The province's villages are far apart, and many have few buses. With a car from Amovens booked for the day, you choose the order of your stops and come back to sleep in Burgos.
Start at the Museum of Human Evolution in central Burgos, then drive to the UNESCO-listed Sierra de Atapuerca sites, about 25 minutes away. Visits to the sites are guided, so book ahead.
Aranda de Duero and its underground wine cellars are around an hour away on the A-1. Lerma, with its ducal palace, is on the way, about 35 minutes out. If there are tastings, agree beforehand who's driving.
Orbaneja del Castillo, with its waterfall in the middle of the village, is around an hour away, and Frías, with its castle on the rock, a little further. It's a trip for the whole day.
Covarrubias is about 45 minutes away, and Silos, with its Romanesque cloister, is around an hour. They combine well in a morning.
Burgos Rosa Manzano station is in Villimar, to the north-east, about 4 km from the cathedral. If you arrive by train, meet an owner in Gamonal, the northern neighbourhoods, or Quintanadueñas and start your route from there, without crossing the centre.
In winter, it often snows on the province's mountain passes. Check road conditions on the DGT website before setting off and, if you're heading into the mountains, consider an SUV for rent: several are available in Burgos.
It depends on the car, the dates and how long you rent it: each owner sets their own price. You see the total price before you book, with comprehensive insurance and 24/7 roadside assistance included. Renting for a few hours instead of a whole day also means you only pay for what you use.
You need to be at least 21 and to hold a car driving licence (category B), valid in Spain and held for at least 1 year. The first time you rent, Amovens validates your ID card, NIE or passport and your licence. For cars Amovens considers premium, the minimum age is 25.
Yes, you can rent from a few hours to several days, depending on what each owner allows. It's handy for errands, a small move or a weekend away.
It may be: if your booking has a deposit, you'll see it before you confirm. The amount depends on the car, the rental length, your age and other booking details. It's held on your card and released a few days after the rental, minus any extra costs. More about deposits.
It always includes the car for the time you book, with a number of kilometres based on the rental length, comprehensive insurance with Omocom and 24/7 roadside assistance. Fuel or charging, tolls, parking and fines are on you. Extra equipment depends on the car and is listed in the ad. See the insurance.
Not if the car has Amovens Sin Llaves: you unlock and lock it with the app and do the photos and check from your phone. For other cars, yes, you meet the owner and check the car's condition, mileage and fuel together.
The included kilometres depend on the rental length and are shown before you confirm the booking; fuel or charging is on you. If you're planning a long trip, you can buy extra kilometres before the rental starts, which works out better than going over: extra kilometres you haven't bought cost 50% more. When you finish, return the car with the same fuel or charge level it had at pick-up.
Yes, as long as you do it before the rental starts: when you book or by editing your booking. The price is shown at that point. The additional driver must meet the same requirements as you, and can't drive until Amovens approves their documents.
