The centre of Nerja and its main tourist areas can get very congested during the summer holiday season. If that's when you're visiting, and you intend to spend most of your time in the resort town, choose a compact city car for the best convenience. If you need something bigger, choose an SUV. These are manoeuvrable in the town and also make great vehicles for road trips to other attractions. You might want to consider an automatic as your Nerja car hire choice. This will make it easier to adjust to driving on the right, rather than changing gears with your unfamiliar hand.

The town has the same speed limits as the rest of Spain, and a daily police helicopter monitors traffic to identify speeding vehicles. Bear this in mind when booking car hire in Nerja, lest you incur a heavy fine. There are a variety of speed limits with good signage. You can drive at 50 km/h (about 30 mph) on double carriageways, dropping to 30 km/h (roughly 19 mph) on single lane roads. Be careful to note that when the pavement is on the same level as the road, the limit is reduced to 20 km/h (about 12 mph).

While parking won't present problems in winter, it's totally different in tourist season, when the town is much busier. Your best bet is to head to what's known locally as "the dust bowl". This is a large free parking area in Calle Avda Pescia, near the central Nerja bus stop. On the eastern side of town, near its main beaches, you can park at the underground car park on Calle Filipinas. It costs around €10 (£8.50) for six hours.
