Sample prices for a 7-day rental. Final price, deposit and terms are confirmed on Localrent.

Desks are in the single arrivals hall at Santander Airport (SDR), minutes from baggage.

No-deposit options

About a third of cars in Spain come with no deposit hold at pickup - look for the "No deposit" badge.

Full insurance

Zero-excess cover available on most cars - nothing taken from the deposit if something happens.

Free cancellation

Cancel free on most bookings, often up to 48 hours before pickup.

Car types at Santander Airport

Most driving here is coast motorway plus the odd climb inland. Pick by group size and how far you are going, not by looks.

Car hire at Santander Airport (SDR)

Santander Airport (SDR), officially Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport, is the only airport in Cantabria and sits about 5 km from the city. It is an international airport near Santander, and the only airport in Cantabria. The setup is simple: one terminal, one arrivals hall, and the rental desks a short walk from the baggage carousels.

Where the desks are in the terminal

SDR has a single terminal, so there is no terminal-hopping to worry about. After the airport's renovations it has 8 check-in desks, 3 baggage carousels in the arrivals lounge and 7 boarding gates. The airport has only one terminal, which means you can be at the car rental kiosk just minutes after landing; the companies are in the arrival hall within close proximity of baggage claim, and once you have your keys you follow the signs to the rental car parking lot right in front of the terminal.

Some suppliers keep their cars on-site in that car park opposite the terminal. Others run a free shuttle to an office a short distance away, so read your voucher to know which one applies to your booking.

Suppliers at SDR

  • Europcar - desk in the arrivals hall, cars in the car park opposite the terminal.
  • Centauro - usually a free shuttle to a nearby office; check your voucher for the meeting point.
  • OK Mobility - listed among the pickup points at or near the arrivals area.

Shuttle offices off the airport usually have a "Meeting Point" sign by the car park ticket booths across the road - your voucher gives the exact spot.

Payment and deposit

When you book you pay only a small upfront amount - usually 15-20% of the hire cost. The rest is settled at the desk on pickup. The deposit in most cases is fully refundable, and about a third of cars in Spain are handed over with no deposit at all - those are marked in the results. If you only have a debit card, pick a no-deposit rate or a cash-deposit option: nothing gets frozen on your card.

Picking up the car and late arrivals

Have your voucher, passport, driving licence held for at least a year, and the booking card ready at the desk to keep the queue short. All drivers must have held their full licence for a minimum of one year. If your licence is written in a language and characters different from those of the country of rental, an International Driving Permit is also required.

Minimum age is generally 21, with a young-driver surcharge under 25, and the exact figure varies by supplier and car group. Santander Airport is typically not busy late at night or early morning, but it is still open, which means you can return your rental car when it is most convenient for you. Pickup hours are tighter than return, so if your flight lands late check the closing time on your supplier before you book. Photograph any existing scratches before you drive off.

Driving out and Santander's low-emission zone

The airport sits right on the coast road, so you are on a motorway within minutes. Santander Airport is well connected to the major road networks: the A-8 motorway runs along the northern coast and connects to cities such as Bilbao and Gijon, while the S-10 takes you directly into Santander city centre. The city centre is about 10 to 15 minutes away.

Low-emission zone (ZBE) - good news for rentals

Santander has a ZBE (low-emission zone) active in the city centre, and your provider will ensure your car has the correct environmental sticker for legal access. Cars hired in Spain already carry the required DGT sticker, so a rental picked up at SDR can drive into the centre with no extra paperwork. The fines target older or foreign-plated private cars, not your hire car. Check the windscreen for the sticker and photograph it.

Heading west, Bilbao is roughly an hour along the A-8; Oviedo and Asturias sit a couple of hours west on the same road. If you want to drop the car one-way in Bilbao, Oviedo or another city, flag it when you book rather than at the desk, as the one-way fee is priced separately. Fuel up before you return, since on-site prices run higher, then follow the car-hire return signs to your supplier's car park.

Santander Airport car hire FAQ

Where are the car hire desks at Santander Airport?+

In the single arrivals hall, a short walk from baggage claim. SDR has only one terminal, so you can reach the desks minutes after landing.

