Car Hire at Jerez Airport
Car Hire
Although you will see a large number of car companies offering rental, only five actually have branches inside the terminal building. The rest are a shuttle bus ride away.
The on site agencies are obviously more convenient to book through, as after you collect your luggage and sign off the necessary car hire documentation at the desk outside the arrivals hall you can pick up your from the car park.
When driving your Jerez Airport hire car do not assume that because you are in a foreign country you are exempt from their driving regulations. The Spanish police are really tightening up on traffic violations and you should be aware that they are divided into three categories:
Very serious or "muy grave" incur fines over €302 or suspension for up to three months and can be enforced for refusal to take a breath test; exceeding the speed limit by 50%; reckless driving; driving in the wrong direction against traffic and carrying 50% more passengers than seats.
Serious or "grave" incur fines range from €91 to €302 with possible suspension and include: speeding in excess of 50%; dangerous parking; driving without lights or throwing an object out of the car which could cause an accident or fire.
Minor or "menor" incur fines up to €91 for parking tickets. Offenders can obtain a 30% discount for prompt payment but non residents and tourists are usually fined on the spot.
Driving in Jerez
The roads surrounding Jerez are well maintained and signposted, but Jerez city centre is another matter entirely! The signage isnt that great with a number of one way streets and pedestrianised areas to confuse things further. So leave plenty of time to get to your destination there and be prepared to get lost a few times!
There are a number of underground car parks near the centre: one of the largest on four floors is at Plaza del Arenal which is ideal shopping and the old city area and Alacazar. Other car parks can be found at Plaza Mamelon, Calle Larga near the Rotonda de los Casinos, Calle Lanceria, Calle San Agustin, Calle Corredera, Calle Puerto and Plaza Madre de Dios which is very close to the train and bus stations.
