Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

You won't need a car for the wedding itself or getting around Almería city. We're providing transportation to and from the venue on the wedding day, and within the city, taxis are readily available. While Uber has limited availability in Almería, you can easily use Cabify as an alternative ride-sharing option. However, if you're planning to explore other destinations in Andalusia or take a road trip during your stay, renting a car would be a great option. Just keep in mind that you'll need an International Driving Permit along with your regular driver's license to rent and drive a car in Spain.
