Minibus rental
Renting a minibus is a practical solution for groups travelling together. It’s especially recommended to book in advance, as availability can be limited during trade fairs, conferences, or peak tourist seasons. Minibuses are also a convenient choice for sightseeing trips or long weekends with family and friends. You can explore the available options on the private transfers page.
Car rental terms & conditions
Car rental requirements in Spain vary depending on the type of vehicle you choose. However, most companies apply similar basic conditions:
- Credit card: A deposit is usually held on your card to cover the excess and fuel. If the car is returned in good condition, this amount will be released.
- Identification: The main driver and any additional drivers must present a valid ID card (DNI) or passport.
- Driving licence: The main driver must have held a valid driving licence for at least one year. The licence must be valid and free of any serious penalties that prohibit driving. If you don’t have a Spanish licence, you can use an international driving permit recognised by Spanish law. The licence must also match the type of vehicle rented (car, motorbike, etc.).
- Drivers under 25 usually pay a daily young driver surcharge of between €8 and €25 (including VAT). The exact amount depends on the rental company and the type of vehicle, such as an SUV, sports car, or motorbike. Some vehicles can only be rented by drivers aged 25 or older.
Insurance and coverage
Basic insurance is normally included in the rental price, covering third-party liability, damage to the vehicle, and theft. Additional coverage options are available if you want more protection.
If the rental is covered by a deductible (franchise), the renter is responsible for damages up to that amount, while the company covers anything beyond it. To avoid paying this deductible, you can choose to add extra coverage for an additional daily fee.
