BYD car rental in Barcelona
Kenan AlkanCity and intercity driver
Published Updated
Our fleet includes 2 BYD cars available for rent in Barcelona, with prices starting from €45 per day. We deliver the car to you anywhere in the city, and every booking is agreed with a manager. Choose between the electric BYD Atto 2 and the hybrid BYD Seal 6, both automatic and both with five seats.
What BYD car rental in Barcelona gives you
BYD car rental in Barcelona with Rent-Trip is a two-car fleet brought to you and booked through a manager. The whole arrangement is agreed when booking, before the car is handed over.
Two BYD models, delivered to you
We run a fleet of 2 cars — the Atto 2 and the Seal 6 — and we deliver the car to the client. Both seat 5 and both are automatic, so the choice comes down to powertrain rather than to gearbox or passenger count. The Atto 2 is an electric crossover at €45 a day; the Seal 6 is a hybrid DM-i sedan at €55 a day.
How the booking is agreed
The booking is agreed with a manager — dates, model and hand-over point are settled before the car is delivered. You tell us when you land and where you are staying, we confirm which of the two cars is free for those dates, and the hand-over point is fixed in the same conversation. Agreeing that point in advance matters more here than in a walk-up arrangement, because the car is brought to you. The paperwork itself — the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount — is set out in the agreement.
What the two cars have in common
- Seats: both the Atto 2 and the Seal 6 carry 5 people, so neither is the bigger car for a group.
- Transmission: automatic in both.
- Powertrain choice: one is fully electric, one is a hybrid DM-i.
- Price: €45 a day for the electric crossover, €55 for the hybrid sedan — a €10 gap per day.
- Term pricing: weekly from €270 and monthly from €945, priced as six and twenty-one days respectively.
The two BYD models you can rent here
Two cars, two powertrains — an electric crossover and a hybrid sedan, both five-seat and automatic.
BYD Atto 2 — the electric crossover
The BYD Atto 2 is an electric crossover with 5 seats, 177 hp, front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission, from €45 a day. It sits in the Electric class and runs on a battery alone, so there is no petrol engine to top up and no fuel stop in the middle of a short city run. Its 0 emisiones (blue) DGT badge is what lets it into the ZBE Rondes BCN without a second thought — worth knowing before you plan a route through the centre.
BYD Seal 6 — the hybrid DM-i sedan
The BYD Seal 6 is a hybrid DM-i sedan with 5 seats, a 1.5 L engine, 212 hp, front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission, from €55 a day.
Atto 2 and Seal 6 side by side
| Model | Class | Fuel | Output | Seats | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BYD Seal 6 | Sedan | Hybrid (DM-i) | 212 hp | 5 | €55/day |
Pick by how you will drive, not by size — the seats and the automatic gearbox are the same in both.
BYD car rental in Barcelona prices by class and by trip
Two classes, one price band, and longer bookings priced by the day rather than by the calendar week.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates
BYD car rental in Barcelona starts at €45 a day, with weekly bookings from €270 and monthly from €945. The band runs to €55 a day, so the two models sit €10 apart across every term. Weekly is priced as six days and monthly as twenty-one.
What each class costs
| Class | Model | Daily | Weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electric | BYD Atto 2 | €45 | €270 | €945 |
| Sedan | BYD Seal 6 | €55 | €330 | €1,155 |
What the price covers and what it does not
- Mandatory third-party cover: Spanish law requires every rental car on the road to carry Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil, and it is included in the rate — it covers injury and property damage to third parties, not the car itself.
Which term suits which trip
A city break of two to three days rarely justifies anything beyond the daily rate — you are paying for the car, not for the discount. A week is the first term where the six-day price starts to matter, and it fits the classic run out of the city: Sitges, Montserrat, the Penedès wine country or a loop up the Costa Brava. A month only makes sense if you are staying put and using the car daily; at that point the €945 monthly rate on the Atto 2 undercuts any combination of shorter bookings.
Which BYD car rental in Barcelona suits your trip
Both models on this page are automatic and seat five, so the real choice is between plugging in and not plugging in.
The electric Atto 2 and where it wins
The BYD Atto 2 is the electric option: a crossover with 177 hp, front-wheel drive and a 0 emisiones (blue) badge, from €45 a day. That badge is the practical part. It lets the car into the ZBE Rondes BCN, the low-emission zone covering more than 95 km² of the municipality, on working days from Monday to Friday — the streets of Ciutat Vella and L'Eixample included. Charging on the municipal Endolla Barcelona network runs on a pay-as-you-go basis with no subscription, which suits a car you will hand back in a few days. Plan your charging around the day rather than the tank, and the Atto 2 costs you less per day than the hybrid.
The hybrid Seal 6 and where it wins
The BYD Seal 6 is the hybrid DM-i sedan: a 1.5 L engine, 212 hp, front-wheel drive, automatic, from €55 a day.
Which one to pick
- City days: the Atto 2 — electric, 177 hp, €45 a day, and the cheapest way to cover short distances.
- Mixed week: book the hybrid if you are unsure; you can fuel it anywhere and still drive the centre.
- Two people, light luggage: either car does the job — both seat five and both are automatic.
BYD car rental in Barcelona delivery points
Hand-over is the part of BYD car rental in Barcelona that decides how your first hour with the car goes. We bring the vehicle to the point you agree with a manager.
