Car Hire in Spain

<h1>Car Hire in Spain</h1>Author: <a title="Nick Cox" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/nick-cox/33692.htm">Nick Cox</a> Hiring a car abroad provides you with the freedom to travel and explore a country at your own leisure.

Where to go?

You could head to the north of Spain. The Basque country provides gorgeous lush country side and coastlines that are untainted by tourism. The greener and cooler climbs of the northern regions also provide a pleasant change to the heat of the south.

The Basque country offers a full range of leisure activities including climbing, surfing, horse-riding and canoeing. But the main attraction to the Basque country is its cuisine. The Basque cuisine is world renowned for it's quality and the city of San Sebastian in particular offers a level of culinary excellence that is unrivalled by just about any other city.

If you're after higher temperatures and warmer seas then head south to the Mediterranean coastline. <a href="http://www.travelsupermarket.com/travelmerge/travelsearch.aspx?package=6">Car hire</a> pick-up points are available at both Alicante and Malaga airports.

For <a href="http://www.travelsupermarket.com/travelmerge/travelsearch.aspx?package=6">cheap car hire</a> then the best time to travel to Spain is during the spring and summer months. <a href="http://www.travelsupermarket.com/travelmerge/travelsearch.aspx?package=6">Car rental</a> prices are generally higher between April and October.

Things to remember

•	Speed limits (most signs abroad are in kilometres per hour)

•	Different road signs

•	Get a decent road map
