Car Rental in Santander

Family car rental in Santander

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Spain traditionally include the following vehicles: VW Passat, Renault Scenic, Peugeot 508, Ford Mondeo, Hyundai Sonata, Mercedes A Class and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Santander borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Santander might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Santander!

Driving Advices for Spain – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
Pedestrians are often not less dangerous than other participants of traffic. They can step on "zebra crossing" despite the fact that there are rapidly approaching cars on the road. Drivers should be particularly careful near pedestrian crossings.
Pedestrians also often become the main reason for accidents. They can calmly cross the road, without paying any attention to cars that have collided because of them.
Quite an interesting fact - after the introduction of the rule that makes the use of motorcycle helmets and seat belts mandatory, local drivers punctually followed that rule for a long time. The new rule was interesting to them, but eventually they lost interest, and the rule was slowly forgotten.

Traveling in Santander with family car
The end of hot July is considered the time of music – in the city of Santander is held a music event with the same name, which is dedicated to all its genres, from indie rock to electronic music. This is why the celebration is popular among anyone who wishes to visit it – so that everyone can find music to their liking. Visitors are entertained not just by the musicians who come from Spain, as many people come to the big port city for this purpose. The place chosen for the event is more than suitable – it is the already mentioned Palacio de Festivales complex where you can listen to music for three days. It is also chosen because from here opens up magnificent views of the beautiful beach Playa de la Magdalena.

At the same time, that is, you can witness another remarkable event in the city at the end of July. We are talking about the event Concurso Internacional de Piano Ciudad de Santander, one of Santander’s oldest festivals. All pianists around the world, both those who have made “a name” for themselves in the world of classical music and those who are yet to make their way, dream of getting there because of its high popularity. Invitation to the festival means world recognition in the world of symphonic music. You can listen to both orchestras and smaller groups or solo performers here. The venue for the event is still the same beautiful Palacio de Festivales’ hall.
