Same as pickup
If you're under 25, renting a car in Spain is absolutely possible, but it comes with a few extra rules. Most companies charge a "Young Driver Surcharge" and restrict the types of vehicles you can hire.
Statistically, younger drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents. To offset this risk, car hire companies apply a daily surcharge. This fee is usually paid directly at the rental desk when you pick up the car.
It typically ranges from €8 to €15 per day, usually capped at a maximum amount per rental (e.g., max €150 per rental).
Almost all companies require you to have held a valid driving license for at least 1 full year (sometimes 2 years) before renting.
Yes. Drivers under 25 are generally restricted to Mini, Economy, and Compact car classes. Luxury vehicles, large SUVs, and 9-seater vans are usually off-limits.
Most major providers like Centauro, Record Go, and Goldcar will rent to drivers who are 21 years old, provided they pay the young driver surcharge and have held their license for a year.
A few local Spanish providers may rent to 18 or 19-year-olds, but the surcharges are significantly higher, and mandatory full insurance is usually required.
