The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Santander are: BMW X3, BMW X5, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Suzuki Jimny and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Spain ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Spain are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Anti-fog lights can only be used when visibility is poor (less than 50 meters). Drivers, who use them in other circumstances, are likely to get a fine. Cars must also be equipped with a set of spare bulbs.
It is also recommended to have a special vest with reflective stripes. It will be useful in case you will need to get off a car in a prohibited place, for example, in case of a sudden breakdown.
Roads in the countryside are considered one of the most dangerous in the country. As a rule, they have only one lane in each direction, so it is not recommended to drive on such roads at high speed.
