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.

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).

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. Compare the weekly and monthly totals against your actual number of days before you choose.

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.

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. The same applies to the young-driver surcharge and to the minimum rental age — both are agreed when booking.

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.

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.

• Front-wheel drive: the Fiat 500C and Mini Cooper Convertible.
• 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.
• 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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

• Costa Brava: the longest of the day options.
• 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

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. The C-16 through the Túnels de Vallvidrera is a toll road.

Parking and the low-emission zone on your return

On-street parking is AREA Blava: 2.5 per hour in zone A and 2.25 in zone B.

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.
• 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.
• 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. 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

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.
