Frequently Asked Questions about Car Rental at Madrid Airport

Can I take out extra insurance now?

You can find all the information about what is included and the options for taking out additional insurance in the conditions of each offer and on your rental voucher.

What documents do I need to take to collect the car at Madrid Airport ?

The main driver needs these four documents to be able to collect the car (all must be original documents and in the drivers' name): a credit card with embossed numbers and sufficient credit to cover the deposit amount and any extras, passport or ID card, full driving license and the rental voucher.

Do I need a credit card to rent a car at Madrid Airport ?

In most cases the main driver needs a credit card in order to rent a car. Sometimes it is also possible to pay with a debit card. In this case you should contact us and we will try to find a solution.

What if I only have one debit card in the name of the main driver?

If the main driver only has a debit card in his name, we advise you to choose a car rental offer where debit cards are accepted. This can be seen in the conditions of each offer. In addition, we recommend you to apply the 'Debit card' filter to directly access all the offers available.

Will I have to leave a deposit when I collect my car?

For most offers on our website you will be required to leave a security deposit when you collect the car. As long as you bring the car back undamaged at the end of the rental, the money will be unblocked / returned.

Can I rent a car with unlimited mileage at Madrid Airport ?

Yes, if you are planning on driving long distances, you can use the filters to the left of the car list page to see prices for rentals with unlimited mileage.

Can I return the car to a different office than the one it was collected from?

If you want to return the vehicle to a different office than the one it was collected from you need to choose the ‘one way’ option when making your booking. To do this you need to unclick the ‘Return the car to the same location’ box and select where you’d like to return the car. Our search engine will automatically inform you if the route you have chosen is possible. The rental company normally charges a ‘one-way’ fee for returning the car to a different office. If this is the case, it is explained in the conditions before booking and again on the rental voucher.

How can I get an invoice for my booking?

To request an invoice of your booking, please click the link below.

Can I choose the model of the car?

We are never able to confirm the make, model or colour of the car you will receive. Your booking isn’t associated with a specific vehicle (make or model, colour, equipment etc) but is for a group of vehicles with similar characteristics. In the event that the requested group is not available you will be given a vehicle from a higher group at no extra cost.