The hand-over point is agreed when you book
We deliver the car to the client, so the meeting point is not fixed in advance on a map — it is settled with a manager when the booking is agreed, together with the dates and the model. That is the difference from a counter hand-over: nothing changes hands until the arrangement is confirmed. Because of that, the address you give matters as much as the dates do. Give the manager the place you will actually be standing at, not the one you booked months ago and have since changed. If the plan shifts, say so before the car leaves, not after.
What to have ready at the meeting point
- The agreed point: confirm the exact spot with the manager when the booking is agreed, and keep the same wording in the message as on the day.
- A reachable phone: the manager arranges the hand-over with you directly, so a number that works on the day is what makes the timing hold.
- Your dates: the period you agreed sets the whole arrangement, and a change to it is a change to the booking.
BYD car rental in Barcelona driving rules and tips
The city's low-emission zone, the Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondas de Barcelona (ZBE Rondes BCN), covers more than 95 km² — the whole municipality except the Zona Franca industrial estate and the Vallvidrera – el Tibidabo i les Planes neighbourhood, plus L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Sant Adrià de Besòs and parts of Esplugues de Llobregat and Cornellà de Llobregat. It runs on working days, Monday to Friday. The badge on the windscreen decides whether you drive in or around it.
Badges: what each BYD carries
- 0 emisiones (blue): the DGT badge for a battery-electric car — the BYD Atto 2 carries it, and it is the cleanest category the zone recognises.
Charging the electric Atto 2
The municipal network is Endolla Barcelona, and a tourist-mode charge on an electric hire car is paid per kWh with no subscription. For longer runs towards Sitges, Montserrat or the Costa Brava, check the return leg before you leave the city, because the charging you need on the way back is the one people forget.
Parking you will actually meet
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| AREA Blava A (blue zone, tariff A) | €2.50 per hour |
| AREA Blava B (blue zone, tariff B) | €2.25 per hour |
| Charging, tourist mode | paid per kWh, no subscription |
Pay at the parquímetre and keep the comprovant d'estacionament, because the number on the ticket has to match the car.
Documents, insurance and what the rental agreement sets out
Spain sets the paperwork baseline, and the rental agreement fills in the rest. Here is what is fixed by law, what is an option you choose, and what is settled when the booking is agreed.
The licence you drive on
- EU/EEA licence: fully valid in Spain while it has not expired, including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway — nothing extra is needed and no international permit is required.
- Third-country licence: valid if it is in force, if you are old enough in Spain for the equivalent category, and if six months have not passed since you took up ordinary residence in Spain.
- Licence not in Spanish: valid either with an official sworn translation into Spanish, or if it was issued to the model of Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
- Permiso Internacional de Conducción: a supplementary document shown only together with your passport and your national licence; valid one year, grey tri-fold cover, 16 pages in Spanish, German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian.
- Passport or ID: the original in the main driver's name — a rental-company requirement rather than a DGT rule.
DGT advises getting the international permit before you travel, and for Cyrillic, Arabic or character-based licences that advice is worth following literally: an IDP or a sworn translation is what makes the card readable at the roadside. The card itself, and the deposit behind it, are agreed when booking.
Insurance: what is always there and what you add
- Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil: included in every rental by Spanish law and in force at all times, even if the driver was not named in the agreement; it covers harm to third parties, not the driver and not the car, with limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR per incident for property damage.
What the agreement has to spell out
Spanish consumer rules require the advertised price to include every mandatory charge you cannot drive without — the compulsory liability insurance and any young-driver surcharge among them. The same rules require every scratch and dent to be written into the agreement or the inspection sheet before you drive off, signed by both sides, with a copy left with you; anything not recorded can otherwise be pinned on you afterwards. If the model you booked is not available, you may ask for another car at no extra cost, including a higher class; if you are given a lower class, the price must come down; and if the car does not match the agreed conditions — an automatic gearbox, four doors — the booking can be cancelled and the prepayment returned.
What to check before you book BYD car rental in Barcelona
Two cars, one price band from €45 to €55 a day, and a hand-over point that is agreed rather than picked off a rank. That is the whole shape of hiring a BYD from us — and because the fleet is this small, a few minutes of checking before you commit saves a wasted morning.
Confirm dates, model and hand-over point first
The booking is agreed with a manager, so nothing is locked until those three things are settled: the dates you need the car, which of the two models you want, and where the car should come to you. Ask about the BYD Atto 2 if your route runs through the city centre — its 0 emisiones (blue) badge is what admits it to the ZBE Rondes BCN on weekdays, Monday to Friday. Both seat five and both are automatic, so the choice really comes down to powertrain, not size.
Check the terms before you agree them
- Documents: EU and EEA licences are valid in Spain while they are in force; licences from outside the EEA are valid if they are in force, if you are old enough for the equivalent category, and within six months of taking up residence here.
- Licences not in Spanish: a licence in Cyrillic, Arabic or characters is accepted with an official certified translation, or if it was issued under the Geneva or Vienna convention model. The DGT recommends the Permiso Internacional de Conducción before you travel — it is valid for one year and is only ever shown together with your national licence and passport.
Match the model to the driving you will actually do
An electric crossover and a hybrid sedan behave differently over a week. Charging in the city runs through the Endolla Barcelona municipal network and EcoOne, which bills you per kWh with no subscription — handy if you are here for a few days rather than a month. If you are still weighing daily against weekly, remember weekly is priced as six days and monthly as twenty-one. Tell the manager how you plan to drive and let that decide the car.
