    Madrid - Spain Car Rental

    Madrid is a city steeped in culture and tradition and best explored at your own pace from the seat of a rental car. This city is the perfect destination for travelers interested in famous paintings and ancient architecture. Still, it's also ideal for those looking to enjoy a relaxing, slow-paced vacation. Take a step back and listen closely - you might hear the soft melody of a Spanish guitar, the gentle sway of a flamenco dancer's shirt, and perhaps the lively shouts of a charismatic matador. Allow yourself to experience this metropolis at your own pace and take in everything this vibrant city offers when renting a car in Spain with Auto Europe.

    FAQs about car rental in Madrid

    Whether it's your first time or your tenth renting a car, you may still have questions about the process. To help you navigate this, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions about car rentals. This includes details on insurance, age and license requirements, our goal is to equip you with the knowledge you need to make the most of your trip.


    How old do I 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?

    No, to rent a car in Madrid, a credit card is essential. Specifically, when you arrive at the rental desk to collect your vehicle, you must present a valid credit card in the name of the primary driver listed on your voucher, ensuring it has sufficient credit for the security deposit.

    The requirement for a credit card at the time of pickup is to allow the rental company to place a hold on the security deposit. Without a credit card, the rental company may deny you the vehicle or ask for additional insurance payments. Note that credit cards from extra drivers or cash deposits are not accepted. While a few rental companies might allow a debit card, this is quite uncommon. The security deposit will be released from your card once you return the car in the same condition as when you received it.

    For details regarding credit card holds and deposits during your booking, you can always check our booking engine by clicking on the blue (i) icon or refer to your voucher after completing your reservation.

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.
