Every year, solar Spain attracts a huge number of tourists from all over the world. And this is understandable for many reasons - stunning architecture, rich historical heritage, impressive landscapes and amazing Spanish flavor. And most travelers, almost immediately on arrival, try to make their trip the most comfortable and convenient, so they prefer to take cars for rent. Of course, there are those who come by their own transport, but it is quite inconvenient and expensive, because it's easier to fly to Barcelona or Malaga and contact the rental service.
A citizen of the Russian Federation will not be difficult to rent a car, if you take into account all the nuances correctly. First of all, you need to start by choosing a rental car. Spain - the country is bright and colorful, and to fit into the rhythm of life, many tourists prefer to stop picking expensive and luxurious luxury cars that look really remarkable.
Spanish Highways
There are two types of motorways - autovia and autopista. If there are no restrictions on both types, the maximum permissible speed of movement can reach 120 kilometers per hour. By the way, road limiters with the number 12 are found here every couple of meters, so even if you want it is difficult to forget about the ban on exceeding.
In fact, there are a lot of differences between these kinds of roads, but the main one is that the car is free, and the auto-pianist, respectively, is paid. When approaching them, each driver is notified about this by indicating signs on a blue background. But if there is a paid circuit ahead, next to it you can see a round white icon with a red rim on which is written "Peaje" and a black dividing strip inside. On large signposts over motorways, they are quite noticeable, so it is unlikely that they can be confused simply by chance.
In most cases, at the entrance to major cities, motorists are encouraged to choose between a toll-free or toll highway. Many at the same time are wondering, and why in this case, go to the tracks for driving on which you want to pay a few euros, if you can just drive without costs. After all, coatings on both types are of high quality, providing increased convenience of movement. It is especially striking that car tires wear them much less.
How to pay the fare
The payment is systematized, it is quite easy to understand it. It's enough for a traveler to drive once on a paid highway, in the future there will not be any trouble with them. However, even such a simple system has its own subtleties, which must be understood beforehand.
So, to drive through such a motorway, you need to cross the entrance terminal. Here everything is very simple, you need to drive up to any of them, over which a green light lights up, it means that it is free. It is necessary to stop right before the barrier, then to the left will be directly the terminal - a large yellow locker. Immediately he must issue a ticket, while the driver himself does not have to press anywhere, it must be taken. After that, the barrier will open and the car can move forward.
The ticket is very important to keep, because it indicates the time of entry on the highway, and the final amount is considered based on this data. At these stages there should not be any difficulties, but further the congress is expected from this path.
Moving on signs or by means of the navigator it is necessary to move down and move towards the terminals for payment. Some Spanish cars are equipped with remote payment systems, they pass without stopping. Here there are two types of equipment - designed directly for cars with the appropriate device, as well as general ones that can be used for departure.
There are several ways to pay:
- By bank card;
- Cash through the relevant equipment;
- And also pay with the operator.
But the latter kind is losing relevance and is now not available at all congresses, so you need to be ready to work exclusively with technology.
