If driving in Spain, your car must have a V16 emergency beacon and reflective jacket. Ensure hire vehicles meet safety and Low Emission Zone (ZBE) requirements and check ZBE compliance before driving or parking in major city centres to avoid fines.

Depending on why you’re travelling and how long you plan to stay, you may require a visa for travel to the Schengen area. Check the European Entry and Exit (EES) and visa rules before you travel. If you’re a dual national of a European country, check whether the EES applies to you and what passport you should enter on. There may be delays at border crossings (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Spain.
