When visiting Tarragona and looking to rent a car to get around during your holiday, we recommend renting a small compact vehicle that get you to the places you need to go easily and safely. Tarragona is well-known for its narrow streets and one-way systems that are much easier to manage when driving a smaller vehicle. Difficult turns, as well as fitting into tight parking spaces, will be much more straightforward in a compact car, especially when it can be a little difficult to find ample street parking space in the city centre.

Once you’ve got hold of your vehicle, you’ll want to get going and cruise around Tarragona visiting all sorts of places but remember it’s important to keep to the local speed limits, driving safely and avoiding any potential problems. So, respect the speed limits of 30 km/h on urban roads with one-way in each direction, and 50 km/h for urban roads with two lanes going in the same direction.

When it comes to car hire in Tarragona it’s well advised that once you’ve driven into the city, you already know where the best places to park are situated. The city is full of paid parking areas, as well as free parking areas outside of the centre, so it depends if you don’t mind paying when you’re visiting the more central areas. The green, blue, and orange parking zones for street parking have very cheap costs, ranging from 1.50 € a day to 4 € for 2 hours. You can also find plenty of car parks with the blue ‘P’ sign that charge only 4.50 € a day.
