Driving is a bit more complicated here than in the US. Roundabouts are negotiable with other drivers and less strict about lanes and right of way. Speed limits are more complicated and roads are not straight. Light changes are shorter and there are different stages. Something to keep in mind.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Valencia
Renting a car is the best way to explore the city of Valencia, which is nestled in the Mediterranean coast of Spain. The local weather is typically warm with little rainfall throughout the whole year, which provides optimal conditions for drivers. Most beautiful local beaches, such as Playa de Malvarossa and Playa de Patacona, are within easy reach, and a car is the perfect option for travelers looking to explore the coastal area outside the city. Other destinations, such as the beach town of Jávea on the Costa Blanca or Buñol (where the La Tomatina festival takes place), are only short rides away from Valencia.
All the car hire agencies, can be found at Valencia Airport (VLC). The airport, also known as Manises airport, is located 8 km (5 miles) away from the city. The hire car counters can be found on the ground floor of Terminal 1. Both terminals are located in the same main building and are well connected. If you're visiting Valencia during the summer months, make sure you book your hire car in advance as demand is fairly high.
The city of Valencia itself isn't hard to navigate, but make sure you have some sort of navigation system, as one-way streets are frequent and the medieval street planning can be confusing for tourists. Most autopistas (motorways) in Spain are toll roads, and travelers who don't hold a European Union driver's license must have an international driver's license. Automatic vehicles tend to be more expensive than manual, so if you're not used to driving stick, make sure you sort your hire car out in advance.
Because of the siesta period (a break when workers take between 2 p.m. and 4-5 p.m.), big cities like Valencia experience four rush hours: 8 to 9:30 a.m., 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., 3:30 to 5 p.m., and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Driving around the coast in the summer months also means more traffic, so avoid the congestion by driving either early in the morning or late in the evening.
If you’re booking your Valencia car hire for a family holiday, it’s well worth noting the child seat laws that you will need to abide by. In Spain, the child seat laws require that children under 135 cm in height must use an appropriate child restraint system (CRS) when travelling in a vehicle. It’s also important to be aware that the type of CRS required depends on the child's weight and height, as well as the type of vehicle. If your child is younger than 15 months, they must be in a rear-facing child seat, while kids that are older than 15 months must use a seat with a 5-point harness. Finally, children that weigh over 18 kg and up to 135 cm in height must use a booster seat with a seat belt.
Before you start driving your cheap car hire in Valencia, it is important you know about the drink-driving laws, especially if you’re planning on having the odd night out. The drink-driving laws are strict and enforced rigorously. The legal limit for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.5 grams per litre of blood, which is lower than in many other countries. If you are caught driving with a BAC above the legal limit, you can face severe penalties, including fines, licence suspension, and even imprisonment in some cases.
When you arrange cheap car hire in Valencia and want to drive your car around the city centre, note that there are a few vehicle restrictions in place. Firstly, Valencia has a Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in the city centre, which restricts access to certain types of vehicles based on their emissions. Only vehicles with a green environmental badge are allowed to enter this zone. This restriction applies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Furthermore, the historic centre is restricted to traffic, with limited access allowed only to certain types of vehicles, such as taxis and delivery vehicles. Private cars are not allowed to enter this area unless they have a permit.

Worst ever customer service. Stupid processes. It all started w not being forewarned about needing an international drivers license! This cost us over €100 and we’ve not needed one anywhere in Europe in 5 years of travelling. Things did not get better after that. You get what you pay for.

No car was there and no shuttle was available. No sign or anything. Went with another service and will be charging back the fee.

Great experience! Easiest car rental experience ever, once we have found the shuttle! There is no signage, just follow the P6 sign and the shuttle will pick you.
Some Valencia car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Valencia.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Valencia car hire.
