FAQ

1. What is the minimum age to rent a car in Barcelona airport?

The minimum age to rent a car in Barcelona airport is typically 21 years. Drivers aged 21–24 may face a young driver surcharge of €10–30 per day. Some premium and luxury vehicles require the driver to be at least 25. Always check the specific rental company's age policy before booking.

2. How far in advance should I book a rental car in Barcelona airport?

For the best rates, we recommend booking your rental car in Barcelona airport at least 3–6 weeks ahead. During peak season (June–September) or major events, booking 2–3 months in advance is advisable. Early booking not only guarantees availability but also unlocks lower prices and a wider choice of vehicles.

3. Can I return the rental car in a different city or country?

Yes, one-way rentals are available with most major companies in Spain. Returning within the same country usually costs €30–100 extra. Cross-border returns to other EU countries are also possible but carry a higher fee — typically €100–300 depending on the distance. Always confirm the one-way policy when booking.

4. When will the security deposit be returned to my card?

The security deposit is typically released within 7–14 business days after you return the car, provided there is no damage. Some banks may take up to 30 days to process the refund. The deposit is a temporary hold on your credit card — the actual amount blocked depends on the vehicle class and insurance coverage chosen.

  • Street parking — metered zones, typically €1–3/hour

However, some economy deals may include a daily cap (e.g. 200–300 km/day) with extra charges per kilometre beyond the limit. Always check the mileage policy in your booking confirmation — unlimited mileage offers the best value for longer trips.

7. What should I do in case of an accident with the rental car?

If you have an accident in Barcelona airport:

  1. Ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services if needed (112 in Europe)
