Car Rental Mini Guide to Santander Airport
Santander has long been a popular entry point to Spain, with many tourists arriving by ferry and then driving around northern Spain or heading south to the Costas with their own cars. However, nowadays, more and more people choose to fly with Ryanair to Santander Airport, avoiding the long journey and uncomfortable Bay of Biscay crossing, and hire a car upon arrival, feeling fresh and ready to explore. This alternative method of getting around northern Spain is often more cost-effective. Plus, once you leave the airport, you'll be only ten minutes away from the city by hire car.
While many people opt to take their cars on the ferry from Plymouth or Portsmouth to Santander, flying to Santander and then renting a car for the duration of your stay in Cantabria can be a more economical choice. With our car rental service at Santander Airport, you can rest assured that you'll get the best value for your money. We've checked all the available hire car prices to ensure we offer the most competitive rates, including a comprehensive insurance package that covers collision damage waiver and roadside assistance. Additionally, we offer optional extras like sat-nav, roof bars, or child booster seats to enhance your rental experience. We strive to provide excellent service, availability, and affordability for all car rental needs, including those who frequently hire cars in Spain. So, make your booking today and get ready to hit the road!
