Luxury car rental requirements in Bilbao: age, licence, deposit
Confirm you meet the age and licence requirements before requesting a car, and ask about deposit terms for the model you want.
Eligibility criteria for renters
Every driver booking through Feriaint Bilbao must be at least 21 years old and have held a full driving licence for a minimum of 2 years. These are the baseline terms across the fleet, from premium sedans and SUVs to the sports cars and supercars we source on request. We check both the age and licence history before confirming any reservation.
Top-tier supercars — Ferrari, Lamborghini and similar high-output models — can carry a higher age or experience requirement than the standard 21-year, 2-year threshold. The exact sports car rental age requirement for a specific model is confirmed when you submit your request, since it depends on the car's power output and insurance terms rather than a single fixed rule.
The deposit for luxury car hire in Bilbao is not a flat figure. It scales with the value of the vehicle you book, so a premium SUV and a flagship supercar carry different amounts. We state the exact deposit for your chosen model when the booking is confirmed, alongside the rest of the terms.
Why thresholds vary
Insurers price risk by engine output and vehicle value, not just driver age. A 21-year-old with two years' experience can usually book a premium sedan or SUV without issue; the same driver may need a few more years on their licence to take out a top supercar.
What you need to book

Held for at least 2 years, in your own name and current at the date of collection.

Eligibility and deposit questions
Can someone under 25 rent a supercar in Bilbao?
Yes, provided they meet the age and licence threshold set for that specific model. The standard floor is 21 with 2 years' licence, but top-tier supercars often ask for a longer driving history, confirmed when you submit your request.
What documents are checked at handover?
We check your driving licence and a matching photo ID against the booking details, and confirm the licence has been held for the required period before handing over the keys.
Is a non-Spanish driving licence accepted?
Yes. EU and non-EU licences are accepted as long as they are valid, current and meet the 2-year minimum. International licences are checked alongside a passport or national ID at collection.
Is the deposit paid by card or bank transfer?
Either, depending on the vehicle and your preference. We confirm the method and amount once your model is agreed, ahead of collection.
Do the same requirements apply to chauffeur-driven bookings?
No. When you book a car with a driver, there is no licence or age check on the passenger, since you are not the one driving.
