Most provider desks are conveniently located in the Arrivals Hall of the terminal building. For those located slightly off-site, a frequent shuttle service is provided to their nearby offices.

Book with Zest Car Rental at Asturias Airport

We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to exploring the emerald valleys and dramatic mountain fells of Northern Spain.

Unlock the real Asturias

Asturias Airport is the perfect starting point for discovering "Spain’s Natural Paradise." With a rental car, you can reach the historic Oviedo City Centre in just 35 minutes to sample local cider and pre-Romanesque architecture. For a coastal vibe, the beaches of Gijón are roughly 30 minutes east. If you seek the high-altitude fells and glacial lakes of the Picos de Europa, you are roughly 90 minutes away, all easily accessible from the terminal.

Asturias is a region best explored at your own pace. From the hidden sea caves of the "Costa Verde" to the mist-shrouded fells of the interior, a rental car allows you to bypass the limited public transport routes and find the authentic cider houses (sidrerías) tucked away in the mountain villages.

Our Fleet at Asturias Airport

At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Asturias Airport to suit every journey. Whether you need a compact car for navigating the winding streets of Cudillero, a spacious SUV for a family trip to the mountain fells, or a premium vehicle for a comfortable drive along the Cantabrian coast, we have the perfect fit for you. All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.

One Way Rentals from Asturias Airport

Pick up your car at Asturias Airport and drop it off in Santander, Bilbao, or even Santiago de Compostela. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore the rugged beauty of Northern Spain without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your road trip.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.

Driver Age Requirements in Spain

Can I rent a car in Asturias if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically start at 21 depending on the car group.

Can I rent a car in Asturias if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Spain. Most standard rentals have no additional fees, though we always recommend checking the specific terms for your chosen vehicle.

What is the best time of year to explore Asturias by car?

Asturias is famous for its lush greenery, which means rain can occur year-round. The summer months (June to August) offer the best weather for the beaches and high-altitude hiking in the fells. Autumn (September to October) is spectacular for the harvest season and changing forest colours, while the mild, crisp spring is ideal for seeing the mountain waterfalls at their peak.

Essential Tips for Driving in Spain

In 2026, the A-8 motorway provides a scenic and largely toll-free route along the coast, though tolls apply on the AP-66 heading south; we recommend checking your route on arrival and asking your provider for the latest details. Using dipped headlights is mandatory in tunnels and strongly recommended during the day for safety on winding mountain fells. Your rental vehicle must carry a V-16 connected emergency light; geolocated beacons are now the legal standard in Spain, replacing traditional warning triangles. Additionally, be aware of the ZBE Low Emission Zones now active in Oviedo and Gijón; your provider will be happy to ensure your car has the correct environmental sticker for legal access. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
