Barcelona car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Barcelona 
Verified travelerOct 2024
Book early to get the best price and parking is hard in Barcelona but worth it if you’ll be traveling outside the city
Verified travelerMar 2024
Just make sure to account for the Barcelona traffic in the morning, it was very hectic. Google maps was all over the place at times so have a back up navigation system. Also be ready to pay for tolls, a lot of them from BCN to south France.
Verified travelerMay 2024
Minivans are rare so if you need extra luggage etc book far ahead
Verified travelerJun 2023
Go slow and watch your mirrors. Make sure you know some of the basic rules of the road in Barcelona.

I would recommend renting earlier in the day.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Barcelona

  • Looking to rent a car on your trip to Barcelona? The quickest and best way to see the capital of Spain’s Catalonia region is by car, rather than taking the city‘s complicated underground Metro. Barcelona is well connected with a good road network and highway that leads directly into the city, so you can access all the main attractions. In the very heart of the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona Cathedral has ample parking nearby, as does the Olympic Stadium, where there is plenty of free parking on the streets. Plus Telefonica tower, Botanic gardens, Palau Sant Jordi, and Fundacio Joan Miro are all in the area.
  • Barcelona has one main airport which is about 15 km outside of the city center. If you’re landing in Barcelona-El Prat Airport, you’ll find that the best car hire companies are based onsite at Terminal 1 on the ground floor near baggage claim, and at Terminal 2 at the main exit hall and near the customs offices. There are also some car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services to off-site locations.
  • It’s important to remember that, while you’re enjoying the cityscape from the comfort of your hire car, city center driving is pretty intense. The changeable roadway system is packed with one-way streets and narrow alleys, so take care when navigating and maybe invest in renting a GPS to aid your journey.
  • When you visit Barcelona‘s city center, make sure to avoid driving during the busy rush hours of 8 am to 9:30 am and the evening rush hour between pm and 8:30 pm. At these times of day you must also watch out for the many tourists and pedestrians spilling onto the roads, as well as the bikes and motorbikes that take up part of the roads. You should particularly avoid driving down the narrow one-way roads that are either side of the central Ramblas Boulevard, the city’s busiest street.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Barcelona for ₪90 or less
  • Book your rental car in Barcelona at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Premium rental cars in Barcelona are around 112% more expensive than other car types, on average

Give us the car we booked with an Automatic trans, full size and clean with gas in it. When we have trouble with a vandalism and are standing at your counter, actually call the service people yourself rather than pass it on to us. Finally, when you charge me 1500 euro for a flat tire, give me a break down of the expenses so I canfile insurance. Or, just do what you did and I’ll go to Sixt next time.

Here's my mailing just from now with VIP cars, you can understand how was it: When trying to call Enterprise from the airport and from the train (never answers on the site) I clearly mentioned I will arrive few minutes after 13:00pm. Never told you 1.5h, don't know where this came from. 1. They moved to bizarre place arround the atation, into hotel, on a roof, around the roof, walking on the road with no pavement or how to roll the suitcases. For sure mature people would find it very difficult to arrive there and handle this difficult way, not to mention handicapped people, so many stairs with suitcases. 2. No one mentioned any directions to this bizarre place. No sign where to turn or any guidance. It felt like ESCAPE ROOM. Find Enterprise car rental. This alone cost us 20 minutes, and also because we were sharp and physically in shape! 3. I repeat myself again, why they never answered to me? To you? To mails? No phone call was answered, why? Why haven't they called us??? 4. Give me a break! Completing the papers, takes more than 15 minutes, no one was there completing any papers with anyone and handing them our car. CAR WAS NEVER THERE AT FIRST PLACE. 5. Many people came after us, and most of them if not all, had arguing with the representatives since no car was handed to them either. A Spanish couple stood there on the sun getting mad by rhetoric answers and going with no car. The site has problem with cars not related specifically to our case. 6. I would be more tolerant if anyone there would have been more helpful, with real intentions, or admitting at least they never had the car, or trying to upgrade with some extra money - anything, it would felt better. The representatives, to my opinion, was already fed by so many customers complaints from the last week of the holidays, and could barely handle more issues, like when we arrive, hence answers become rhetoric and automatic with zero understanding or trying to help. Then I called from the site to you, 30 minutes with a lady, she tried to help, she was smart and tried seeking a solution. However, you're not the car rental on the site, what can you do if they don't cooperate with you, and you have no influence! Then, she clearly said she will refund me. Listen to the phone conversation. I am saying again, we already had hotels booked and lost time, needed to take extra night in Barcelona, we didn't expect to stay, it was highly expensive due to last minute on holidays, plus taxis back and forth. Plus wasting full day on searching for another car. This all will be issued as a law procedure by my family lawyer. For sure Enterprise service would be known to anyone I know. So, don't tell me about 2 info's, since I know exactly what hell of a day was that, and it's implications.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service I received during my recent car rental attempt at Barcelona Airport. Despite having a confirmed reservation and providing all required details, including my credit card from Kosovo, I was informed upon arrival that Budget does not accept credit cards from my region. This refusal caused significant inconvenience and additional expenses, as I had to secure a rental from another company, GoldCar, at four times the original cost. Furthermore, at no point during the reservation process was I informed of this regional restriction, which I find unacceptable.

When picking up my vehicle, they insisted I take a hybrid vehicle saying it was going to get better mileage for the price and save me on gas but it had worse mileage compared to the vehicle I had reserved, so I really just paid more for gas and more for the vehicle they upsold me on. There was no financial benefit.

Everything was great with the rental until we dropped the car off in Madrid after 10 days and discovered we didn't have a spare tire for the whole trip. We were lucky that we never needed the spare. Not great attention to detail by Hertz in Barcelona. Lesson learned I will always check the spare tire from now on.

It was absolutely shocking, the car we had was an orange Volkswagen T Roc it had an oil leakage and the car broke down in the middle of Cambrils and we were left stranded as Hertz done absolutely nothing we clocked the SOS button in the car and we spoke to the people on the other side who said they sent out the police and a maintenance team. They did not, we were stuck at the side of a road in a foreign country for 5 hours waiting to be helped. We phoned the customer service who said they would send up a tow truck and the police too, and they again did not. We had to contact the police and the Road side team who them closed off the side of the road but they did not help us at all. The police finally came and again they could not help us so we were left stranded until we got a €250 taxi back to the airport. We had to go to the airport Hertz who gave us a car for “free” but I checked my bank account to see £500+ has been taken out my account for this absolutely shocking service. I was informed we would have got a taxi to Alicante for free and our money back but we have clearly gotten neither and when this was explained to us over the phone by customer services they then said that it was only a taxi to Barcelona airport. Shocking absolutely horrific.
