Minivan rental in Leon

Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Leon are: Citroen Picasso, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, VW Touran, Peugeot 807 7 seater, Opel Zafira and others.

Standard capacity of a minivan in Spain is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in Spain a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Leon.

Before leaving the parking garage in Leon, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Travelers, who expect to save on traveling on toll roads, can always use free highways (Leteral). Their main drawback is that they are very winding, so it will take much longer to reach the point of destination by a free road than by a toll highway. However, free roads are often located in very beautiful places.
If a local driver “winks” with his car’s beams, this sign can be interpreted in a number of ways. This way local drivers can warn others of the presence of road patrol, ask to give way, or simply express their anger.
If there is a need to park a car for a long time, it is better to use the services of underground parking. Finding a free parking space in the central part of the city is always very difficult.

National cuisine has a lot of interesting features; many local chefs prepare dishes following old recipes, fully respecting the culinary tradition. The menu of Leon restaurants would certainly appeal to those who prefer meat dishes. Cecina beef cooked following a special recipe and black morcilla sausage remain the most popular and desired specialties. The place of honor in the national menu is held by soups. Fans of original delicacies would like the spicy garlic soup. Lovers of classics are certainly recommended to taste vegetable soup with noodles.
The favorite local drink is beer; in evenings bars and pubs are full of visitors. Ordering a favorite brand of beer, it is worth considering one important feature. Traditional pint of beer here is called ‘una caña,’ and those who want to order a small glass of beer have to ask for ‘un corto.’ In addition to beer, guests will be served a dish with a variety of snacks; treats are often stodge and hearty.

Local bakery is also worth noting; specialty bakeries are also popular among tourists, as well as fashionable restaurants. It is believed that local monks were founders of this culinary tradition; all branded desserts are affordable and very easy to prepare. Perfect sponge cakes, bizcochos de San Lorenzo and toscas de la Virgen, as well as the original dessert called ‘yemas de Santa Teresa’ made of egg yolks, will satisfy any sweet tooth. Pastries are usually served for breakfast; it is simply impossible to imagine the morning meal in a local cafe without hot chocolate and churros biscuits.
