Spain, a country rich in history and diversity, is situated on the Iberian Peninsula in southern Europe. It is made up of 17 distinct regions, each showcasing its own unique charm and character. The capital city, Madrid, boasts the royal palace along with numerous smaller palaces, museums, and cultural landmarks. Regions like Galicia, the Basque Country, and Catalonia are also fascinating destinations, featuring the renowned pilgrimage site of Santiago de Compostela and Gaudi's magnificent Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona. Heading south, you'll find Seville, the stunning capital of Andalusia and the birthplace of the iconic flamenco dance. Close by, Malaga offers beautiful beaches, golf courses, and historical monuments.

If you would like to rent a car in Spain, there are a few details regarding fuel that you need to be aware of prior to booking. The “full to empty” policy, offered by the majority of low-cost rental companies, means picking up a car with a full tank and returning it as empty as possible. There will be no refund for unused fuel and the price charged for the initial tank is higher than petrol station prices due to a refuelling fee. This policy is recommended to travellers who do not want or do not have time to refuel the car before returning it to the rent a car company.
The "full to full" fuel policy is still the best option for the majority of our customers. The car is provided with a full tank and you need to return the vehicle also with a full tank. On our booking engine you can see which fuel policy applies for the chosen rental.
Drivers in Spain must be at least 18 years of age. However, to rent a motor vehicle in Spain you must be between the ages of 21 and 75.

This is clearly shown on our website under the info icon in the search results as well as on your rental voucher. To find out more about age restrictions when renting a vehicle, please refer to our in-depth guide.
