Ebro car rental in Barcelona

Our fleet on this page is one car — the Ebro S400, a five-seat hybrid crossover with automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, a 1.5 L engine and 211 hp, from €40 per day. We deliver the car to you in Barcelona, and every booking is agreed with a manager.

What the Ebro S400 gives you on an Ebro car rental in Barcelona

This page covers one car: the Ebro S400. It is the model we hand over, and everything below — the specification, the rate, the way the booking works — describes that car and nothing else.

The Ebro S400 as a hybrid automatic crossover

We hand over the Ebro S400, a 5-seat hybrid automatic crossover with front-wheel drive. The body sits in the Crossover class, the gearbox is automatic, the engine is 1.5 L and it produces 211 hp. There is no manual option on this page and no second model to choose between: one car, one specification, one rate.

Ebro S400 specs at a glance

Is the Ebro S400 right for city driving and longer runs

The Ebro S400 suits both — a compact crossover body for tight streets and 211 hp for the motorway.

Ebro car rental in Barcelona prices and how long you book

Ebro car rental in Barcelona on this page has one rate, not a class ladder: the Ebro S400 at €40 per day.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates for the Ebro S400

Ebro car rental in Barcelona starts at €40 per day, €240 per week and €840 per month for the Ebro S400 — the same hybrid automatic crossover in every case, with 5 seats, a 1.5 L engine and 211 hp. There is no cheaper class to drop into and no larger one to step up to on this page, so the rate you see is the rate you pay for the car itself. The weekly figure is daily × 6 and the monthly figure is daily × 21.

What is included and what the agreement sets out

The deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement, and we confirm them with you before you commit. Spanish law requires every car on the road to carry Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil — third-party cover with limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR per incident for property damage — and that cover sits inside any booking. It protects the people you hit, not the car and not you, so the agreement is where the rest lives: what the excess is, how the deposit is blocked, what delivery costs and whether a longer stay earns a discount. Ask for them in the same message where you agree the dates.

How Ebro car rental in Barcelona works for delivery and hand-over

Ebro car rental in Barcelona with Rent-Trip is self-drive: you collect the car, you drive it, and no one sits beside you. The one thing that differs from a counter rental is where the hand-over happens — we bring the Ebro S400 to you, and the booking itself is agreed with a manager.

We deliver the Ebro S400 to you

We deliver the car to the client, and the delivery point is agreed with a manager when you book. That is the whole arrangement: you name the place, the manager confirms it, and the Ebro S400 arrives there. The same applies whether you are coming off a flight at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport, stepping off a train at Barcelona Sants railway station, walking down the gangway at the Port of Barcelona cruise terminals (Moll Adossat), leaving a trade fair at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, or staying in L'Eixample, Gràcia and Sarrià-Sant Gervasi. We do not run a desk you have to find. Agree the delivery point and the time in the same message as the booking — it is one conversation, not two.

Agreeing the booking with a manager

The booking is agreed with a manager, who confirms the car, the dates and the delivery. Nothing is charged through a self-service form: you write, the manager answers, and the Ebro S400 is held for the dates you settled on. Our fleet on this page is one car — a hybrid automatic crossover — so the manager confirms that specific vehicle rather than a class you hope to match at the desk. Ask before you confirm, not at hand-over.

Driving an Ebro car rental in Barcelona inside the ZBE Rondes

The Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondes 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.

Parking and paying to drive

• AREA Blava A: the blue parking zone at tariff A, charged at €2.5 per hour through the parquímetre.
• AREA Blava B: the second blue tariff at €2.25 per hour.
• Comprovant d'estacionament: keep the parking receipt — the plate number on it must match the car.

Documents and permits for Ebro car rental in Barcelona

The paperwork follows Spanish rules on driving licences and the environmental badge for the low-emission zone. What you bring to the booking, and what we ask for, are two different lists — and the second one is agreed with a manager.

Driving licences accepted for Ebro car rental

• EU/EEA licences: valid in Spain as they stand, for as long as they have not expired — no extra document is needed.
• Third-country licences: valid for driving in Spain if the licence is in force, the holder is old enough in Spain for the equivalent category, and no more than six months have passed since they took up ordinary residence in Spain.
• Licences not in Spanish: valid either with an official certified translation into Spanish, or if they were issued on the model of Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
• Permiso Internacional de Conducción: an additional document, shown only together with your passport and your national licence; it is valid for 1 year and runs to 16 pages in Spanish, German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian.

