Driver's License in Spain

Foreigners on short-term visit may rent a car and drive with a valid foreign driver’s licence for up to 6 months in Spain. 


All licences issued in the European Union are accepted. 


Driver's licences from non-EU countries (except Switzerland) are accepted if you have a visa in your passport and at the time of hire have not been in Europe for longer than 6 months. Longer than that, you need to get a driving licence from an EU country.

 

If your domestic driving licence is printed with non Roman Alphabet (Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic etc), an International Driving Permit (IDP/IDL) or an official translation in English is required when you drive in Spain. Please note that an International Driving Permit (often referred to as an International Driving Licence) does not replace the requirement for a regular driving licence. And you must carry your current overseas driver’s licence, IDP or translation with you all the time when driving in Spain.

 

To drive in Spain, the driver must present a valid national driver's licence that has been held for at least 1 or 2 years(according to different car hire company).

 

Tips

Some Spanish car rental companies require you to have a photo ID licence. If your foreign licence does not have a photo ID, you should get an IDP before travelling to Spain if you intend to rent a car. UK drivers with the new-style photo card licence will need both the paper counterpart and photo card. UK licence holders who have a paper licence only will also need an official photo for identification when driving in Spain.

 

 

Age requirement

To hire a car in Spain you must be at least 18 years old (age may vary by car category). Each car hire company has its own age requirements and a deviation from the minimum age is possible depending on the vehicle. If you're 18-23, you are likely to have to pay a young driver fee.

 

*Attention! Some car hire companies would have different requirements. Please check Terms and Conditions during the booking process.
