KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lugo
- Opting for car hire in Lugo will give you the opportunity to explore this beautiful region on your own time. While some public transport is available in Lugo, local timetables may require you to make transfers on your journey, which can be confusing and add to your overall travel time. Hiring a car in Lugo also lets you visit popular attractions outside of the city, which are not accessible on public transport. This includes scenic locations, such as the Acea do Rei Chiquito and the Ruta Dos Muinos hiking area.
- The nearest airport that serves Lugo is Santiago–Rosalía de Castro Airport (SCQ), which is located around a 1h 15min drive from the Lugo city centre. Passengers arriving here will find numerous on-site car hire companies where they can pick up their vehicle and get straight on the road. You will find these car hire desks located inside the Arrivals area, next to Duty-Free, and in the main entrance foyer, near the luggage collection area.
- Choosing car hire in Lugo is a great way to explore the city and the surrounding areas. When you’re driving in the town, you may find the local driving style quite aggressive compared with British roads. Make sure you are ready to move at traffic lights, junctions and roundabouts, and try to keep up with the traffic flow or pull over to allow overtaking. Driving on rural roads, you will generally find that traffic moves quite quickly and that the highways are smooth and well-maintained. If you are passing through rural towns and villages, you should keep your speed low in case you encounter pedestrians or animals on the road.
- You are most likely to encounter traffic congestion on Lugo roads during the weekday rush hour. In Spain, rush hour is usually around 08:00-09:30 and 18:30-20:30. Traffic may also be heavy before and after lunch, as Spanish workers take a long lunch break and often travel home to eat. If you want to avoid traffic on the roads, it is best to travel between 11:00 and 17:00. You will not encounter as much traffic on rural roads around Lugo, although the A54, which connects with Santiago de Compostela, may be busy during rush hour and in the summer months.
- Book your car hire in Lugo at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

What type of car is recommended for driving in Lugo?
When you choose car hire in Lugo, you may want to think about the type of driving that you want to do during your stay. If you want to stay mainly in the city centre, a compact car may best suit your needs. Lugo’s city centre has quite narrow streets with heavy traffic and tight turns. A small car will help you squeeze into tight spaces and merge in more easily with slow-moving traffic. However, if you plan to travel outside of the city, a standard-size vehicle with a larger engine will give you more power for keeping up with traffic on faster roads.

When you’re driving in Spain, remember that you will see speed limit signs displayed in km/h rather than mph. In urban areas, the speed limit is usually 20-50 km/h (10-30 mph). Keep an eye on the signs, as the speed limit may change frequently throughout the town. Meanwhile, on rural roads, this limit goes up to 90 km/h (55 mph). If you’re travelling on the motorway in Spain, you can drive at up to 120 km/h (75 mph).
