What types of cars can I rent in Madrid?

Affordable and with superb mileage, they’re a good match for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn’t require a large amount of space. They’re especially suited to exploring cities.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Madrid?
The minimum age to rent a car in Madrid is 21. A surcharge for young drivers usually applies, so check before you book and factor in any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of vehicles available to young drivers. For instance, some providers will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Requirements may differ between providers, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Madrid?
Renting a car in Madrid is a breeze. Normally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Once you’ve found a great set of wheels, read your policy to ensure there are no extra requirements before pickup.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Madrid?
Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a holiday home car in the middle of your holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and lock in a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Madrid car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in Madrid. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home.
Can I drive in Madrid with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
