Traffic Information
Our car hire desk at Valencia airport is clearly signposted in the arrivals hall. Once you have completed the paperwork it is only a short drive to the city centre. Valencia Joaquín Sorolla Train Station is on Calle San Vicente Martir near the old town and Bailén or Jesús Metro stations. Our office can be found outside the main concourse opposite the Correos or Post Office.
Driving in the historic heart of Valencia with its extremely narrow cobbled streets is not for the faint-hearted but the rest of the city is reasonably easy to navigate. As in all large cities traffic builds up during the morning and evening rush hours while the school holiday months of July and August are always more congested. Mountain and coastal roads away from the town will have steep gradients and hairpin bends but the views more than make up for these. Children under 12 are not allowed to travel in the front seat of Spanish vehicles.
Parking your rental vehicle in Valencia is easy for most of the year but if you are visiting during the famous Fallas festival in March it will be harder to find a space. Blue street zones have pay and display meters and there are several public car parks in the city.
A quick drive around Valencia will reveal the city's mix of old and new architecture ranging from medieval castles and towers to 20th-century Modernist and Art Deco buildings. The city is also home to the Turia Park the largest inner-city park in Europe. It was created when the River Turia was diverted from the city centre. The Holy Grail is another Valencian claim to fame. Rumour has it that a cup on display in Valencia Cathedral is this legendary relic from the Last Supper. While in the cathedral climb to the top of the Miguelete bell tower for great views of the city's roofline and distant mountains. Spend some time browsing the busy Modernist market before enjoying coffee and people-watching in one of the city's many shady plazas and a day must be spent exploring the City of Arts and Science.
The Unique Fallas Festival
The Fallas Festival of Bonfires which is always held in the week of March 19th brings visitors to Valencia from all over the world. This tradition dates back several centuries when carpenters celebrated St Joseph's Day and the arrival of Spring by burning the candle holders they had used during the dark Winter months. This evolved into huge bonfires called Fallas which gradually took on a more human form much like the guys burnt on Bonfire Night in the United Kingdom. These gradually grew to have satirical political messages. The festival today is a week long riot of colour, noise and fireworks.

Excellent, quick, friendly and competent service at the counter. Miguel dit a great job. What I further like about Sixt is the unique app which is informative and covers everything of the whole rental process, even adding pictures of the damages of the care which were not stated in the rental agreement. The whole process is completely paperless. Love it.

Very nice and service orientated lady at the front desk. Helps us with the extras we wanted to have for the rental. Also made a big effort to find us a Mini Cabrio. Also when we brought the car bag, we were very pleased with the service. We’re will definitely rent again at Sixt Valencia!

The main reception staff by the desk was great. Thank you Alejandro for the free upgrade of vehicle model. He was very accommodating and friendly. The car he gave us was newish and very good interface. We were satisfied with the car. But on return they said we had a small scratch by the right front wheel bumper. The reception where you collect the vehicle is quite poorly lit so any small damage you wont be able to see. Retrospectively we should have taken pictures of the car as soon as we got out of the parking lot but there is no where to do this so we just carried on driving. And there is no way on earth we caused the scratch as we had a very secure spacious parking lot where we stayed.

Zero problems despite not taking the full insurance. Friendly staff that was still there at midnight. The car park is conveniently located right next to the terminal. Got a nice looking car with a powerful but frugal diesel engine. Was great to drive and came with android auto but was lacking a reversing camera and keyless access. At Sixt Valencia I'd happily rent cars again.
