Though landlocked, Spain's capital city, Madrid, still offers a visual feast of exquisite architecture and cultural institutions, palate-pleasing culinary delights and exciting attractions for travelers to enjoy while on vacation in Spain. Renting a car in Spain will enhance your travel experience by offering a more affordable level of 24/7 independence you won't find with public transportation. The Madrid Chamartin Rail Station is just one of the well-situated locations in Madrid, where you can begin your journey! Other options to pick up and drop off your car rental include the Atocha Rail Station and MAD (Madrid Airport).
What's the best part of choosing the Chamartin Railway Station as your point of travel origin? You're outside what are considered to be the more alluring touristic districts of Madrid, so you can get on the road that much faster!
On your future visit to Spain, an international driver's permit (IDP) will be necessary to drive within the country. International drivers are legally required to possess an IDP in Spain, so we highly recommend that all our clients obtain an IDP in advance of their getaway. For additional info on which nations require an IDP and how to get one, please visit our International Driver's Permit FAQ page.
