You can use small or large cars here; the roads in Mataro are wide, with only a few narrow streets. You can choose a small car if travelling alone or in a small group with less luggage. This way, you can easily manoeuvre the streets and turns, despite driving on congested and busy streets. However, if you plan to drive far from the city and travel as a larger group, consider driving a larger car. A big vehicle has more space and better performance, meeting your travel needs.

The speed limit when using car hire in Mataro depends on where you're driving. The city is strict about the speed limits, and violations could lead to heavy fines. If driving in built-up zones such as schools, hospitals and residential areas, the maximum speed limit is 20 km/h (12 mph). Maintain a speed limit of 120 km/h (75 mph) when driving on motorways. When driving on urban roads, the maximum speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph), and it’s 80 km/h (50 mph) outside urban areas. The city has speed limit signs in most zones of the streets to guide drivers on the required speed limit in different areas.

The Mataro city centre is a wise place to park hire cars because of space and security. SABA Montserrat Public Car Park charges around €20 (£17) per day, SABA Can Xammar Public Car Park charges about €10 (£8.50), Parkia Tomas Y Valiente Juzgados De Mataro charges about €28 (£24) and SABA Placa Santa Anna charges approximately €13 (£11) for about 16 hours of parking. Thus, consider the rates before parking to avoid inconvenience, as most car park rates differ. You can access the city using a bus if you park in car parks outside the city centre.
