Tips for car rental in Spain

  • Age - You have to be at least 21 or 25 years old to rent a car in Spain while 65 years is the upper age limit set by many car rental companies.

  • License - For car rentals in Barcelona, renters must provide a valid driving license or an International Driving Permit (IDP), in case, the original driving license is not issued in the EU.

Car parking in Barcelona

We recommend you to park the car rental only when you are sure that the spot is a designated parking area and where you won’t be charged a penalty. If you are exploring Barcelona by car then car parking will not be a big deal as there are numerous parking options in the form of public car parks and garages.

Though, you might have a tough time finding a place to park right in front of any destination, you can go for paid parking at hotels in central Barcelona. Choose a smaller car to be able to park easily as the parking space in Barcelona might not be suitable for bigger cars. If you are going to stay in Barcelona for more than a month then you can buy a monthly parking pass.
