Car hire at A Coruña airport
Land at Alvedro and walk out with your car keys in hand, ready for the Rías Altas.
A Coruña Airport (Alvedro) is about 8 km from the city centre, in the municipality of Culleredo, making it a very convenient gateway both for those visiting A Coruña and for those heading to the Rías Altas or the Costa da Morte. Hiring a car at this airport means starting your trip with the keys in hand as soon as you leave the terminal, without relying on transfers or bus timetables to reach your accommodation.
At Gavendo we work as an intermediary with negotiated rates since 1982, so when you book your car at A Coruña airport (LCG) you get a fixed price agreed in advance and support in several languages should any query arise. Ideal if your plans include exploring the Galician cliffs, the lighthouses along the coast, or simply moving freely around the Rías Altas without being tied to timetables.

The collection desk is at A Coruña Airport (Alvedro) terminal itself, just a few steps from the arrivals area. As soon as you collect your luggage, simply follow the car hire signs to find the key handover point. Being a manageable-sized airport, the journey from plane to car is quick, without the endless waits found at larger airports.
How the process works as soon as you land
With your Gavendo booking confirmed, the process is simple: present your ID, driving licence and the card used to book, check the car's condition together and sign the contract. Within 10-15 minutes you're usually on the road, with no last-minute surprises since price and terms were already fixed when you booked.
Why book before arriving in Culleredo
Booking your car at A Coruña airport in advance guarantees two things: the negotiated price Gavendo secures thanks to over 40 years working with leading companies, and availability of the vehicle you need. Arriving without a booking in high season can mean paying more or finding the fleet sold out.
From the airport to the Rías Altas and the Costa da Morte
A Coruña Airport (Alvedro) is about 8 km from the city, in Culleredo, so you'll be on the road within minutes. From here, a car is the easiest way to explore the Rías Altas and reach the cliffs and lighthouses of the Costa da Morte, two areas where public transport is limited and the freedom of your own schedule is welcome.
Returning the car and one-way hire
You can return the vehicle at A Coruña airport itself, following the rent-a-car return signage, with plenty of time before checking in for your flight. If your route ends in another city, depending on the company it's possible to arrange a return at a different point (one-way); ask us when booking to confirm availability and the corresponding surcharge.
