Bookingauto (Santander) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Santander can always collect them from the most suitable place.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Santander on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Mini Couper Cabrio from us, starting at €103 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Santander. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Peugeot Traveller might be best - from €43 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like BMW 5 series for €82 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Focus for just €21 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.
For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Seat Toledo in Santander is €35 per day.
In autumn, the same car costs about €14 per day.
In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a Mini Couper Cabrio will cost €103 per day for the duration of the vacation period.
Among budget models, the most demanded in Santander is the Ford Focus. The sixt company rents it out for €21 per day.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a BMW 5 series will cost about €82 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Kia Sportage at this time can be rented for just €33 per day.
