The landscape is incredibly varied in this part of northern Spain and offers lots of opportunity to get into nature and explore the mountains and valleys of this exciting location. To access the best of this part of Spain, a car is a great way to travel and saves so much more time and effort than if you were trying to use public transport.
There is one petrol station on the airport campus at Santiago and a number of others on the main approach road. If you plan to refuel your car before returning it then one of these will be ideal.

Most of the car hire firms operate from 08:00 to 22:00, seven days a week. A number of them, such as Hertz, operate reduced hours on weekends and midweek. They finish on these days at 16:30. If you want to liaise with staff face-to-face you should arrange to collect or return your car during these hours. If you do arrive during out-of-hours there will be a drop-box for your keys.

First car offered absolutely STANK of cigarette smoke. After rejecting that vehicle the replacement only smelled really bad of cigarette smoke. Absolutely disgusting.

Terrible. 2 hours to pick up the car with only 1 person at the counter and then charged 260 euro for 2 small nicks on back bumper less than a centimeter big that I have no way of knowing if they were there from the start because we were in such a hurry to leave.
