Car Hire in Santander Maliano

In the Maliano district, just southwest of Santander's city center, you'll find a car rental office that's ideal if you live or stay in the southern part of the city. The location is close to the airport and industrial areas along the S-10 road, just 3 km from the airport terminal. By car from here, you can reach Santander's famous promenade El Sardinero in 15 minutes.

Maliano borders the airport area and is a convenient option if you don't want to head into the city center to pick up your car. From here, it's easy to drive directly onto the A-8 motorway toward Bilbao or westward toward Asturias. The area is characterized by logistics and industry, but nature in Cantabria begins right outside the town.

Check whether the rental company offers airport pickup as an add-on – the Maliano office is close enough that it might be possible. Choose a car with good fuel efficiency if you're planning longer drives along Cantabria's winding coastal roads. Book well in advance since there's only one rental company at this location.

How do I get to the car rental in Maliano without a car? There are local buses from Santander's city center to Maliano, or alternatively a taxi from the airport, which is just 2 km away. Why is there only one rental company in Maliano?

Maliano is a smaller business area – for more options, we recommend Santander airport with 17 rental companies or the train station with 6. Can I return the car at a different location in Santander? It depends on the rental company's terms – ask specifically whether you can return it at the airport or train station for added flexibility.

We compare prices from all major providers at Santander Maliano so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
