How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bilbao?
In Bilbao, the requirement is 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location.

It's always a good idea to check the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Bilbao?
Generally, all that's required is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between providers, so it's a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Bilbao?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Spain — the same side as in the States. Travelling around Bilbao won't be exactly like home, though. You should familiarise yourself with the local road rules.

Where can I find a Bilbao car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Bilbao often depends on the rental provider you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to avoid any nasty surprises when picking up your keys.
