Convertibles car rental in Barcelona

Convertibles car rental in Barcelona starts with nine open-top cars in our fleet, from €35 a day for a Fiat 500C up to €1,310 for an Aston Martin DB11 Volante. We deliver the car to you anywhere in the city — the airport, Sants station, your hotel or the cruise terminals at Moll Adossat — and the booking is agreed with a manager.

Which convertibles can you rent in Barcelona

Rent-Trip keeps 9 convertibles here, from the Fiat 500C at €35 per day to the Aston Martin DB11 Volante at €1,310 per day. Below is the full line-up with seats, fuel, transmission, drivetrain, engine, power and price, then a closer look at the two ends of the range.

The full convertible line-up and what each model offers

Entry-level and mid-range convertibles

The Fiat 500C at €35 per day is our entry option — a 4-seat Hybrid with manual transmission, front-wheel drive, a 1.0 L engine and 70 hp. One step up, the Mini Cooper Convertible costs €95 per day: 4 seats, Petrol, automatic, front-wheel drive, 1.5 L and 136 hp. The BMW 4 Series Convertible at €180 per day moves the same four seats onto rear-wheel drive with a 2.0 L engine and 184 hp. In our experience, the 500C suits short city hops and tight parking where a larger cabriolet is harder to place, while the Mini and the BMW cover longer days without giving up an open roof.

Performance and luxury convertibles

The Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S Cabriolet at €576 per day and the Bentley Continental GTC at €706 per day top our performance range, with the Aston Martin DB11 Volante at €1,310 per day above them. Between those ends sit the Ford Mustang Convertible at €336 per day (5.0 L, 450 hp), the Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Cabriolet at €400 per day (3.0 L, 390 hp) and the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 at €464 per day (4.0 L, 400 hp, 2 seats). All-wheel drive on the Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Cabriolet and the Bentley Continental GTC adds traction on wet coastal roads. Match the model to the trip — a 2-seat Boxster suits a couple, while 4-seat cabriolets carry passengers and luggage.

What convertibles car rental in Barcelona costs

Rates for open-top hire in Barcelona run from €35 to €1,310 per day, and the fleet is priced by model rather than by a single flat figure. Longer bookings move the total: weekly rates start at €210, monthly at €735.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates explained

Open-top hire starts at €35 per day, with weekly rates from €210 (daily × 6) and monthly rates from €735 (daily × 21). We set those two multipliers once, so a week is charged as six days and a month as twenty-one, whichever cabriolet you pick. On the Fiat 500C that puts a week at €210 and a month at €735; on the BMW 4 Series Convertible at €180 per day the same week comes to €1,080. The Aston Martin DB11 Volante at €1,310 per day is the top of the range, and its monthly figure follows the same daily × 21 rule. In our practice, most open-top bookings in the city run three to five days, which is where the weekly rate starts to pay off against day-by-day pricing. Compare the weekly and monthly totals against your actual number of days before you choose — that single comparison decides more of the final bill than the model does.

Price by model

The gap between the Mini Cooper Convertible at €95 and the BMW 4 Series at €180 buys rear-wheel drive and 184 hp, not just a badge. Power climbs in steps rather than smoothly: 70 hp in the Fiat, 136 hp in the Mini, 184 hp in the BMW, then a jump to 390 hp in the Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Cabriolet and 450 hp in both the Ford Mustang Convertible and the Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S Cabriolet. The Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 sits at 400 hp with two seats instead of four, the Bentley Continental GTC at 550 hp, and the Aston Martin DB11 Volante at 510 hp. If two of you are travelling, the Boxster's lower weight makes it quicker point to point than several cars with more horsepower on paper.

What the rental agreement sets out

The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fees are set out in the agreement, not fixed on this page. Those three figures depend on the model you pick and on the protection level you take, so we confirm them with you when the booking is agreed rather than quoting a number here. The same applies to the young-driver surcharge and to the minimum rental age — both are agreed when booking. Read the excess figure before you drive off: it is the amount you carry if the car is damaged, and it is printed regardless of the protection you choose. Ask for it in writing at the same time as the deposit amount, so the two sit side by side in one document.