Cars are usually in the car park right in front of the terminal, though some suppliers shuttle you to a nearby office. Your voucher states the exact location.

Can my SDR hire car drive into Santander's low-emission zone?+

Yes. Santander has a ZBE covering the city centre, but cars rented in Spain already carry the DGT environmental sticker the zone requires, so a hire car can enter freely.

Check the windscreen sticker at pickup and photograph it. The fines only apply to older or foreign-plated private cars.

Can I pick up a hire car late at night at SDR?+

The airport is quiet but open early and late, and returns can be made when convenient.

Pickup hours are tighter and vary by supplier, so if your flight lands late, check the closing time on your chosen company before booking.

How long does it take to drive from Santander Airport into the city?+

About 10 to 15 minutes via the S-10. For the coast or Bilbao, you can join the A-8 straight from the airport without going into Santander at all.

Do you need a credit card to hire a car at Santander Airport?+

A credit card is not always required - it is needed to hold the security deposit. At pickup the supplier freezes the deposit amount on the card: the money is not charged and is released when you return the car undamaged.

To avoid a hold, choose a full cover or no-deposit rate - then a debit card is usually fine and there is no pressure to buy extra cover at the desk.

What is the deposit when you hire a car?+

The deposit is an amount the rental company holds as a guarantee for the car. Road fines or damage can be deducted from it.

If the car comes back without problems, the deposit is released in full. It is a temporary hold on your card, not a charge.

How large is the deposit at pickup?+

It depends on the car class and the supplier - you can see the exact amount on each car's card.

You can set a maximum deposit in the filter and the catalogue shows only matching offers. The lower you set it, the fewer cars remain.

Can you hire a car with no deposit?+

Yes. To see cars with no deposit, use the «No deposit» filter option. There are also cars with a small deposit or cash payment.

Note that "no deposit" means no hold at pickup, not no booking payment - a small upfront amount is still taken when you book. If nothing suits, contact our support team.

What is the difference between the deposit and the excess?+

The deposit is the amount frozen on your card at pickup and released when you return the car undamaged.

The excess is the part of any damage you pay yourself even with insurance - anything above it is covered by the insurer.

In practice, damage is taken from the deposit up to the excess, so the deposit is often set to match it. A full, zero-excess policy removes both: you do not pay for damage and the hold is usually waived.

What does the insurance cover?+

Cover comes in levels:

  • TPL (third-party liability) - compulsory and always included; covers damage you cause to others.
  • CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) - covers damage to the hire car itself, except glass and tyres.
  • Super CDW - reduces or removes the excess and covers what CDW does not, including glass and wheels; with it the car is usually given with no deposit.

You see the available rates on each car's card when booking.

What is the difference between minimum, basic and full cover?+
  • Minimum cover - only damage to other cars; you pay for your own car's bodywork, glass and wheels.
  • Basic (CDW) - adds partial cover for your car in an accident, but not glass or tyres.
  • Full cover (Super CDW) - covers all damage, including glass and wheels, and nothing is taken from the deposit.

If you would rather not depend on the deposit and excess, choose the full rate.

Can you pay for the rental in cash?+

Yes, some cars can be paid in cash - use the «Cash» filter option.

You pay a small upfront amount by debit or credit card when booking (usually 15-20% of the total), and the rest in cash at pickup in the terminal.

Can you pay with cryptocurrency?+

Yes, paying for the car with cryptocurrency is possible - contact our support team to arrange it.

Can I return the car somewhere other than Santander Airport?+

Yes. In the search, set a pick-up and a drop-off point - for example collect at SDR and return in Santander, Bilbao or Oviedo.

By default the car is returned to the same place you collected it.

Are hire cars at Santander Airport automatic or manual?+

Most are manual, as across Spain. Automatics are in shorter supply and cost more, so book one well ahead if you need it. The same applies to 7-seaters in summer.

What documents do you need to hire a car?+

You need a passport, a driving licence and the rental voucher - the voucher can be shown on your phone or tablet.

It states the final price with your chosen options and insurance, so the amount due at the desk will not change.

What is the minimum driving experience?+

To hire through our rental companies you need at least 2 years of driving experience.
