Things You Must Carry In Your Car By Law When Driving In Spain

9th November 2015 by Rainer Hobrack

Spain has a good arrangement of law and order in accordance to transportation. They have a very clear idea about the document that you have to carry while traveling in a vehicle. Here you are required for presenting the documents like: ITV, Permiso de Circulación, Insurance Policy Document, European Accident Agreement, a Valid Driving License as and when demanded.  Thus, all the aforesaid documents are compulsory to carry while traveling a car in Spain.

Spain also restricts you from wearing Flip-Flops while driving. It has been seen that Radar Detectors are prohibited in Spain. At the time of driving you are not supposed to use a Radar Detector. If you got caught doing the same you might be fined heavily for the offense.

Below are the documents that are compulsory to carry while traveling in a car. Documentación-Coche-obligatoria

 

  1. ITV: 

 

ITV is known as ‘Inspección técnica de vehiculos’. You will be given a sticker which you need to place at the top of the windscreen after you pass the ITV. Any car over four years of age can have it and required to keep it in the car with you at all times.

Permiso de Circulación:

This is nothing but a log book in the hands of the owner of the car. It is a document that demonstrates the owner of the vehicle, the plate number of the car along with all other relevant details.

Insurance Policy Document:

The majority of the people know that they carry the insurance policy of the car with them. In case of any sort of traffic accident insurance document is highly necessary. However, it is not strictly compulsory for all journeys.

European Accident Agreement:

It is a Spanish document stating about the European Accident Agreement. This form is vital in the case of an accident, so all the drivers should fill this form in the event of an accident. This helps to get legal protection of the parties involved in the accident. The form contains the insurance policy number, witness details and detail of the people, then be easily called to testify.

A Valid Driving License:

According to the driving rules of the Spain, you should attain minimum ages laid down for residents of Spain. The driver having a foreign driving license should be at or more than the age of 18 years to qualify to drive a motor vehicle in Spain.

Let us know a little more about the Driving in Spain. Transportation in Spain is quite good for the natives as well as for the foreigners. The Spain Transportation service is currently serving offices, hotels and homes. They have an assortment of vehicles including sedans, stretch SUV, stretch limousines, motor coaches, minibuses and the Airport Express shuttle vans of course. However, they also help you through taking a last minute reservation. Their seats of the vehicle are arranged in such a manner keeping the passenger safety in consideration.

Further Spain Transportation service Company gives you the benefit to follow an easy and convenient mode of accepting the payment through Visa, MasterCard and American Express for your comfort. Often there may be a discrepancy in the amount quoted at the time of reservation and the actual bill amount. The extra charges may be due to the additional service during your trip, including waiting time, extra stops or extending the duration of your charter.
