Holiday In Spain Stress-Free And Organized

Paella, exotic music played by sun-kissed men and women and sitting on the deck till the early hours of the morning in the warm nights’ air sounds like a dream come true, and for some it is. Traveling the world is a luxury not everyone gets to do but if you have the chance then you are going to want to do it right, planned, organized, and most importantly relaxing.

Taking the time to plan a vacation is not as daunting as some people think and inevitably this is what prevents them from taking the leap, but if you stay focused and ensure you cover all your bases there is not a lot that can go wrong.

There are lists you can use to help you get started, this way you have a foundation to work off of and you can get the ball rolling. We need to think about accommodation, activities, but most importantly the transportation once you get there else you won’t be able to do anything or go anywhere.

Thinking about which car is best.

If there are a lot of people in your travel party then you are better off finding and hiring the vehicle on your own, with so many voices and opinions there will be too many suggestions, complaints, or preferences and by the time you come to a decision there is a bad mood in the air. No thank you.

You need to consider the daily distance you intend on driving, if they are mainly short trips then comfort needn’t be a top priority but can still be in the mix of considerations. Opt for fuel efficiency and ideally an automatic so you can simply hop in and go at the drop of a hat.

Weather dependent could also mean the option of a soft top, however, in countries like Spain where temperatures easily reach mid-thirties that scorching sun might get too much and you’ll end up being sunburnt our burnt out and lethargic. If the weather is warm to cool then driving with the top down could add that little touch of magic to the trip and memories.

3 Top features tourists consider essential when hiring a vehicle abroad.

  • Insurance. This may seem like an obvious aspect but many people believe ‘nothing’ will happen to them and this is just the time you want to be prepared. Check if you are covered internationally on your insurance or what options are available from the rental agency, but ensure windscreen and tires are included in the cover.
  • Fuel policy. A tricky topic as every agency has its set of rules, but for the most part, they give you a half or full tank and expect the same on return of the vehicle. Unfortunately, some companies require you to pay for a full tank upfront and ask that your return it empty, this is easier said than done and there are no refunds on unused fuel. Be sure to check the fine print.

  • Extras. Every firm is going to try to sell you something more, add ons that you don’t necessarily need but they try to convince you that you do. Ask about navigational systems, is one included, is there a radio or disc player? It seems in today’s day and age that these would be standard procedures but you’d be surprised what these businesses try to get away with. Do your homework and ask questions.

Finding the right rental company.

The biggest question of them all, who will give you a fair price, within budget for the car you are hoping to get? There are endless car rental companies out there, it is all about simply narrowing it down to your specific area you’ll be staying and traveling in and seeing the services they offer for your budget.

You want a company that has been in the industry for years, they have the experience and knowledge to offer advice and guidance about your concerns or queries and offer the best solution for it.

Reliable and reputable firms have no issues answering questions, and if the one you speak to keeps changing the subject or avoiding the answer then it should raise a red flag and it would be best to look elsewhere.

Then the biggest worry we all have is how much it is all going to cost. We want to go on holiday without having to pay an arm and leg for seeing the sites in a rented car, we want to pay the fair rate, the average for the area and surroundings and not be ‘taken for a ride’ as they say because you’re a tourist.

For help and to see what is available on the market at the moment, check out goautos leiebil Spania where you can not only discover more than you thought was available within your price range but that isn’t too much over your proposed budget. Win-win.

Holidays are about enjoying yourself, seeing and discovering new places, going on adventures, and eating exotic foods while sipping cocktails made by the grass-skirt-wearing bar lady. Sometimes we just want to be part of those scenes we see in the movies, we work hard and we certainly deserve it.

The time it takes to do proper, well-researched Intel on a quality car rental company will save you financially and mentally when arriving to pick up the keys.

Stressless Spain.

If you have ever been to Spain you will know that culture is a big part of who they are, what they believe in, and how they portray it to visitors, and this is what is so great about the country.

To explore the rich history, to see the vibrant colors of architecture and materials is a wonder in itself, but tasting and experiencing authentic cuisine is like no other. You need to visit different areas of the coast, up and down the beach each venue adding their own piece of personality to your adventure, and if it comes with a cheap enough price tag of a rented car then all the better.

The art of renting out and hiring has been around for centuries and now that travel has become easier, quicker, and more cost-effective this is a practice that is not likely to die down anytime soon. Opting to rent a car while on holiday can take a weight off your shoulders, especially if you are traveling with kids who have no desire to wait in queues at bus and train stops.

You only need to type in the destination, get everyone in the car, and off you go, turn the volume up on the music system because we know we all love to sing out of tune at the top of our voices, and live life to the fullest.

Spain is a beautiful country, with diverse ethnicities everywhere you look and it is a destination to be sure to have on your bucket list. So make a plan, hire your vehicle and enjoy the ride.
