Electric car rental in Barcelona
Kenan AlkanCity and intercity driver
Published Updated
Insurance, delivery and a set of nine electric cars are what we arrange for self-drive hire in Barcelona, with rates from €34 per day. We bring the car to you — the airport, the station, your hotel or a cruise terminal — and every booking is agreed with a manager before hand-over.
Why electric car rental in Barcelona makes sense for a city break
What makes an EV different from petrol here
Rent-Trip runs 9 electric cars from €34 a day, all automatic, all delivered to the client. The fleet starts at the Citroen e-C3 and the Fiat 500e, both at €34, and runs up to the Tesla Model 3 at €72 and the Ford Mustang Mach-E at €85. Every car is front-wheel drive except the two rear-wheel models, and power ranges from 113 hp in the Citroen e-C3 to 283 hp in the Tesla Model 3.
Who an electric car suits best
- City-based travellers: you stay in L'Eixample or Gràcia, drive short daily loops and never need a 600 km range.
- Anyone nervous about a manual: every car on this page is automatic, which matters on the hills and the roundabouts.
Electric car rental in Barcelona and the ZBE Rondes BCN rules
The ZBE Rondes BCN covers more than 95 km² — effectively the whole municipality — and an electric car enters it freely.
Can you drive an electric rental car in Barcelona into the ZBE
Yes — every car in our electric fleet carries the 0 emisiones (blue) DGT label, and that label is what allows entry into the ZBE Rondes BCN. The zone takes in the entire municipality except the Zona Franca industrial estate and the Vallvidrera – el Tibidabo i les Planes neighbourhood, and it also reaches into L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Sant Adrià de Besòs and parts of Esplugues de Llobregat and Cornellà de Llobregat. It operates on working days, Monday to Friday.

What the price covers and how longer bookings work
- Daily rate: the figure per day for the model you pick, from €34 for the Citroen e-C3 and Fiat 500e up to €85 for the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
- Weekly rate: seven days at the daily price multiplied by six — the cheapest hatchback at €34 a day comes to €204 for the week.
- Monthly rate: thirty days at the daily price multiplied by twenty-one — the same €34 car works out at €714 for the month.
- Automatic transmission: every one of the nine cars is automatic, so no manual gearbox to learn on Barcelona's hills.
- Electric fuel: there is no petrol or diesel option on this page, and no fuel stop before you hand the car back.
- Seats: the Fiat 500e takes four, and the other eight models take five, so a family of five fits in a hatchback or a crossover.
If you are weighing two models, ask which of them is free on your dates before you fix the dates.
Choosing your electric car rental in Barcelona for the trip
With 9 electric cars from €34 to €85 a day, the choice comes down to how many people travel, how far you plan to drive and whether you want a compact hatchback for Ciutat Vella or a crossover for the road to Montserrat.
Match the car to the trip, not to the brochure
- Citroen e-C3 and Fiat 500e, €34 a day: the cheapest way into electric car hire here, both automatic, front-wheel drive, 113 hp and 118 hp — the e-C3 seats five, the 500e four.
- Peugeot e-208 and Renault 5 E-Tech, €38 a day: 136 hp and 120 hp hatchbacks with five seats.
- Citroen e-C3 Aircross, BYD Atto 2 and Peugeot e-2008, €40–€45 a day: crossovers with five seats, 113 hp, 177 hp and 136 hp.
- Tesla Model 3, €72 a day: a 283 hp rear-wheel-drive sedan, for travellers covering Costa Brava or Penedès in a single day.
- Ford Mustang Mach-E, €85 a day: 269 hp, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.
Book the class, confirm the model with a manager
Every car in the fleet is automatic and electric, so there is no gearbox to learn and no fuel stop on the way back. Seats run from four in the Fiat 500e to five everywhere else, which matters if you are travelling with three adults in the back or fitting a child seat. If the model you booked is not ready, Spanish consumer rules let you ask for another car of the same class or higher at no extra cost, and a lower class must come with a lower price. Tell the manager your route and passenger count when booking. Charging, parking and the ZBE rules are the same whichever of the nine you take.
Weekly bookings run from €204 and monthly from €714. The rest of the arrangement is agreed when booking.
What is included in electric car rental in Barcelona
Every Rent-Trip booking bundles the car, mandatory third-party insurance and delivery to where you are staying.
Insurance that comes with the car
Spanish law puts Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil behind every car legally on the road, and it is part of the price by default — even if someone not named in the agreement is driving. It covers injury and property damage to third parties, with statutory limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR for property, under Real Decreto Legislativo 8/2004, article 4.2 as amended by Ley 5/2025. It does not cover the car itself or the driver.
What we hand over with the keys
- Mandatory insurance: Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil is included in every booking, as the law requires.
- Automatic transmission: all 9 electric cars are automatic — no clutch, no gearstick, nothing to learn.
Parking, tolls and day trips with electric car rental in Barcelona
An electric car changes three practical things about driving here: where you can leave it, what a motorway exit costs, and how far a single charge takes you. All of it is manageable once you know the numbers.
Parking an electric car in the city
- AREA Blava A (blue zone, tariff A): €2.5 per hour.
- AREA Blava B (blue zone, tariff B): €2.25 per hour.
- Paid hours: AREA charging applies during the posted hours only; outside them the same bay is free.
- Ticket check: the comprovant d'estacionament must carry the same plate number as the car.
Out of the city
Rondes B-10 and B-20 are capped at 80 km/h, and the general limits are 120 km/h on autopista and autovía, 90 km/h on a conventional country road, 50 km/h on a city street with two or more lanes each way and 30 km/h where there is one lane each way. Exceeding the limit by more than 60 km/h in town is treated as a criminal offence rather than a fine.
Practical conclusions for electric car rental in Barcelona
Electric car rental in Barcelona comes down to three numbers: 9 cars, €34 to €85 per day, weekly from €204 and monthly from €714. Everything else — the blue badge, the charging card, the parking meter — is detail that decides whether the trip runs smoothly or costs you an afternoon.
If you take one thing from this guide, take the order of decisions. Choose the car by the trip, not by the badge on the bonnet.
- Match the car to the season: August alone accounts for 4,056,955 overnight stays, and July for 3,877,898.