Convertibles car rental in Barcelona fleet specs

Every car in the convertible line-up is two seats or four, petrol or hybrid, automatic or manual — and those three choices decide which model suits your trip.

Two seats or four: what the cabin actually gives you

The Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 is the only two-seater in the class, with 400 hp, a 4.0 L engine and rear-wheel drive at €464 per day; the other eight convertibles carry four seats each. Four seats in an open-top car are not the same as four seats in a saloon — the rear bench in the BMW 4 Series Convertible, the Ford Mustang Convertible and the Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Cabriolet is shaped for two adults on short hops, and folding the roof eats into the boot on most of them. The Fiat 500C, the Mini Cooper Convertible and the BMW 4 Series Convertible are front- or rear-wheel drive with 4 seats, so luggage for four people fits better in the Mustang or the Bentley Continental GTC. If you are travelling as a couple, the Boxster gives you the sharpest handling and no rear seats to pay for; if you are four, book a 4-seat cabriolet and pack soft bags.

Petrol, hybrid and gearbox: matching the car to the road

Eight of the nine convertibles run on petrol and one — the Fiat 500C — is a hybrid with a 1.0 L engine, 70 hp and a manual gearbox, the only manual in the class. Everything else shifts automatically: the Mini Cooper Convertible with 136 hp, the BMW 4 Series Convertible with 184 hp, the Ford Mustang Convertible with a 5.0 L V8 and 450 hp, the Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Cabriolet with 390 hp, the Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S Cabriolet with 450 hp, the Bentley Continental GTC with a 6.0 L unit and 550 hp, and the Aston Martin DB11 Volante with 510 hp. The Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 pairs its 400 hp with a 4.0 L flat-six and rear-wheel drive at €464 per day.

• Front-wheel drive: the Fiat 500C and Mini Cooper Convertible — the easiest pair to thread through Ciutat Vella and park in tight bays.
• Rear-wheel drive: the BMW 4 Series, Ford Mustang, Porsche 718 Boxster, Porsche 911 and Aston Martin DB11 Volante.
• All-wheel drive: the Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Cabriolet and Bentley Continental GTC — extra traction on wet coastal tarmac.
• Hybrid: the Fiat 500C only, at €35 per day.

Engine size and power: what the numbers mean on the road

Power in this fleet runs from 70 hp in the Fiat 500C to 550 hp in the Bentley Continental GTC, and engine size from 1.0 L to 6.0 L. In our experience the middle of that range is where most open-top trips sit comfortably: 184 hp in the BMW 4 Series Convertible at €180 per day is enough for the motorway run south to Sitges and back without working the gearbox, while the 450 hp Ford Mustang Convertible at €336 per day turns the same route into the point of the rental. Above that, the Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S Cabriolet at €576 per day and the Aston Martin DB11 Volante at €1,310 per day are rear-wheel drive with 450 hp and 510 hp respectively — cars where the throttle matters more than the destination. Pick the smallest engine that covers your longest planned drive, then spend the difference on days rather than horsepower.

Convertibles car rental in Barcelona booking details

A convertible is the one class where the booking conversation matters more than the click. Two-seat and four-seat cabriolets, hybrid and petrol, manual and automatic — the fleet on this page is small enough that we confirm the exact car, the dates and the hand-over with you before anything is fixed.

How a Rent-Trip booking is agreed

Every booking is agreed with a manager: you send the dates and the model you want, and a manager confirms the car, the price and the hand-over arrangements with you. Rent-Trip holds 9 convertibles for this city, so the Aston Martin DB11 Volante at €1,310 per day and the Fiat 500C at €35 per day are both confirmed the same way — one conversation, not an automated queue. We deliver the car to you, and the delivery point and time are part of what the manager agrees with you when booking. If the exact cabriolet you picked is unavailable for your dates, the manager tells you before anything is confirmed rather than after. Nothing on this page is a live availability calendar — treat it as the fleet we run, and let the booking conversation settle the rest.

