How old do you need to be to rent a car in Madrid?
The minimum age to rent a car in Madrid is 21 years, although a few rental companies require drivers to be at least 23 years old. Be sure to check with Auto Europe and your supplier if you are under 25 and looking to book a rental car in Madrid. Drivers between the ages of 21-24 may be required to pay an additional fee, known as a "young driver surcharge," which is usually upwards of $10-USD 20 a day, on top of the daily rental rate.
Can I rent a car without a credit card in Madrid?
Many Auto Europe customers are surprised to learn they can book a rental car in Madrid without a credit card on file. By working with multiple suppliers in Madrid, Auto Europe knows which suppliers and car categories are ideal for this. The process won't require drivers to hand over thousands of dollars. Contact us at 1-888-223-5555 for more assistance.
Can I use my driver's license to drive in Madrid?
Spain requires American tourists to obtain an International Driver's Permit (IDP) before collecting their rental car in Madrid. Before leaving on your trip, you can purchase your IDP from AAA for about USD 20. Complete your IDP application, mail it in, or visit your local AAA branch. Keep in mind that if you do not have an IDP, you risk being turned away at the rental counter or fined if local authorities pull you over. Learn more about International Driving Permits in Spain.
