Can I hire a car in France and drive to Spain (and visa versa)?

The majority of car hire companies do allow you to travel across borders in Western Europe. Therefore it is fine to take your hire car from France to Spain and back again. We ask that you let the rental agent know of your planned itinerary, as additional daily fees may apply. The fees are to cover the cost of any additional insurance you may need. It is also worth noting that different countries will have their own requirements as to what you must carry with you, for example Spain requires that you must carry a high visibility vest. Please check these requirements with the car hire agent at the time of booking.
