Spain has warm winters, so many homes don't even have heating. However, there are snowfalls and associated traffic jams. So it's worth thinking about which car to choose – and then booking it for the dates you need on this website.

Let's take a look at each class of car for hire in Spain in winter:

✅ Compact cars and economy class

These are best if you are staying in the city or on the coast and are planning many short trips rather than one long journey.

With this type of car, you will save on fuel and won't have to spend a long time looking for a parking space.

Small cars are convenient in narrow city streets and are suitable for Alicante, Malaga, Marbella, and trips along the coast. If you are concerned that something might happen to the car while it is parked in the city, add the PREMIUM package with extended insurance to your SOLO car rental.

🚙 Crossovers and SUVs

If you are planning a holiday outside the city - in the mountains of Guadalest, Alpujarras, or Sierra de las Nieves, or you have planned a complex route throughout Spain, where you will have to drive from city to city, a small compact city car will no longer be suitable. You need a crossover or SUV — they are more stable on wet roads, have higher ground clearance in case of snow, and are generally more comfortable on long journeys.

🚐 Station wagons, family cars, and multi-seat vans

For long trips with a large family, where everyone has luggage, it is better to rent a car with plenty of space. In winter, this will not be expensive, even if you are staying in Spain for a long time.

✨ Premium and luxury

Have you always wanted to drive along the coast in an elegant car? Winter is the best time to rent premium cars, because during the off-season you can easily rent a high-end car for a reasonable price, and there are more affordable models available.

Long-term rental
