With more around 10 million Brits heading to Spain each year, it’s inevitable that some are going to collect speeding tickets while driving hire cars. Speeding in Spain can be costly. The amount of the fine you will receive will depend on how much you were speeding over the limit. For example, if you are caught speeding by 10-20km/h, you will be fined €100. If you are caught speeding by 21-30km/h, you will be fined €300. And if you are caught speeding at more than 30km/h, you will be fined €600.
