POWER OF ATTORNEY

      The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of Christopher Pfirrman, Rich Walden,
and Kristopher R. Tate, signing singly, as the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

      (1)     execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity as a
      director and/or officer of Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (the
      "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
      Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder (the "Exchange
      Act") and Form ID, if necessary, to obtain EDGAR codes and related
      documentation for use in filing Forms 3, 4 and 5;

      (2)     do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which may
      be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 or
      Form ID, complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and file
      such forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock
      exchange or similar authority;

      (3)    take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing
      which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best
      interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being understood that the
      documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned
      pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such
      terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's
      discretion; and

      (4)     seek or obtain, as the undersigned's attorney-in-fact and on the undersigned's
      behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company's securities from any
      third party, including brokers, employee benefit plan administrators and trustees,
      and the undersigned hereby authorizes any such person to release any such
      information to such attorney-in-fact and approves and ratifies any such release of
      information.

      The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do
and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in
connection with the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents
and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution
or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's
substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and
the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact,
in serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming,
any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

      This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the undersigned is no longer
required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in
securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to
the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

      This Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from responsibility for compliance with the
undersigned's obligations under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, the reporting requirements
under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Additionally, although pursuant to this Power of Attorney the Company will
use commercially reasonable best efforts to timely and accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the
undersigned, the Company does not represent or warrant that it will be able to in all cases timely and accurately
file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned due to various factors and the undersigned's and the Company's
need to rely on others for information, including the undersigned and brokers of the undersigned.

[Signature Page Follows]

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned had caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 28th day of August, 2017.
