Spain: Specify if you want an automatic rental car

    Only Americans would assume that rental cars in Europe have an automatic transmission. Cars in Europe (rental or not) have a manual transmission. Either go through all the hazzel of booking, confirming and reconfirming a car with an automatic transmission - or go for the easy solution: Learn to drive stick like most people! :-)
