In Spain, there are uphill sections on the highway, especially the road from Seville to Ronda is all uphill, so it is best to rent a diesel car if possible, with sufficient power.

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. Moreover, I have not received any violation records through email or regular mail. What's going on? I need an explanation ? 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

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
