- Seville's historic centre has an extensive pedestrian zone (ZBE) — access is restricted. Plan to park at a garage on the outskirts and walk.
- Spain requires all renters to carry two warning triangles and a reflective vest — standard issue in rental cars. You must wear the vest before exiting on a highway.
- A Spanish green card (insurance certificate) must be in the car at all times. Rental companies provide this automatically.
- Minimum age is 21 with at least one year of licence held. Young-driver surcharge applies under 25; some luxury cars require 25+.
- Day trip to Córdoba (1.5h east) or Cádiz (1.5h south) by car makes Seville an ideal base for Andalucía exploration.
