Easy access, information and procedures. The valuations of the rental companies can be improved because if you look for them you can see that they do not correspond to the reality.

If you already know that car hire in Santiago de Compostela will be your option to discover Galicia, start by exploring the city: visit the majestic Cathedral, stroll through its medieval old town or relax in the Alameda Park, enjoying the best panoramic views.

After discovering Santiago, take advantage of your rental car to visit nearby cities such as A Coruña, located less than an hour's drive away. There you can visit the emblematic Tower of Hercules or relax on Riazor beach. Another essential alternative is Pontevedra, just 50 minutes away by car, known for its historic centre and typical gastronomy, as well as its proximity to the Rías Baixas.

What to consider when driving your rental car in Santiago de Compostela?

Driving around Santiago is easy and comfortable, although caution is advised in the historic centre due to its narrow streets. For longer routes or trips to coastal and mountainous areas, remember to ask for GPS. Also bear in mind that certain motorways such as the AP-9 have tolls, so it is advisable to plan your trip in advance.
