KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gijón
- Car hire in Gijon enables you to have more freedom on your travels. You can drive wherever you want, whenever you want, without the need for transfers during the journey. For example, you can drive to Deva in about 12min. This journey takes in excess of 1 hour if you were to go by bus and you would also have to adhere on the bus schedule too.
- Oviedo Airport (OVD) is one of the nearest terminals to Gijon. This airport boasts a wide selection of car hire companies, so you can find the ideal vehicle with ease. After passing through immigration and picking up your belongings, you can locate the car hire branches easily. For instance, Budget can be found in the airport terminal, whilst Thrifty requires you to take a short shuttle ride to the branch. Your Gijon car hire provider will ask for a valid payment method, current ID and the completion of documentation before you can set off in your car.
- Using a car hire in Gijon, you will see that it’s a popular coastal city in the north of Spain. In general, driving here might seem a bit different to driving in the UK. For example, a flashing amber light means you can drive as long as pedestrians aren’t crossing. Keep an eye out for locals and tourists crossing the road as will. Even though jaywalking is a law in Spain, it isn’t always adhered to. It’s good practise to regularly check your mirrors for bikes and mopeds too, as these are popular modes of transport in the city.
- When driving a Gijon hire car, you will see the roads get very chaotic, especially during the weekday rush hour when locals head to and from work. This is normally from approximately 8:00 to 9:30 and about 18:00 to 19:00. If you aren’t a confident driver, it’s advisable to avoid the roads during these times and travel either late in the morning or early in the afternoon. Av. de la Costa is one of the busiest roads in the city, so if you want to drive on a quieter road, you can try a back road, such as Av. Manuel Llaneza.
