The best car to hire in León depends on your needs mostly. As mentioned, the streets can be narrow in some parts and parking hard to find, so a smaller compact car is usually more manageable but not necessary. If you're with a family, a larger sedan works just fine. There isn't much need for a 4x4 unless you're planning on off-roading or driving into the mountains. The roads in León are well designed and accommodate all car types.

It's important to keep an eye out for signposts when driving through León and the rest of Spain, as speed limits can change regularly. As a standard rule, if you're driving within the city, stick to the speed limit of 50 km/h unless otherwise directed. Rural roads and roads just outside built-up areas have a limit of 90 km/h - 100 km/h depending on what the signposts say. If you're on a major motorway or highway, the speed limit is 120 km/h. Be aware that locals typically don't stick to the speed limit, especially on highways, so be prepared to move over for them to pass.

If you're driving your car hire in León city centre, avoid street parking to be safe. The best places to park are underground car parks, which typically have CCTV cameras. You'll be given a ticket at the barrier when you enter and you'll need to pay the ticket at the machine before going back to your car. You can download the parkme app to pay online for many of these options and others around the city.
