Car rental in
Seville

Driving in Seville doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and may even feel familiar, as Spanish traffic follows similar local rules and urban traffic patterns.

Traffic Rules Overview

As anywhere, follow Spanish traffic regulations for a safe journey.

• Many streets in Seville’s old town are pedestrian-only or have restricted access; always follow local signage
• Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, even in the backseat
• Speed limits are 50 km/h (31 mph) in towns, 100 km/h (62 mph) on main roads, 120 km/h (75 mph) on highways

Road Conditions & Navigation

Seville offers well-maintained roads with some narrow streets in older neighborhoods.

• Expect one-way routes and limited access near landmarks like the Cathedral and Santa Cruz
• Some streets are restricted to residents or taxis
• Several bridges connect different parts of Seville; use them to bypass city-center traffic and reach Triana or La Cartuja easily

Parking Advice

Look for public garages outside the old quarter, such as at Prado de San Sebastián or Plaza de Armas. Street parking is limited and often reserved for residents. Avoid narrow lanes in the historic center and always check signs for blue-zone (paid) or green-zone (residential) restrictions.

Fueling Instructions

Fuel stations are abundant in Seville.

• Most stations accept cards; cash is optional
• Check your vehicle’s fuel type before refueling
• Fill up before venturing into rural areas outside the city

Tolls

Driving within Seville is toll-free, offering easy access throughout the city. However, when traveling beyond the metropolitan area, be prepared for tolls on certain regional highways. Most major routes, like the AP-4 between Seville and Cádiz, are now toll-free, but always check your GPS for current toll updates.
