        Information about Gibraltar

        Nestled at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Gibraltar is a small yet iconic British Overseas Territory with a rich history and unique charm. Gibraltar is home to a diverse community with approximately 34,000 people. The population includes Gibraltarians, British expatriates, and other ethnic groups, creating a melting pot of cultures. English is the official language of Gibraltar, reflecting its status as a British Overseas Territory. However, due to its multicultural population, you may also hear Spanish, Llanito (a local dialect), and other languages on the streets. The official currency in Gibraltar is the Gibraltar Pound (GIP). British Pounds (GBP) are also widely accepted, and both currencies circulate interchangeably. It's advisable to check for the specific currency accepted at local establishments.

        Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory with a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. The head of state is the British monarch, represented by the Governor of Gibraltar, while the Chief Minister is the head of government. Situated at the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar is a strategic point with a unique geological formation known as the Rock of Gibraltar. The Rock is a prominent limestone ridge that offers panoramic views and is home to Barbary macaques, the only wild monkeys in Europe. Gibraltar has a robust and diverse economy driven by tourism, shipping, and financial services. The territory's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Africa contributes to its role as a central shipping hub. The Rock of Gibraltar is the territory's most iconic landmark. Rising 426 meters (1,398 feet) above sea level, it provides stunning views of the surrounding areas. Visitors can reach the summit by cable car or by exploring the intricate network of tunnels within the Rock. Gibraltar experiences a Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers.

        The comfortable weather makes it an appealing destination year-round. Gibraltar's blend of British influence, Mediterranean ambience, and stunning landscapes make it a unique and memorable destination, offering visitors a mix of history, culture, and natural beauty.

        A Premium location/airport fee is a fee that covers the location service costs. This fee is usually included in the price but may still occur at some locations and is charged locally.

        What is Premium Coverage, and how does it work?

        Premium Coverage is an optional service by Orbit Car Hire that, if accepted, covers your financial accountability for damage or theft to the hired vehicle.

        How do I find cheap car hire online?
