If you are planning on hiring a car and staying in the centre of Seville my tip would be to rent a small a vehicle as possible so that you can park it easily and also manoeuvre it through the narrow streets and alleys. Your hotel might well have a car park or garage, in which case it is sensible to leave your hire car then for use on longer trips and visit the city on foot, by bus, tram or use the metro.
In the Casco Antiguo you get a sensation of old Seville with its very narrow streets. The council are restricting vehicles as much as they can so it may be worth getting a taxi in to the city leving your car (if you hired one) at the hotel.
If you are using Seville Airport car hire, the motorways surrounding Seville are well maintained and signposted, but driving in the city centre is another matter entirely with pedestrians constantly stepping out in front of you: scooters weaving in and out of traffic ignoring signals: narrow one-way streets, blind curves and intersections and taxi and bus only lanes
It is much safer to pay for parking as if you use free on street spaces you can so easily get blocked in wit the locals tendency to double park. Parking is now expensive since the cheap parking next to the river has been taken away. Public garages charge anywhere from €20 -25 per day, while hotels can charge anywhere from €15-30.
