Car rental in Santander near the airport

Seve Ballesteros Airport is in Maliaño, about 5 km from the centre, and from there you can rent Amovens cars available in Maliaño and Camargo. You meet the owner, check the car together, and head for the coast without driving through the city. If you'd rather have it brought to the terminal, check whether the listing offers delivery: there is usually a fee.

Pick-up at the station and the port

Train and bus stations

Both train stations and the bus station sit together in the city centre. From there you can walk to cars in nearby neighbourhoods and avoid crossing Santander at rush hour.

Port of Santander

Ferries to the UK leave from the port's Estación Marítima, next to the centre. If you arrive by boat without a car, meeting an owner near the port gets you on your way straight away.

Trips around Cantabria by car

Cabárceno Nature Park is about 25 minutes away and Santillana del Mar about half an hour on the A-67. Comillas is about 45 minutes. Potes and the Picos de Europa take almost two hours, with the last stretch through the La Hermida gorge.

The Santander Ensanche low-emission zone

Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 19:00, the Ensanche is a low-emission zone and only cars with an environmental label may enter. With an Amovens car, this is rarely a problem: available cars are no more than 15 years old, so none falls below a B label. The map and rules are on the Santander ZBE website.

Cars for families

Santander also has minibuses and vans with up to 9 seats. They help if a group of you is heading to Somo beach or a wedding in the Liébana valley. See minibuses for rent.

Fuel or charging, tolls, parking and fines are on you. Extra equipment depends on the car and is listed in the ad. See the insurance.

Not if the car has Amovens Sin Llaves: you unlock and lock it with the app and do the photos and check from your phone. For other cars, yes, you meet the owner and check the car's condition, mileage and fuel together.

The included kilometres depend on the rental length and are shown before you confirm the booking; fuel or charging is on you. If you're planning a long trip, you can buy extra kilometres before the rental starts, which works out better than going over: extra kilometres you haven't bought cost 50% more. When you finish, return the car with the same fuel or charge level it had at pick-up.
