Is it safe to have luggage in the car at a paid parking lot? Some friends say that the security in Spain is not good, and people might break the glass and steal the luggage. But the luggage will definitely be in the car before checking in. Do I need to get glass insurance at the car rental company ?

I usually look for underground parking lots. They are a little more expensive, but safer.

I have let go a few times and put them in the trunk. To be honest, this is also about luck, and I strongly recommend buying super insurance plus additional comprehensive insurance. After I scratched it, it was all paid for.

Put in the trunk, not in the back seat. Safety first.

I stayed for one night, drove into the parking lot, and the attendant appeared for the fee. When I picked up the car, the attendant was also there. My luggage is at that hotel, and it's hard to say if there's anyone watching overnight. The parking lot doesn't have a fence or a guard booth, but it still looks safe. After all, there are few outsiders in the small city, mostly tourists. If the luggage is left in the car overnight, don't open the trunk after parking, just cover it up so it's not visible from the outside ? Spain Q&A

Hello, I have a local Spanish driving license, but it is less than one year old. I am 25 years old and I want to rent a car. Do you know if it's possible? Because I looked at almost all the car rental companies in Spain and they all require a driving license to be at least one year old. And I have also sent emails to some car rental companies to ask, but it feels like all the official replies say no, at least one year. So are there any car owners who have had this situation and successfully rented a car? Any car can be rented as long as it is the lowest grade ? Spain Q&A

Seek advice from friends in the group, I received a fine for driving in Spain, and the rental car company notified me by email. I missed the online payment deadline because I checked the email late. I asked the car rental company and they replied that they couldn't arrange the payment for the fine at the moment. They said I have to wait for the fine to be sent to my home, and then they will help me arrange the payment again. I'm a bit confused about this operation because I have already returned to my country. Can the fine be sent to me? If I keep not receiving it and can't pay, will it affect my future visa application or entry into Europe ? Spain Q&A

The choice of this route was made under many premises. First, we took into account the weekends before and after, and on Saturday there was only a direct flight from Shanghai to Barcelona. We considered going from Macau to Barcelona, but the cost was much higher than going in and out at the same time, and we were a group of six people, which was a significant expense. Second, due to the large number of people, we were concerned about the uncertainty of the transfer, so we naturally chose a direct flight. Third, there were many places to play, and choosing to commute by train and plane would result in more time spent at the station and airport, while the cost of renting a car and returning it at a different location was higher than returning it at the same location, so in the end we chose the big closed loop route. Another key issue is that no matter where you enter or exit, the last place to leave is Barcelona. One reason is to put shopping in Barcelona, and the other is to put the most stunning Sagrada Familia as the last viewing point. Before determining the plan, we also thought about it, but 600 kilometers is not too far. Our flight arrives in Barcelona at 8 am on the sixth day, so it won't take us too long to get to Madrid. Two people drive, it's not too tired ? Spain Q&A

I'm not sure about the laws in Spain and Morocco, but I think you should be able to drive a rented car from Spain to Morocco as long as you have the necessary documents and insurance. Please note that you should check with the rental car company and the relevant authorities in both countries to ensure that you comply with all the requirements and regulations.

Dear friends, I would like to ask, when I picked up the car in Barcelona, the rental company charged me 59 euros and I'm not sure what it is for. I have purchased full insurance. Can you please tell me what the charge on the receipt is for? Is it for fuel? (Isn't fuel usually charged for a full tank and returned with a full tank?) ? Spain Q&A

On the highway EP-2 from Barcelona to Zaragoza. Got punctured tyre at the rest stop and then continued on the highway. Someone in a yellow vest pretending to be a police officer helped us. Drove us to the side of the road and then robbed all our backpacks, big loss. Called the police, they said not to rest at that section's rest area, bad guys are watching. If you get a flat tyre, lock your car doors, call the police, wait for the rental car company to rescue you. This happened on January 29, 2020, hope more drivers see this and be careful to avoid it. If possible, don't drive. Flying is safer on that route ? Spain Q&A

Drive for 2 days in Spain. Total 4 days. My credit card has been charged by Avis car rental for several months after I returned the car. Each time it's basically more than 40 euros. Could I have broken the law so many times while driving for 2 days? I can't believe it. I have paid for 3 months in a row, each time more than 40 euros. I'm crying. I drove very steadily on the road, an old driver for many years, and it's impossible for me to break the law so many times.
