Welcome to Valencia: A City of Art, Science, and Mediterranean Charm!

Welcome to Valencia, a vibrant city located on Spain’s eastern coast, where history, art, and Mediterranean beauty come together in perfect harmony. Known for its stunning futuristic architecture, lively cultural scene, and sandy beaches, Valencia has something for everyone. Whether you're strolling through the magnificent City of Arts and Sciences, enjoying the buzzing atmosphere at the Mercado Central, or sampling the city's famous paella, you’ll discover a city rich in culture and warmth.


Valencia Joaquín Sorolla Train Station is a major transportation hub, offering high-speed connections to other Spanish cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville. Located just a short distance from the city center, it’s a perfect starting point for those looking to explore Valencia by car. Renting a car at Joaquín Sorolla Train Station gives you the freedom to discover not only the city’s many attractions but also the beautiful surrounding areas.


For city exploration, a compact car is ideal for navigating Valencia’s vibrant streets and finding parking near top spots like the historical center, Turia Gardens, or the City of Arts and Sciences. Valencia's roads are well-maintained, making it a pleasure to drive around the city. You can enjoy scenic views of the Mediterranean coast and picturesque architecture as you move between the city's famous landmarks.

Driving in Valencia

Valencia’s attractions are a blend of modern innovation and historical charm. Start your visit with a trip to the City of Arts and Sciences, an architectural marvel that includes the Oceanographic, the largest aquarium in Europe, and the futuristic Hemisférico cinema. Then, make your way to the Central Market (Mercado Central), where you can sample local produce, meats, and seafood.

For a deeper dive into the city’s history, visit the Valencia Cathedral and climb the Miguelete Tower for panoramic views of the city. The beautiful Turia Gardens, a former riverbed transformed into lush parkland, is a must-visit spot for nature lovers and families.


Driving in Valencia is generally straightforward, but the historic center can be tricky to navigate, with narrow streets and limited parking. However, parking garages and park-and-ride facilities are available, making it easier to explore on foot once you’ve parked your car. Be sure to familiarize yourself with parking regulations and “Zona Azul” (Blue Zone) areas to avoid fines.


Before hitting the road, ensure your rental car includes all necessary documentation, such as your driver’s license, rental agreement, and proof of insurance. Valencia follows right-hand driving, and road signs are clear and easy to follow.

Renting a car in Valencia offers you the perfect opportunity to explore both the city and the surrounding regions. For a day trip, drive to the charming coastal town of Albufera, just 20 minutes south of the city. There, you can enjoy a boat ride on the Albufera Lagoon or relax on the beautiful beaches. If you're a fan of scenic drives, take the route along the coast to the town of Xàtiva, located an hour’s drive away, with its medieval castle and scenic views of the surrounding countryside.


For a true nature escape, head to the Sierra Calderona Natural Park, about 30 minutes from the city. This beautiful mountain range offers hiking trails, fresh air, and stunning views over Valencia’s coastline. Additionally, Valencia’s location makes it a great base for exploring other coastal cities like Alicante or Castellón.


Whether you’re enjoying the city’s art scene, relaxing by the beach, or taking a scenic road trip through the Valencian countryside, a hire car provides the freedom to make the most of your time in the area.

*Hassle-Free Desk: The dreaded moment when the rental company hits you with upsells, extra inspections, or credit card dramas—turning what should be a quick pick-up into a drawn-out negotiation.

Third-Party Protection: What you need to know
Some companies might call it 'Full Protection' or 'Premium Protection', but we're here to tell you the facts.
Third-party protection does cover you fully against damage costs, just like our best product. However, the rental desk experience? That's still going to be the same as if you'd picked the basic option.
What is Third-Party Protection?It's an independent coverage that protects you from damage costs the rental company could charge. It works well but doesn't change how things go down at the rental desk.If you're interested in third-party protection, Rental Cover is our preferred partner. You can learn more or purchase coverage directly by visiting their website.
Check them out
What is expected at the Rental Desk:Even with third-party protection, you'll still face the usual desk drama—deposits, credit card holds, and those upsell attempts. While you're financially protected, the hassle at the desk doesn't go away.We believe in keeping things clear: while third-party protection covers you well, the customer experience remains basic.
View Protection Products
The Role of the Car Rental Company:Rental companies insure their cars, and they need you to either buy their protection or leave a deposit. Third-party protection takes care of the financial risks, but the rental company still holds the cards at pick-up.Want to avoid the hassle entirely? Read more about our Best Protection, which keeps both your wallet and your rental process smooth.
