Driving in and around Valencia
Valencia’s enviable coastal location makes driving in this city and the area nearby a real pleasure. It’s a relatively compact city, bounded by the sea to the east, while routes both north and south will take you past beaches to other spectacular seaside cities.
From the airport, it’s about a 20 minute drive into Valencia, taking the A-3. In Spain and the rest of continental Europe you’ll be on the right-hand side of the road, with overtaking on the left.
Speed limits are in km/h and distances on signs in kilometres throughout Spain. In Valencia itself and other built-up areas there’s a top speed of 50km/h (31mph), while the Spanish motorways known as ‘autovias’ have a speed limit of 120km/h (74mph). A roads are free to drive on, but roads marked ‘AP’ – autopistas – are toll roads, such as the AP-7 that leads from Valencia to Barcelona.
In the city, traffic can get heavy during commuter hours, but outside of that is more than manageable. The old town is mostly pedestrianised, so park up nearby and explore that are on foot – there are plenty of underground car parks throughout Valencia charged at around €2.50 per hour, and you can even reserve places ahead of time.
The AP-7 acts as a ring road to the western outskirts of Valencia, while the A-7 goes through the centre and leaves to both north and south. The City of Art and Sciences is a great base from which to start exploring, and it sits on the Carrer d’Antonio Ferrandis.
If you’re planning a Spanish road trip, the A-3 from the airport will also take you north-west to Madrid in just under four hours. The popular holiday resorts of Benidorm and Alicante sit to Valencia’s south, about 90 minutes away.
A quick guide to Valencia and beyond
In Valencia, you can spend a morning unpicking the city’s history in an ancient cathedral before an afternoon of modern art or the aquatic thrills of a world-class aquarium. The balancing act of modern and vintage is an artform here and is best expressed in the different flavours of the city’s neighbourhoods. Whether you want a hip urban hangout or an authentic district where fishermen have lived for centuries, it’s all on offer.
The vital Valencia
The modern heart of Valencia is based around a revitalised riverbed and takes the form of what looks like a stray UFO. The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias – City of Art and Sciences – is a stunning piece of work by Santiago Calatrava, a gleaming beacon for the city. Inside there’s an aquarium, opera house, science museum, cinema, and places to eat and drink.
It juxtaposes beautifully with the city’s cathedral which, like many throughout Spain, is built on the site of earlier places of worship that help delineate Valencia’s story. A Roman temple once stood here, then a mosque, while the current church is from the 13th century. It’s home to the ‘Holy Grail’, allegedly, but the wonderful works by Goya inside are definitely original.
Other can’t miss sights include the graceful Turia Gardens, the 15th century silk exchange La Lonja and the buzzing Mercato Centrale. The market is the place to go for tapas or for perfect Spanish titbits for a picnic in the park
The bronze age
Like its northern neighbour Barcelona, Valencia is a city-by-the-sea, combining urban charm with the good life on the beach. A trio of beaches are within easy reach, all of them Blue Flag. Choose between Las Arenas, El Cabanal or Malvarrosa – all offer fine sand, lovely swimming and plenty of facilities. You can indulge in watersports or windsurfing or go snorkelling in the mild sea – before drying off at a chiringuito – the beachside snack bars.
Towns to treasure
While you can use Valencia Airport car hire as a jumping-off point to head to Catalonia or the household names of the Costa del Sol, there are some fantastic, off the beaten track towns within a short drive. You’ll be seeing the real Spain and avoiding the worst of the coastal crowds too.
Head for the old town of Altea with its pretty church and warren of atmospheric streets, or the whitewashed Peniscola. The latter boasts a 13th century castle hewn from the rock, once home to a pope. Game of Thrones fans with a keen eye may spot some locations that served as Meereen.
The walled town of Morella is more than worth the diversion too, an old fortress crumbles romantically while the centre is all narrow streets and artisan textile makers. There’s a similar vibe in Xativa, once ruled by Moorish invaders and Romans. Wander the castle and gorgeous churches, before continuing your coastal sojourn.
See all that Valencia has to offer when you book car hire at Valencia Airport, the perfect place to start your Spanish adventure.

