KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Salamanca
- Nestled in northwest Spain, Salamanca is a dazzling Spanish gem with exceptional beauty and many attractions. Car rentals in Salamanca allow you to travel comfortably and faster than public transport, such as trains and buses, which usually have waiting times. With a rental car, you spend less time traveling, allowing you to discover the various points of interest, including The Plaza Mayor, Casa de las Conchas, the Old and New Cathedrals, and the 1st-century Roman Bridge.
- Your flight to Salamanca will likely touch down at Valladolid Airport (VLL), situated 80 miles northeast of Salamanca. Renowned providers operate at the airport, providing a wide range of cars to enable travelers to seamlessly continue with their onward journey. Salamanca car rentals at the airport provide the convenience of driving the vehicle right from the flight hub. The car rental desks are near the baggage claim area in the airport terminal. You can rent a car from one of the car rental providers, including Europcar, Sunnycars, Avis, Thrifty, Keddy, Alamo, and National Car Rental.
- Driving around Salamanca is an enjoyable and manageable experience, as the town has an elaborate road network. All motorists must stick to the right side of the road. Like other major Spanish cities, drivers must always be on high alert because it's not uncommon for Spanish drivers to suddenly pull out in front of you without signaling. However, you shouldn't demonstrate road rage or even consider drinking and driving lest you get on the wrong side of the law. The permissible blood alcohol level is 0.5 per mg (one small beer) for experienced drivers and 0.1 per mg for young drivers (who've had a license for less than two years).
- Traffic congestion is another concern when considering the difficulties of driving car rentals in Salamanca. While the roads in the city tend to have moderate traffic, there are three periods in which you can expect to encounter increased traffic volumes and inefficiencies. They include the morning rush hour, from 8 am to 9:30 am when residents take morning walks. Traffic congestion also occurs in mid-afternoon from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. You can experience slow traffic flows in the evening from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
- Book your rental car in Salamanca at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Salamanca are around 56% cheaper than other car types, on average
