Why rent a car in Santander with ClickRent?
Pick up your car at Santander Airport
Our office is right at the airport, so as soon as you get off the plane you can go straight to collect your car, with no queues or trips to another area. In Cantabria, where the coast, the valleys, and the mountains follow one another over short distances but require your own vehicle to be truly enjoyed, having the car from the very first moment is key to making the most of every day of your stay.
Book online in minutes and cancel for free up to 24h in advance
With ClickRent you can book your car from any device in just a few minutes and get instant confirmation. If the Cantabrian weather changes your plans or you decide to extend your stay, you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. In a destination where the weather can vary from one day to the next, that flexibility is as useful as the vehicle itself.
A fleet ready for the coast and the interior of Cantabria
A nimble compact car to explore the coastal villages, or a roomier car to venture into the Picos de Europa with the whole family? ClickRent has a wide, regularly inspected fleet so you can choose the vehicle that best suits your plan, whether you're after beaches and gastronomy or mountain routes through the interior of the region.

What to see in Santander with your rental car
Discover places such as:
Santander city: the Bay, El Sardinero, and the Magdalena Palace
The Cantabrian capital combines urban beach and historic heritage in a setting that is hard to match. El Sardinero beach, with its grand casino and seafront promenade, and Santander Bay, with the fishing neighbourhood of Puerto Chico and the Mercado de la Esperanza, deserve a relaxed morning before heading up to the Magdalena Palace, the former summer residence of the Spanish royal family, with panoramic views over the whole bay. Parking near the centre and walking between these spots is the most comfortable way to begin the trip.
The Cantabrian coast: Comillas and the western beaches
To the west, the Cantabrian coast unfolds some of the most photogenic landscapes in northern Spain. Comillas surprises with El Capricho de Gaudí, one of the Catalan architect's least-known works, and a historic centre full of indianos mansions. Very close by, San Vicente de la Barquera, with its medieval castle overlooking the estuary and the beach of Merón at its feet, is one of those villages that justifies a detour on its own. Without your own car, many of these spots remain out of reach for most visitors.
The Picos de Europa and the Altamira Caves
Less than an hour and a half from Santander Airport, the Picos de Europa offer hiking routes, viewpoints, and high-mountain landscapes that contrast radically with the coast. The National Park is one of the most visited in Spain, and the Fuente Dé cable car, which rises almost 800 metres vertically in just a few minutes, is an experience that impresses everyone. Closer by, the Altamira Museum and the reproduction of its caves with prehistoric paintings over 14,000 years old add a unique cultural dimension.
