Does Enterprise require an IDP in Spain?

Enterprise's minimum rental age is 21 in most of the U.S. (18 in Michigan and New York, and 18 for U.S. government employees on official orders); renters aged 21-24 pay a "Young Renter Fee" that typically averages around $25/day but varies by location (e.g., 21-24 is $15.75/day in Michigan and $30.75/day in New York, with 18-20 fees of $36.50 and $64.75/day respectively).

The contract holder must present their own credit card in their name with sufficient available credit; deposits typically run between $200 and $850 depending on location and vehicle class (airport holds are typically about 120% of the rental). Debit cards bearing a Visa, Mastercard, or Discover logo may be accepted at some locations, but at airports only with a ticketed return-travel itinerary, and prepaid cards are not accepted.

Each additional authorized driver is typically charged about $15.00 per day, but a renter's spouse or domestic partner who meets the same age and licence requirements is added at no charge. Enterprise requires each renter and additional driver to hold a valid, unexpired driver's licence; it does not publish a fixed minimum holding period in the U.S., though young-renter (under-25) restrictions and surcharges apply instead.

Taking a U.S.-rented vehicle across the Mexican or Canadian border requires advance approval; renters must contact the renting branch or call center for the correct procedure and any required insurance, and cross-border travel is restricted or prohibited at many locations. One-way rentals are offered but availability and drop-off fees vary by branch.

For renters under 25, Enterprise states it does not accept an International Driver's Permit as identification; a valid photo driver's licence is required. Foreign renters generally need their home-country licence (an IDP is recommended as a translation supplement but is not a stand-alone substitute for the licence).

Many former toll autopistas (AP) are now free, but remaining toll roads take cash and cards at booths, while newer free-flow gantry stretches require online payment within about 72 hours. Miss the window and the bill, plus an admin fee, is passed through the rental company; typical tolls run EUR 5-25.

Kerbside zona azul (blue) is short-stay paid parking and zona verde (green) favours residents; pay at the meter or via apps and display the ticket. Secure blue-P underground car parks cost roughly EUR 20-28 per 24h, and leaving a car in a regulated zone overnight risks a fine or grua (tow).

A 50% discount applies if a fine is paid within 20 days; police may demand on-the-spot payment from foreign drivers and can immobilise the car until paid. Phone use and no-seatbelt fines run into the low hundreds of euros, and under EU cross-border enforcement unpaid fines can be pursued back home.

Call 112; police must attend if there are injuries. For damage-only crashes complete the declaracion amistosa de accidente (European Accident Statement) signed by both drivers, photograph the scene, avoid moving vehicles when anyone is hurt, and notify the rental firm; carry and wear the reflective vest when exiting on a road.
