A complete guide to car rental in Seville
I love traveling by car. And it’s something that I often do, especially to explore lesser known areas of Andalucía and discover hidden treasures…
Every day I get a couple of emails asking me about car rental in Spain, how to book a car rental online that doesn’t cost a fortune and what’s the best itinerary possible using the car. That’s why after many years using rental cars myself, I decided to come up with a complete guide related to car rental in Spain based on my own experience.

Why should you travel around Seville by car?
When you travel to Seville, you can stick to the city and thoroughly explore it, or you can spend a week or two and go to several destinations so that you can see more of the country and get a sense of all that makes it great. There can be great differences from city to city or province to province, so traveling around will give you a much better sense of the Spanish culture.
There’s also something that I love about driving in a different country: it gives you a number of new experiences that will become great stories. Don’t stick to the typical roads. Get off the main highways and explore the unknown.

You can do what you want, when you want
One of the biggest benefits is flexibility. You can basically stop your car anywhere you want.
In addition to this, you can travel at you own pace. So you can visit a destination in a few hours or spend as much as you want depending on whether you like it or not.
It’s a very comfortable way of traveling
A car rental allows visiting remote places, hidden trails or restaurants with a view, impossible to get to by other means of transportation. Also, there is nothing better than a car waiting for you at the railway station or airport (no extra fees for a taxi!). Once you get there, you’re ready to go!
Oh, and you don’t need to carry your luggage to the bus, train or metro…
Skip long check-in and security lines
Forget about lengthy check-in procedures when traveling by car: there is no need to go through any security screening!
Your rental car is always reliable and on schedule
You don’t need to rely on a schedule and deal with delays. Your rental car is always going to be on time for you.
However, I won’t lie to you: you may run into traffic jams getting to or exiting some of the big cities. So try to avoid rush hours.
It’s easy to get a very cheap rate
Because the competition among car rental companies is so fierce, they usually offer really good deals and a wide range of cars.
Your budget may significantly decrease if you divide expenses
Imagine four of you are travelling, and you decide to rent a car instead of using public transport. And even if renting car and paying for fuel may turn out into quite much money, if there are four of you and you divide all expenses for four persons – it will be cheaper for sure.
