What this means if you are flying to Spain
- Which airport you land at changes the price of the same extras. Across Spain the second-driver fee runs €32 to €84. If your trip works from more than one airport, that difference is worth checking before you book the flight.
- Deposits vary more than prices do. From €250 to €1,000 held on the main driver's card. It is a pre-authorisation rather than a charge, but it has to fit — and a card limit is a harder constraint than a budget.
- Assume you will pay for a second driver. Between 70% and 100% of suppliers charge for one here, so a price quoted without it is not the price.
- Airport or town desk? We have not measured which is cheaper yet, so we won't guess. We are measuring it now and will publish the numbers.
