Driving in Spain with a US license
- Your US driver’s license is valid for short visits. We recommend carrying an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside it — an inexpensive, official translation of your license.
- Spain drives on the right, just like in the US — no adjustment needed.
- Madrid Low Emission Zone (Madrid 360): all our cars carry the required environmental sticker, so you can drive into the city center legally.
- Tolls & fuel: most highways are toll-free, and you simply return the car with a full tank.
