  • Click and Rent, Goldcar and Centauro are some of the most popular providers in the city. They're a great starting point for comparing offers.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Santiago de Compostela car hire policy, whether you go with Click and Rent or a different supplier. Some may charge separately for it instead of including it in the base rental.

  • Booking one-way could land you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be relocated. Just choose 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Santiago de Compostela.

  • Spend less on fuel by choosing a vehicle that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect the car with a full tank and return it full, so you're only paying for what you use.

  • Want to explore more without stressing about the number of miles you clock up? Search for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and travel as far as you like without the extra charges.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't mandatory, but it's worth considering. If your car is damaged, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying a hefty excess fee. Different Santiago de Compostela car hire providers have varying insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the details before booking.

  • From GPS units to mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, the right extras can make all the difference on the road. Think about which extras will suit your needs when you rent a car in Santiago de Compostela.

Good to know

  • To rent a car in Spain, you generally have to be at least 21 years old. Some companies may offer rentals to younger drivers for an extra fee, so always check the policies before finalizing your ride.

  • Travel plans include the kids? Car seat laws vary from one place to another, and the right setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Check if you need to add one to your Santiago de Compostela car hire reservation.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up as quick as possible. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) and another form of photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • If you haven't driven before in Spain, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are often about 20kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Spain. The only sure way to stay legal to drive is to skip the drinks.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 9am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and activities. Use cards when it's possible, but have some cash ready for places that don't accept electronic payment.

  • Spend less time looking for a place to park and more time settling into the comfort of Motel Montecarlo. Around 5 kilometres from central Santiago de Compostela, it comes with parking, Wi-Fi and room service.
