 | | Car Rental in Málaga: What You Need to Know | | | To drive in Spain you will need to have either a European Union driving license, a US driving license, or an international driving license which has been translated in Spanish, and you will need to carry this with you at all times. American visitors will only be able to use their national driving licenses for six months from their date of arrival in the country. They should also be aware that Málaga is full of traffic circles (rotundas). If you're not used to dealing with these, the most important rule is to give way to the right.
Wearing seatbelts is mandatory in Spain regardless of your position in a vehicle, children under twelve can't ride in the front, and it's illegal to use a cell phone or listen to music through headphones while driving. You'll need your full attention on the road because Málaga drivers can be very aggressive, but if you're patient and don't rise to the bait then you'll probably get by without any real problems. It can be difficult to find street parking but there are plenty of lots hidden away, so ask at your hotel for advice on the most practical ones for your planned journeys. | | | | | | |  | | Compare Cheap Car Rentals Deals | | |
