The wonderful climate of sunny Spain lends to people wanting and in some cases needing an air conditioned car hire. In some parts of Spain the climate is not always so good and air conditioning is not essential but just maybe preferred. In southern Spain temperatures in August can reach over 100 degrees and an air conditioned car hire is an absolute must.
Most of the cars in Spain have air conditioning as standard unlike British cars where it is sometimes an optional extra. If in doubt when ordering your car put in a specific request for air conditioning but as it?s almost a standard item you should not encounter any problems.
Lots of cars may have a sun roof and / or sun blinds but these are no substitute for the luxury of having air conditioned car hire at your disposal and only serve to send hot air around the vehicle and not actually cool the inside of the car down.
A standard air conditioned saloon hire car is far more popular in Spain and hotter countries generally than a soft top car. If you have a soft top car it is more comfortable to keep the roof on with the air conditioning on than have the roof down and the hot sun beating down. Roof down and air conditioning on would not be effective.
When you are on a long journey in the hot weather and especially with children or babies on board we all know the importance of keeping them happy and comfortable. Without an air conditioned car a family outing could be very difficult and unpopular with everyone on board spoiling the day out all together.
Most air conditioning systems within the car have clearly marked controls on the dash board and can be operated with ease. Many can be set to automatic mode so that as soon as the engine is turned on the air conditioning system begins to work cooling the car down within minutes of you starting to drive and making your journey as comfortable as possible in the hot weather.
Fuel consumption is not affected to any great extent by the current air conditioning systems installed in modern cars. The effectiveness and cooling level of each system is dependent on the model of the car and the manufacturers design specifications but all do a good job in very hot weather. Once the temperature inside the car is sufficiently cool the temperature can be regulated manually. Again in some car you can set the air conditioning controls to automatic and they will go on and off as required.
So do not be surprised when you are driving through Spain to see all of your fellow drivers with all their windows closed enjoying the comfort of their air conditioned hire car.Wherever you decide to travel throughout Spain and how ever long your journey you can be assured that your journey will be comfortable with an air conditioned vehicle.