The DGT advises third-country drivers to get the international permit before the trip.

What we ask for, and what is agreed when booking

The deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement — none of them is a figure on this page.

Fines, insurance and the rental agreement on Ebro car rental in Barcelona

Two documents govern your Ebro car rental in Barcelona: the rental agreement you agree with a manager, and Spanish traffic law, which applies whether or not you have read it. The first sets out the money — deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts. The second sets the fines, the speed limits and the alcohol thresholds that apply on every road from L'Eixample out to the Rondes.

What Spanish law fixes, and what the agreement fixes

• Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil: compulsory third-party cover that comes with every legally registered car and applies even if the driver was not named in the agreement — it pays other people, not you and not the car.
• Statutory limits: 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury, however many people are hurt, and 15,000,000 EUR per incident for property damage.

Fines on the Ebro S400: who pays

Speeding penalties follow the DGT scale by limit and by how far over you were: 100 EUR with no points, 300 EUR with 2 points, 400 EUR with 4, 500 EUR with 6, and 600 EUR with 6 as a muy grave offence — a 100–600 EUR range carrying 2–6 points. Going more than 60 km/h over the limit in town, or more than 80 km/h outside it, is a criminal offence rather than an administrative fine. Alcohol limits are 0.25 mg/l of breath for most drivers and 0.15 mg/l for novices in their first two years and for professional drivers; above 0.60 mg/l it becomes a crime, and drink or drug offences cost 500–1000 EUR plus 4–6 points. A phone held in the hand is 200 EUR and 6 points, and an unfastened belt or a child without the required seat is 200 EUR and 4 points — child restraints are mandatory up to 135 cm. Pay within 20 calendar days and the fine is halved.

For parking and unpaid tolls, responsibility falls on the owner or the renter of the car; for moving violations, alcohol and drugs it falls on whoever was driving. If the offence was not handed over at the roadside, the authorities pursue the owner or the renter until the driver is established — and that includes rental and leasing vehicles. Deposit, excess, delivery fees and discounts sit in the rental agreement, never in a headline rate.

One more thing worth knowing before you sign: Spanish consumer rules require every scratch and dent to be written into the agreement or the inspection sheet before you drive away, signed by both sides, with a copy kept by the renter. Without that record, damage is charged to you. And if the booked model is not available, you may ask for another car at no extra cost — even a higher class — while a lower class than booked must come with a lower price. We confirm the car, the dates and the hand-over details with you when booking, so the agreement you sign matches the car you actually get.

Trips out of town with Ebro car rental in Barcelona

The Ebro S400 is a crossover, and the roads out of the city are where that body shape and the 211 hp actually earn their keep.

• Sitges: a coastal run south along the C-32, roughly 40 minutes of motorway, and the easiest first trip for anyone still getting used to the car.
• Montserrat: the mountain road up to the monastery, where the 1.5 L engine and the automatic gearbox take the gradient without you working a clutch.
• Costa Brava: the longest of the day trips.
• Andorra and the Pyrenees: the long runs, and the ones where you should check the mountain passes before you set off.

The C-16 and the Vallvidrera tunnels

Leaving the city to the north-west means the C-16 through the Túnels de Vallvidrera, the toll route toward Sant Cugat and the Vallès.

What to settle before a long run

Whether the car may be taken outside mainland Spain, and any conditions attached to that, is agreed when you book with our manager — Andorra sits over the border, so raise it before the dates are confirmed, not on the morning of the trip.

Practical conclusions on Ebro car rental in Barcelona

One model, one rate, one conversation with a manager — that is the whole shape of Ebro car rental in Barcelona on this page. The Ebro S400 is a 5-seat hybrid automatic crossover with front-wheel drive, a 1.5 L engine and 211 hp, and it costs €40 per day, €240 per week or €840 per month. Everything else is agreed when you book: the delivery point, the deposit, the insurance excess and any discount.

• Set the delivery in the same message as the booking: the car is brought to you, and the point and time are one arrangement with the manager, not a separate request later.
• Plan the long runs: 1.5 L and 211 hp matter on the motorway out of the city, and Sitges, Montserrat, Costa Brava, Girona, Tarragona and PortAventura, the Penedès wine country, Andorra, the Pyrenees and La Cerdanya all sit within a day's reach.

The honest summary: if you want a hybrid automatic crossover for city streets and weekend motorway runs, the Ebro S400 covers both without a class ladder to compare. If you need a different body style or a manual gearbox, this page will not help you — and it is better to know that before you book than after.
