    Are you hoping to visit Spain this year? Regardless of whether you’re touring Catalonia, taking in the sights of Madrid or embarking on a road trip from Bilbao to Seville, one way car hire in Spain can make your dream a reality. 

    Most major operators can provide one way car hire in Spain. However, the right supplier for you will depend on where your journey starts and ends. This is because, in order to facilitate pickup and drop off, the supplier must have a branch in both of these locations. 

    Want to know more about how one way car hire in Spain works? Read on. Here you’ll find a detailed rundown of the process, as well as our tips and tricks for booking one way car rental for the lowest possible price.

    What Is One Way Car Hire In Spain?

    Put simply, one way car hire allows you to collect a car from one location (for example Barcelona) and drop it off in another (like Seville). This is different to traditional car hire, which requires you to return the car to the original pickup location. 

    For this reason, one way car hire is particularly popular with people who are embarking on a road trip. However, this isn’t the only reason people opt for one way car rental in Spain. For example, this service is also popular with people who are moving house or are travelling across the country for work or to visit relatives for an extended period.

    One Way Car Hire Spain FAQs
    Why are one way car rentals more expensive?

    It’s sometimes possible to arrange one way car hire for no additional cost. However, occasionally a fee is charged. 

    When a supplier charges extra, this is because they need to pay to move the vehicle to a different location. The price you’re charged in the surcharge covers this cost.  

    Can I book one way car hire from the UK to Spain?

    Unfortunately we cannot arrange one way car hire from the UK to Spain. This is because one way car hire is unavailable if you’re travelling across the water. 

    However, we do offer a cross-border car hire service. This means you can collect the car in the UK, take it to Spain and then return it in the UK. Please contact us if you would like to book this service. 

    Can I rent without a credit card?

    Some of our Spanish suppliers accept debit cards. Call us to discuss your needs and we’ll see what we can arrange. 

    Does one way car hire include unlimited mileage?

    Yes, unlimited mileage is included as standard. So you can enjoy your road trip without worrying about additional charges. 

    Do I need to pass a credit check if using my debit card to hire?

    If renting a car in the UK and you are a UK resident most of the large multinational suppliers will carry out an electronic address check to ensure you have strong enough links to the address provided. However most of the suppliers with the exception of 1 or 2, still carry out the same checks so not unique to when you need to hire via a debit card. Key indicator are if you are named on the Electoral Register and named on the council tax bill.

    When renting a car overseas as an inbound client our suppliers do not carry out any checks.

    Do I need to leave a deposit if hiring with a debit card?

    Most suppliers do require a security deposit when renting a car, in the UK we have a range of options. The best value suppliers would request a £200.00 – £300.00 deposit. However we do have selected locations where our supplier does not require any deposit, so a full zero deposit.

    In Europe we have options where you can just leave a fuel deposit of 110 EUR, and there is no mandatory requirement to take the Super Cover as this can be the case with some of the smaller budget suppliers.
