Gibraltar car rentals

The small country of Gibraltar is like small replica of an English city because it is British Heritage. Gibraltar is easy to reach for American travelers via a short stopover in the UK or via Spain. Renowned for nice weather and reasonable beaches, Gibraltar is best explored via car hire.

Highlights

Gibraltar boasts some wonderful monuments, nice beaches and a range of other outdoor activities as well. Many Americans like to spend time whale and dolphin watching. The country is also famous for its monkeys, which make for an interesting and playful attraction.

There are also many colonial style buildings and monuments like the Fortifications of Gibraltar. One of the best beaches is Rosia Bay, which is great for shopping, sun bathing and a range of water sports as well. Using car rental on Gibraltar allows one to explore the wonders of this small but fascinating territory.

Weather

Gibraltar boasts four distinct seasons and is renowned for being warm during the winter thanks to its location on the Mediterranean Sea. The best time to visit is normally during the summer from June to September; these are warmest months and July and August usually have no rain. However, this is when tourism reaches its peak, so crowds may be an issue.

Driving

As Gibraltar is an overseas territory of the UK, you can expect to find the roads and driving rules similar to those in the UK. However unlike Britain, driving is done on the right. During the summer high season, compare car hire rates in advance to secure a better deal.
