After stepping off the plane and clearing arrivals, the rental company counters are signposted inside the Seville-San Pablo terminal itself. There's no need to head out to find a bus or move to another area: with Gavendo we tell you the exact counter and the time you need to be there in advance, so you arrive with no doubts or unnecessary detours.
How the process works step by step
When you book with us, your car is already assigned before you fly. On arrival at Seville-San Pablo, just go to the assigned company's counter with your booking, ID or passport and the cardholder's credit card. Within minutes you sign the contract, check the vehicle and head out of the airport straight onto the road, with no last-minute queues or availability surprises.
Why it pays to book before arriving
Booking in advance has two clear advantages: price and a guaranteed car. As brokers with rates negotiated with the leading companies, we secure better terms than those found by turning up without a booking at the counter on the day. It also ensures the model and category you need are available on arrival, which isn't always the case if you leave the decision until the last minute.
From Seville Airport to all of western Andalusia
Seville-San Pablo Airport is just 10 km from the city centre, making it the natural gateway to western Andalusia. With your car collected the moment you land, you can head straight for Córdoba, Cádiz, Huelva or the Costa de la Luz without relying on trains or buses, moving around the whole region at your own pace.
Alternative without a car: the EA special bus
If your plan is to stay only in Seville city centre for the first few days and collect the car later, the airport has the EA special bus connecting directly to the city centre. Even so, most of our customers prefer to have the vehicle from the very start to avoid wasting time on connections.
Drop-off and one-way option
You can return the car at Seville-San Pablo Airport at the end of your trip, with the same smooth process as collection. Depending on the company, it's also possible to arrange a drop-off in another city (one-way) if your Andalusia itinerary ends elsewhere, for example Málaga or Granada. Ask us about the conditions and any surcharge before booking.
What's included with your car from Gavendo
With over 40 years of experience, at Gavendo we offer rates negotiated directly with the companies, customer support in several languages before, during and after your trip, and clear information on insurance, excess and fuel from the moment you book. That way you arrive in Seville knowing exactly what to expect at the counter.
- Late arrivals — If your flight lands late or in the early hours, confirm the time when booking: we'll let you know if your company's counter operates at that hour.
- Documents to hand — Bring your ID or passport, driving licence and the cardholder's credit card; it speeds up the process at the counter considerably.
- Check the car before setting off — Before driving away, check any marks or details of the vehicle with the counter staff and make sure they're noted on the contract.
