Everything you need to know before getting behind the wheel in Spain
Spain drives on the right-hand side of the road. Speed limits, road signs, and traffic laws are strictly enforced across the country. Below are the key rules every driver should know before picking up their rental car at Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN) or any location in Spain.
In Spanish cities, parking is regulated through colour-coded zones. Blue zones (zona azul) are paid parking areas with time limits - pay at the nearest meter and display the ticket on the dashboard. Green zones (zona verde) are reserved for local residents with permits and are not available to visitors.
Yellow lines and kerb markings indicate no-parking zones at all times. ORA (Ordenación de la Regulación del Aparcamiento) signs regulate parking hours in city centres. Underground and multi-storey car parks are widely available in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, and other major cities - often the most practical option for tourists.
Fuel options at Spanish service stations include unleaded petrol (gasolina sin plomo 95 and 98), diesel (gasóleo), LPG (GLP), and an increasing number of EV charging points. Major petrol station brands include Repsol, Cepsa, BP, Galp, and Shell. Stations on motorways are open 24 hours, while those in towns and villages may have limited opening hours.
Most Spanish fuel stations accept credit and debit cards as well as cash. Some automated stations operate card-only outside business hours. Always fill up your rental car before returning it to avoid refuelling surcharges from the rental company. Check which fuel type your vehicle requires before refuelling.
Spain has an extensive network of toll motorways (autopistas de peaje) designated with an AP- prefix on road signs. These provide fast connections between major cities and along the Mediterranean coast. Free alternatives (autovías, marked A-) exist on most routes, though they may add time to longer journeys.
Tolls can be paid in cash, by credit/debit card, or using the Vía-T electronic transponder. Key toll routes include the AP-7 along the Mediterranean coast, the AP-2 from Barcelona to Zaragoza, and the AP-9 in Galicia. Plan your route in advance to budget for toll costs on your Spain road trip.