• Delivery point: agreed with the manager when booking — we bring the car to you rather than asking you to collect it.
• Hand-over time: set in the same conversation, so it fits your flight, train or cruise arrival.
• Model confirmation: the manager confirms your chosen cabriolet, or offers an alternative from the 9.
• Deposit and excess: the amounts are set out in the rental agreement, never fixed on this page.
• Delivery fees: also set out in the rental agreement, and confirmed before you commit.
• Additional drivers: who may drive is agreed when booking and written into the agreement.

What to have ready before the manager confirms

The rental agreement carries the deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fees, and those figures are set out there rather than quoted here — read them before you agree, not at hand-over. Have your driving licence and your identification to hand when the manager confirms the booking, so nothing stalls the confirmation. If you are weighing a two-seat Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 against a four-seat Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Cabriolet, tell the manager who is travelling: seat count and luggage are the two things that most often change a convertible booking after the fact, and both are cheaper to settle in the conversation than in the agreement.

Driving a rented convertible in Barcelona

Speed limits are set by road type, and the open-top model you pick changes how those limits feel. Two-seat cabriolets and 4-seat convertibles drive under the same rules, but the ZBE Rondes BCN low-emission zone covers more than 95 km² — the whole municipality except the Zona Franca industrial area 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.

Speed limits and where they apply

• Autopista / autovía: 120 km/h for passenger cars, motorcycles and motorhomes up to 3,500 kg.
• Rondes B-10 and B-20 inside the city: 80 km/h as the general motorway limit within a built-up area unless a sign says otherwise.
• Ordinary interurban road (carretera convencional): 90 km/h, which the road owner may raise to 100 km/h.
• City street, one lane each way: 30 km/h, which the municipality may raise to 50 km/h with a separate sign.
• City street, two or more lanes each way: 50 km/h — bus and reserved transport lanes do not count towards the total.
• Single-platform street where carriageway and pavement share one level: 20 km/h.

Environmental sticker and the ZBE

Every car we hand over carries a DGT environmental sticker — 0 emisiones for the hybrid Fiat 500C, ECO for the rest of the fleet. The ZBE Rondes BCN runs on working days, Monday to Friday, and a foreign-plated car needs prior registration in the Registre metropolità de vehicles estrangers i altres vehicles autoritzats a les zones de baixes emissions before it may enter; our cars are already registered, so you drive in without a separate step.

Parking, tolls and fuel

The tunnel toll applies on the run out of the city towards Sant Cugat and the Vallès, and the C-16 carries you inland if you head for the mountains. Fuel at municipal pumps averages €1.953 per litre for Gasolina 95 E5, with a measured minimum of €1.758 and a maximum of €2.059 across 74 filling stations. Blue-zone parking is charged by the hour and a parking ticket must match the registration plate — check the number on the printed receipt before you walk away.

Alcohol, phone and seatbelt rules

Spain's general alcohol limit is 0.25 mg per litre of breath, dropping to 0.15 mg for drivers in their first two years and for professional drivers; anything above 0.60 mg is a criminal offence. A phone in your hand costs €200 and 6 points, and the same €200 with 4 points applies to seatbelts and child seats. Child restraints are mandatory for anyone under 135 cm tall, and above that height a standard belt is allowed. Fines run from leve at up to €100 without points through grave at €200 to muy grave at €500 with points always attached, and paying within 20 calendar days cuts the amount by 50%.

Documents and licence rules for renting a convertible in Spain

Spain applies one set of licence rules to every rental car, and an open-top model is no exception. Below is what the DGT requires of a driver, and what we ask for when you collect the keys.

Which driving licences Spain accepts

• EU and EEA licences: fully valid in Spain for as long as they have not expired — Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway included, with no extra paperwork and no international permit needed.
• Third-country licences: valid if the licence 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.
• Licences not in Spanish: accepted either with an official certified translation into Spanish, or if the document itself follows Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
• International Driving Permit: a supplementary document only — it is shown together with your passport and national licence, never on its own, and it runs for one year.

What to bring to the hand-over

The documents you present are agreed when booking. Our fleet includes a Fiat 500C with manual transmission, so if you have only ever driven an automatic, say so when you book — we agree the model and the terms with you at that stage. The deposit amount, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not on this page. Minimum age, driving experience and the young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking, as they are not fixed by Spanish law.

