Download Your Private Car Rental Contract in Moaña (Word/PDF)

Renting a car directly from another private individual is an increasingly popular, cost-effective alternative to traditional car rental agencies in Spain. However, doing this safely requires a formal agreement. A Contrato de Alquiler de Coche entre Particulares (Private Car Rental Agreement between Individuals) is a legally binding contract signed by the vehicle owner (the lessor) and the driver (the lessee). It outlines the exact terms of the rental, protects both parties against unexpected liabilities such as fines or damages, and serves as essential proof if you are stopped by the Guardia Civil or Policía Local while driving around Moaña and the stunning Rías Baixas region.

Instructions on how and where to use and store this contract in Moaña

Unlike administrative appeals, a private car rental contract does not need to be submitted to a local government office like the *Concello de Moaña* or the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) at the moment of signing. Instead, it is a private agreement that both parties must keep in their possession. Here is what you need to do:

• Print two copies: Both the owner and the driver must sign both physical copies so each party retains an original document.
• Keep it in the car: While driving in Moaña, the renter must keep a copy of this contract inside the vehicle alongside the vehicle's registration papers (*Permiso de Circulación*) and technical inspection card (*ITV*).
• Notify your insurance: The vehicle owner must verify with their car insurance provider (*seguro de coche*) whether occasional rentals or secondary drivers are covered under the current policy to avoid coverage issues in Moaña.
