Where are the car rental desks at Santiago de Compostela airport?

The car hire offices are on the ground floor of the terminal building at Santiago airport. Many of the car hire companies have their vehicles parked within the airport grounds but some such as Goldcar and Sixt offer a shuttle bus service to take you to where you can collect your car. This is a free service and only takes a few minutes.

To find the shuttle buses, go down to floor -3 from the arrivals hall and the shuttle bus meeting point is inside the parking area. Look out for the shuttle meeting point sign.

If you need to refuel on your return, there is a petrol station at the last roundabout before you reach the airport. Though do bear in mind that you are likely to find cheaper fuel away from the airport.