Insurance that comes with the car

Every car legally on Spanish roads carries compulsory third-party liability cover, and it is included in the rental by law — the limits are €70,000,000 per incident for personal injury and €15,000,000 for property damage. It covers harm to other people, not the driver and not the car itself. Collision damage waiver, theft protection, the partial and full buy-outs of the excess, and glass-and-tyres cover are options on top, each with its own excess printed in the agreement. Before you drive off, walk around the car and have every scratch and dent written into the hand-over document — both sides sign it and your copy is what protects you later.

Day trips in a rented convertible from Barcelona

An open-top car turns the roads around the city into the destination itself: the C-16 through the Túnels de Vallvidrera climbs out towards Sant Cugat and the Vallès, and the coastal run south to Sitges is under an hour with the roof down. We hand the car over with a full tank, so a day trip starts the moment you pull away.

Routes that suit an open-top car

• Sitges: the coastal drive south on the C-32, roughly 35 km, with sea views most of the way and beach parking at the far end.
• Montserrat: the mountain road inland, where the drop in temperature at altitude makes a cabriolet pleasant rather than punishing.
• Costa Brava: the longest of the day options, and the one where a 4-seat cabriolet with luggage space earns its keep.
• Penedès wine country: vineyard roads with almost no motorway time, ideal for a 4-seat cabriolet carrying passengers.
• Girona and Tarragona: both reachable and back within a day, though Tarragona pairs better with PortAventura if you are travelling with children.

What the car has to handle

The 4-seat models in our convertible fleet carry passengers and luggage for a full day out; the 2-seat Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 does not, and it is the one to avoid if you are packing beach bags. Petrol is Gasolina 95 E5, and the average price across the 74 stations measured in the municipality of Barcelona is 1.953 per litre, with a minimum of 1.758 and a maximum of 2.059. Fill up before you leave the city rather than on the coast road, where the spread between stations is wider. The C-16 through the Túnels de Vallvidrera is a toll road, and how the toll is settled is agreed when booking.

Parking and the low-emission zone on your return

It operates on working days, Monday to Friday. On-street parking is AREA Blava: 2.5 per hour in zone A and 2.25 in zone B. In our experience, the practical move is to return the car before the evening peak and let the manager confirm the drop-off timing when you book.

Convertibles car rental in Barcelona pre-booking decisions

Two decisions shape the whole booking: the model and the length of the hire. Below is what we ask travellers to settle before they confirm, so the car that arrives is the car they pictured.

Pick the model by the people, not by the badge

• Two seats or four: the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 carries two, every other convertible in our fleet of 9 seats four, so a couple touring alone has a genuine choice and a family does not.
• Luggage before looks: an open roof leaves a small boot on most cabriolets, and the 500C and Mini Cooper Convertible are the tightest of the nine.
• Roof type: all 9 cars are convertibles with a folding roof, not fixed-roof coupés with a sunroof, so the open-air drive is the point of the booking.
• Hybrid or petrol: only the Fiat 500C runs Hybrid; the other eight burn Petrol, which matters if you plan long runs out of the city.
• Manual or automatic: the Fiat 500C is the single Manual in the class, and the remaining eight are Automatic — worth checking if you have not driven a clutch for years.

Match the length of hire to the trip

Daily rates across the fleet run from €35 to €1,310, weekly rates start at €210 and monthly rates at €735, so a week or a month changes the arithmetic more than any single model choice. If your dates are fixed, decide the number of days first and the car second: a longer booking on a mid-range cabriolet can cost less in total than a short one on a flagship. We deliver the car to you, and every booking is agreed with a manager, so the hand-over point and the timing are settled in that conversation rather than assumed.

Settle the paperwork questions early

Deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement, and the excess figure is printed there whichever protection level you take. Licence requirements for driving in Spain, the minimum rental age and the young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking, so ask before you pay rather than at hand-over. Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondas de Barcelona (ZBE Rondes BCN) covers more than 95 km² of the municipality, and a convertible with a 0 emisiones or ECO distintivo ambiental enters freely — worth confirming against the model you choose if your route crosses the Rondes.
