Top tips for hiring a car in Gibraltar
- Renting a car in Gibraltar will be your best bet if you want to explore this unique territory at your own pace. There are public buses in Gibraltar, but they tend to focus mainly on the capital city. None of the public transportation runs to the nature reserve at the Upper Rock, so you will definitely need rental cars in Gibraltar if that nature reserve is on your must-see list while you are there. With a rental car, you will also be able to explore the area more quickly, as you will not need to make as many stops as the bus.
- Roads in Gibraltar are generally in good condition, but usually they are narrow and you will typically be sharing them with pedestrians. As a result, it is necessary to drive slowly and keep your eye out for pedestrians, bikers, and other potential hazards. As it is a small country, the rules of the road tend to be the same across the board, but always keep your eye on the road and drive attentively.
- If you are planning to get rental cars in Gibraltar in the company of your kids, you should be aware of the child seat laws in this country. Kids up to the age of 3 are required to be seated in a child safety seat in the back of the vehicle. Kids under the age of 12 are not allowed to sit in the front seat of the car under any circumstances. Seat belts are mandatory for everyone in the vehicle.
- There are some rental car agencies in Gibraltar that will allow you to drive into neighboring countries such as Spain and Portugal. However, other countries may be restricted. Always check with your rental provider before driving across international borders to make sure you have completed the correct paperwork and purchased any additional insurance before making an international trip in a rental car from Gibraltar.

Even though Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, you should drive on the right-hand side of the road in this country. The roads are typically in good condition, but they tend to be narrow and steep, so it is necessary to drive very carefully. You will also find that there just are not that many roads in the country, so the ones you will be driving on will likely be congested. There are no highways, and most of what you will be driving on are small side streets and rural roads.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gibraltar?
Rental agencies typically require you to be 21 years old in order to rent a car here. However, a young driver’s surcharge may apply if you are under 25 years old. Also, certain vehicle categories, such as luxury or exotic, may be restricted to drivers 25 and older. You should possess a valid driver’s license from your home country, a valid passport, an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) if your license is not written in the Roman alphabet, and a major debit or credit card in your name in order to pick up Gibraltar rental cars.
How are gas prices in Gibraltar?
In Gibraltar, you will be buying gas by the liter, just like in the rest of Europe. The price for a liter of gas in Gibraltar is typically around 1.05 GBP (1.34 USD). This translates to about 4.20 GBP (5.38 USD) per gallon. Gas prices here tend to fluctuate quite rapidly, so be sure to buy when you see a low price.
What are the speed limits in Gibraltar?
As Gibraltar is a small country with a limited number of roads, they have implemented a universal speed limit on all roads, both urban and rural. The maximum speed allowed in the country is 50 km/h (31 mph). There are no highways. It is also quite rare that you will even get to reach this maximum speed limit, as the roads are narrow and there can be a lot of traffic. It’s important to always drive carefully and pay attention to the surrounding conditions regardless of the posted speed limit.
