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.
