What Steps Should I Take If I Have an Accident With My Rental Car From SCQ Airport?

First, ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services (112) if needed. Contact the police to file a report ('atestado'). Fill out the European Accident Statement form found in the car. Immediately notify your rental company's roadside assistance number. Take photos of the scene, damages, and the other vehicle's license plate.

What Should I Know About Refueling My Rental Car in Spain?

Most rental companies at SCQ offer a 'full-to-full' policy, where you return the car with a full tank to avoid fees. A 'pre-purchase' option may also be available. Always confirm your vehicle's fuel type—'gasolina' (gasoline) or 'gasóleo' (diesel)—on the rental agreement or fuel cap to prevent engine damage. Self-service and full-service gas stations are common.

Santiago de Compostela Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and car rental FAQs for exploring Galicia's historic pilgrimage city and beyond

Can I drive in Spain with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

US citizens can legally drive in Spain with a valid US driver's license for up to 6 months. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended—Spanish rental companies and police often request it, and it serves as an official translation. Get your IDP from AAA before departure (about $20). Without it, you may face delays or be denied a vehicle.

How do I pay for toll roads in Spain? Do I need an electronic device, or is cash accepted?

Spain has two highway types: free autovías and toll autopistas. On toll roads, most booths accept credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) and cash (euros). Some booths are 'teletrecho' (only electronic, no cash). Rentals with electronic toll devices (viaje) exist but add daily fees of €3-7. For occasional use, paying at the booth with a card is simpler. Galicia's AP-9 toll road connects major cities including Santiago.

I'm 22—will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much?

Yes, if you're under 25, expect a 'young driver surcharge' of €20-35 per day at most Spanish rental agencies. Drivers under 21 are often refused entirely. Santiago Airport has all major agencies (Avis, Europcar, Hertz) with consistent surcharge policies. Book early online to compare rates—premium vehicles like convertibles may have higher age restrictions (typically 23-25 minimum).

What's the weather like for driving? Do I need winter tires or chains?

Galicia is Spain's rainiest region—expect frequent heavy rain year-round, especially October-March (300+ mm monthly). Snow is rare in Santiago itself but possible on mountain roads to the coast or inland (Lugo, Ourense). Winter tires/chains aren't legally required in the city but are recommended for mountain passes like EO-5, A-6. Fog is common in autumn. Michelin or all-season tires are standard on rentals.

Is parking easy in Santiago's old town? How much does it cost?

Parking in the Casco Antiguo is extremely limited. Street parking requires resident permits—violations cost €80-200. Your best option: public garages like Parking da Virxe da Guía (€18-25/day) or Parking de Xulonga. Hotels often include parking. The airport has long-term parking at €12-18/day. Never park on pedestrian walkways or the obligato (pilgrims' path) —tow zones are enforced aggressively.

What type of fuel do Spanish gas stations use, and is the 'full-to-full' policy standard?

Most Spanish stations offer diesel (gasóleo) and gasoline (gasolina). Diesel is cheaper (€1.30-1.50/L vs €1.50-1.70/L for gasoline) and used by most rental diesels. 'Full-to-full' is standard—receive the car with a full tank, return it full to avoid refueling markups. Unleaded 95 and 98 are universally available. In Santiago, you'll find Repsol, Cepsa, and Galp stations along major roads; 24-hour stations exist on highways but are rarer in the old town.
