Santiago de Compostela is the end of the Camino, but for drivers it is the start of Galicia, a green corner of Spain where the coast breaks into long inlets called rías and the roads wind between eucalyptus, granite villages and Atlantic cliffs. The old town is pedestrianised and parking sits on its edges, so a car is for the Costa da Morte, Finisterre and the Rías Baixas rather than the cathedral square. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Santiago de Compostela: common questions
What car suits the Galician roads?
A compact car is ideal. The motorways to A Coruña and Vigo are quick, but the coastal roads to Finisterre and around the rías are narrow, hilly and often wet, so nimble beats big. Choose something with good headlights and wipers rather than extra space.
When should I plan a driving trip around Santiago?
Late spring through early autumn brings the driest weather and long evenings on the coast, though rain can arrive any month. Winter driving is perfectly possible but expect fog on the higher inland roads and short days that limit how far you comfortably get along the Costa da Morte.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Santiago de Compostela, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
