Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Lugo car hire lets you drive with confidence. It protects you from paying a hefty excess fee in case of theft or a collision. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so compare before you commit.

Good to know

  • To rent a car in Spain, you usually have to be at least 21 years old. Some locations may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles at an extra cost, so always check the policies before locking in your ride.
