Car hire at Oviedo Asturias Airport

While parking is relatively easy within the town, it can be difficult to find a no-fee spot on the streets. Additionally, there are a few rules and laws that will direct you to where you can park. Firstly, parking within 5 metres of a bend or intersection is illegal. Look for blue road markings indicating blue zones for on-street parking that will have a time limit of 2 hours. These blue zone parking bays are open from 08:00 to 20:00 every day. Cars are only allowed to park on the right-hand side of the roadway.

Look out for road signs written in both English and Spanish that indicate what the speed limits are, as they may vary from the overall known speed limits. In general, the limits are 120 km/h on expressways and major highways; in urban areas, you'll be driving at 90 km/h; and in built-up areas, it's 60 km/h. In residential areas, the limit is 50 km/h.

All passengers in the front and back seats of a car must wear a seat belt at all times. The blood alcohol limit for driving is 0.05%, and there are strict punishments in Spain and Oviedo. The use of cell phones while driving is not allowed for any purpose. In residential areas, you are not allowed to park next to a yellow line. When driving in the car with kids, if they are under 12 years old, they must be seated in the back of the car, and if they are younger than five, they need to be in an appropriate car seat.
