Hire an affordable rental car to explore Granada and Andalusia
Andalusian Spain is a place of splendid wonder and colourful culture. Pick up a Granada Airport rental car to experience all that this unique region has to offer.
Its position at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and proximity to the Alboran Sea explains Granada’s display of blended cultural heritage. The Spanish experience you dream of: sipping sangria, sampling tapas and dancing flamenco until all hours awaits you in Granada, but also so much more. Expect tinges of Arab lifestyle and the energy of a plucky student population. The city’s architecture, street life, artistic stylings all tell a story of how this spirited city came to be.
The Alhambra is an attraction in its own right - the Moorish citadel and palace stun visitors with its incredible Islamic decor and beautifully kept grounds.
From Granada, you are well-placed to reach many other Spanish cities for a short day trip, or, a lengthy road trip in your car hire may be in order. Head west toward Malaga or Seville for more Andalusian beauty, or east toward Murcia or Valencia. Heading north will take you to the bustling capital of Madrid.
