Parking: things to know when renting a car

Parking rules both for hired cars, and other motor vehicles in Madrid, depend on the days of week, the time of day, and even months.

While parking is a blue zone it is required to purchase a special parking coupon. It is available in a nearby standing automated device: from Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. At weekends the working time is from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The coupon fee amounts to 1,5 EUR per hour. The closer to the center you are, the more expensive is the parking coupon. The automated device will calculate the cost itself.

If there is a need of car parking for a long period of time, you are welcome to use the services of the underground parking zones, where there is an obligatory indicator of unoccupied parking lots right at the entry pass. The parking fee can be paid while entering the parking zone, at a checkout counter or at fuel filling station. The price starts from 22 EUR per day.

During a siesta time, as well as on Sunday, it is possible to find a toll-free parking zone in the city. Such zones are marked with a while line. But if you see a parking sign for people with disabilities, you should know that it is forbidden to park here any other motor vehicle. Otherwise, your car, booked in Madrid, will be towed away, leaving you a sticker with a call number.

Admissible alcohol limit

The top admissible alcohol limit is 0,5%. If your driving experience is less than 24 months, the highest allowed blood alcohol content for you is 0,3%.

Exceeding the maximum permissible level of alcohol entails a penalty of 500 Euro. The refusal of consent to pass a blood alcohol content test is also subject to a penalty of 500 Euro.

We had a great time on the roads of Germany. We tested the famous avtobahns. For this purpose we rented quite prestigious cars. Moreover, we paid for the rental a very low price due to this resource. There were no problems at all.

We've got tired of traveling on arranged tours. All of them are a bit primitive. Recently we've decided to visit Greece by car. Impressions are quite different and you can see as much as possible, but the level of spending is much lower. We've rent a car via this site. We've found everything there, chose a car and paid for it. Everything is very simple, understandable and convenient. I recommend it to everybody.

I've already traveled about half of Europe. I rent a car and go wherever I want. I've used this resource for severa times. I've always managed to find and book what I need. There is always a large package of options, included in the cost, so you avoid overpaying. I like to rent expensive cars. I've already recommended this site to all my friends. It's nice to organze travel via this site.

Among the numerous specialized car aggregators and search engines, this resource shows options that are missed by other resources because of the filters. Several times, I've found the most profitable offers here. Now I use only this aggregator and I'm confident in the quality of the search.
