FAQ – Car rental in Valencia
What is the minimum age for car rental in Valencia, and is there an extra charge for young drivers?
In Valencia, renting through Auto Europe Israel with Budget, Europcar, Dollar, and Drivalia, the minimum age is 21. Most groups require at least one year of driving experience (higher categories may require 2 years). Drivers under the age of 25 are usually subject to a young driver surcharge ranging from 8-30 euros per day (with a charge cap), and there may be restrictions on renting premium or 7-seater vehicles for young drivers.
Is an Israeli driving license sufficient, or is an international license required?
When picking up a car in Valencia through Auto Europe Israel, a valid Israeli plastic driving license and passport are required, and sometimes an International Driving Permit (IDP) is also needed. Vendors in Valencia such as Budget, Europcar, and Dollar require an IDP when the license is not in Latin characters, and in practice, many counters request an IDP even for other foreign licenses; Drivalia may require it depending on rate and branch. To avoid refusal of car handover, it is recommended to arrive with an Israeli license, IDP, and a credit card in the name of the main driver.
What does the basic insurance package in Valencia through Auto Europe Israel include, and what additional insurance is recommended?
Most rates in Valencia include CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and TP (Theft Protection) with a deductible, as well as third-party liability insurance according to Spanish law. The deductible requires blocking a deposit on the main driver's credit card. Coverages such as windshields, tires, mirrors, roof, and undercarriage are generally not included. It is advisable to consider extensions such as reducing/eliminating the deductible (Super CDW/Zero Excess), WUG coverage for windshields and tires, expanded roadside assistance, and PAI (Personal Accident Insurance). Exact coverage details appear on the Auto Europe Israel voucher according to the supplier and group.
Can an additional driver be added, and what is the associated cost?
Yes. When renting in Valencia through Auto Europe Israel, an additional driver can be added at Budget, Europcar, Dollar, and Drivalia for a typical daily fee of about 6-12 euros per driver (sometimes with a charge cap). The additional driver must be present at pick-up with a valid license (and sometimes IDP), meet age and experience requirements, and be registered in the contract. In some rates booked via Auto Europe Israel, an additional driver is included at no cost - this will be noted on the voucher.
What is the fuel policy in Valencia - does the car need to be returned with a full tank?
The common policy at Budget, Europcar, and Dollar in Valencia is Full to Full: Receive the car with a full tank and return it full.

Tips for car rental in Valencia
Looking to rent a car abroad? We've gathered four useful and concise tips from Auto Europe Israel's experience to help you book correctly, save costs, and avoid surprises - from booking to return. Includes insurance, deposit, toll roads, and border crossings.
Ensure a suitable credit card for deposit
Prepare an international physical credit card in the name of the main driver with sufficient coverage for blocking. Debit/prepaid cards are usually not accepted. Check the deposit amount and card validity.
Know the insurance conditions and the deductible
Check what is included: CDW/TP and third-party. Consider coverage for deductible elimination or expansions for windscreens, tires, roof, and undercarriage. Verify local exceptions and keep insurance confirmations throughout the entire period.
Document the car condition at pick-up and return
Perform a full circle scan and note any scratch or damage on the form. Take photos/videos including the mileage and fuel gauge. Upon return, request proper return confirmation to avoid later charges.
Toll roads, vignettes, and limited traffic zones
Check if a vignette or toll device is required and the cost. In many countries, there are ZTL/LEZ; avoid entering without approval to prevent fines after the holiday. Keep payment receipts.