Rental was seamless. No hard sell for excess insurance at the desk, and they make the charging easy by providing their own RFID card so it's gets centrally billed. They gave me the option of a telsa or polestar. Went with the dual motor Telsa, which had a great range. They email you the condition report for you to check on collection. There were a few marks missing, but were small so didn't raise it. No issues on return and was only charged £43 for 900 miles of EV charging. You need to return with the battery above 80% to avoid them charging you, but plenty of chargers within 10miles so no issue. We use again.

My renting experience at Hertz Valencia Airport was better than what I expected. First of all once you get to the airport you will see that their office right at the airport building is closed but has a sign that it’s open at their parking location which is walking distance from the airport building right as you exit the building and follow signs to go across to the rental parking lot! Super easy and helpful when you not familiar with the area! The gentleman that helped me with my car rental went above and beyond to accommodate or answer any of my questions, to make my experience easy! I would like to Thank Ximo for such great customer service experience! Most definitely will recommend this location and this individual to anyone who is looking for renting a car while in Valencia!

FAQs About Car Hire
At the time of rental, the driver must present a valid national driver's license which has been held for at least 1 year.
Exceptions:
* For the following vehicle groups you must present a valid national driver's licence held for at least 2 years:
(G5) Maserati Levante 4x4 - GPS (K) BMW 5 Series or similar (K6) Mercedes E-Class or similar (L) BMW 7 Series (L5) BMW 7 Series or similar (L6) Mercedes CLS or similar (Q6) BMW 4 Series or similar (S) BMW X5 (S5) Volvo XC90 (S6) BMW X5 or similar (Y) Volvo XC60 or similar (Z5) Mercedes V Class |
* To rent the following vehicle groups you must present a valid national driver's licence held for at least 3 years:
(N1) Jaguar E-PACE (P1) Range Rover Evoque (R5) Ford Mustang (U5) Range Rover Vogue or similar |
For all Non-European Union renters, it is highly recommended your national driver's license must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP). An IDP translates the national license into various languages and is on its own, without the national license, not acceptable. If a license issued outside the European Union cannot be read or understood, then it is not acceptable, unless accompanied by a translation from the official source, e. g. embassy headed paper. This includes licenses which are only partly translated, Japanese and all Arabic licenses etc.
Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China/ Japan/ Korea may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form. Hertz China/ Japan/ Korea will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China/ Japan/ Korea Corporate seal. A scanned copy of the original licence will appear on the Certification form. The Certification form is valid until the expiry date of the Driver's Licence. Both the Certification and the original licence (with an International Driving Permit strongly recommended by Police authorities in Europe) MUST be produced at the time of rental.
If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original licence together with an authorised translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licences are acceptable worldwide.
Please also refer to "Passport/Identity Card Information”.
Extra day is charged after 29 minutes over 24 hour rental period.

Petrol / Diesel vehicles:
If you do not take our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) – see Fuel Policy for details - and do not return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, we will fill the tank for you and charge you for the costs we incur and the service we provide in doing so.
Our costs include purchasing, storing and managing our own fuel supplies, or refilling the tank off site, plus manpower and administration costs. Our service, of course, saves you from taking the time to find a local fuel station and refilling the vehicle yourself.
The refuelling charge for your rental will be calculated as follows:
1.2 x weekly pump price taken from the EU Commission Energy website plus €19.97 (including tax) service charge.
We will show the actual cost of refuelling on your rental agreement when you pick up your vehicle.
Electric vehicles:
Hertz will record the vehicle battery charge at the start of the rental. Failure to return the vehicle in the same state of charge as at pick-up will result in a recharging fee per missing kWh.
Please see recharging policy
