Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Santander?
The lowest daily price for a rental car in Santander within the past seven days was $38. In the comfort of your own set of wheels, you can easily cruise to whichever attractions are calling your name.
Can I rent a car from Santander Airport (SDR)?
With Dollar and Hertz within a quick commute of Santander Airport (SDR), getting off the plane and hitting the open road is easy.
What happens if I need to cancel my Santander car reservation?
We realize that things change at the last minute. That's why many prepaid bookings allow for your money back if you cancel six hours in advance of collecting the car. Your rental agreement should have all the specifics you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always accessible.
Where can I go on a road trip from Santander?
There are so many adventures to be had in Santander, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Pick up a set of wheels and you can roam around the surrounding area at your own speed. Add these fantastic drives to your itinerary:

  • San Sebastián is around 90 miles from Santander. Popular tourist attractions like Monte Igueldo should be at the top of your list here.
  • Your next stop? Consider Bilbao, which is around 45 miles away. Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
  • Bardenas Reales Natural Park is approximately 140 miles from Santander and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santander with Expedia?
Score an incredible deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred car type, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from all the popular brands. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Santander car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santander?
In Santander, the rule is 21 and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. It's always a good idea to check the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Santander?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santander?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Spain — the same side as in the States. Navigating around Santander won't be exactly the same as home, though. It's a good idea to acquaint yourself with the local traffic rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santander?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've jumped into the driver's seat of your own rental car for just $38 a day. The second lowest daily rate in Santander was $39. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santander?
You can. Expedia partners with quality providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many categories of cars. Check out our long-term car rental deals and discover every bit of Santander — or beyond!
Where can I find a Santander car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Santander often depends on the rental provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, however others may not apply any extra costs for this age range. It'd be smart to read the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to escape any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santander?
You'll want to have collision protection to cover your Santander rental car against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency assistance and no deductible in the event of a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll receive a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in Santander with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Spain, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
