Requirements to rent a vehicle
To rent a car, you will generally need to meet the following requirements:
- Driving licence: You must present a valid driving licence with a minimum holding period (usually 1 to 2 years). If your licence was not issued in a European Union country, you are required to present an International Driving Permit together with your national licence.
- Minimum age: Most rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Please note that drivers under 25 are often subject to a "young driver surcharge".
- Credit card: A credit card (debit or prepaid cards are usually not accepted for this purpose) in the main driver’s name is required to block the security deposit.
- Identity documentation: A valid original passport or national identity card.
- Reservation: Although it is possible to rent on arrival, making an advance reservation is recommended to ensure vehicle availability and obtain better rates.

5 tips for renting a car abroad
What to consider:
- Certify that you have a valid driver's license to drive in the destination country. If you are a foreigner, check if you need to validate your license in your country of origin. It should be noted that the International permit is NOT valid by itself, it must always be accompanied by the National Driver's License.
- Documentation and vehicle insurance required according to current traffic regulations.
- Take into account the traffic rules that currently apply in the destination country. Maximum speeds allowed on highways, avenues and streets, priorities of passage at intersections without traffic lights, tolerance of allowed blood alcohol, etc.
- Direction of movement and the way in which cars should be driven on the streets. If the side where the steering wheel is located in the cars of your country matches the vehicles in the destination country.
- Know the procedure to follow in case of starring in or suffering a traffic accident.
