Long-term car rental

A week of commuting between L'Eixample and the 22@ district, weekend runs to Sitges and Montserrat, and a car you keep for the whole stay — long-term car rental in Barcelona works differently from a three-day booking. We deliver the car to you, and the booking is agreed with a manager. Our fleet here runs to 24 cars, from €19 a day, with weekly rates from €114 and monthly rates from €399.

What long-term car rental in Barcelona means at Rent-Trip

At Rent-Trip, long-term car rental in Barcelona is a self-drive booking measured in weeks and months rather than days: weekly rates start at €114 and monthly rates start at €399. Both tiers are agreed with a manager before the car is confirmed, because the fleet on this page is 24 cars — 23 Economy from €19 per day and one Electric at €34.

What counts as long-term with Rent-Trip

Rent-Trip treats weekly and monthly bookings as long-term, with weekly from €114 and monthly from €399. The weekly tier is calculated as the daily rate multiplied by six, the monthly tier as the daily rate multiplied by 21, so a Fiat Panda at €19 per day comes out at €114 for a week and €399 for a month. A long-term booking runs on the same self-drive model as a short one — you drive, we hand over the keys, and the class of car is agreed when booking rather than picked off a shelf. The longer the term, the more it pays to fix the class in advance — with 24 cars on this page, a free choice of class is not guaranteed in a busy month.

Self-drive only, with the car brought to you

Every Rent-Trip booking is self-drive — you drive, and we deliver the car to the client. A long-term hire replaces your own car, so everything you would normally handle yourself stays with you: where the car spends the night, whether that place is inside the ZBE Rondes BCN low-emission zone, and what you do about parking between trips.

Where a long-term booking actually differs

• Agreed class, not a category on the day: with 24 cars on this page, the model you want is confirmed with a manager when booking, not chosen at hand-over.
• One car, one driver profile: a booking that runs for weeks keeps the same vehicle, which is why transmission and seats matter more here than on a three-day hire.
• Your own parking and charging routine: on a self-drive long-term hire you arrange where the car lives, and an electric model only makes sense with a charging point you can use.
• Terms set out in the rental agreement: the deposit, the excess, delivery fees and any discounts are fixed in the agreement, not on this page.

Weekly and monthly rates for long-term car rental in Barcelona

Our long-term car rental in Barcelona is priced in three tiers — daily, weekly and monthly — and the longer tier is calculated from the daily rate of the class you pick, not from a flat discount.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates by class

Economy starts at €19 per day, weekly from €114 and monthly from €399, while the single Electric car — the Fiat 500e — runs at €34 per day. Each tier follows the same arithmetic: a week is the daily rate multiplied by six, and a month is the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one. The Fiat Panda, Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto sit at the bottom of the Economy range at €19; the middle of the class, from the Dacia Sandero at €22 to the Volkswagen Polo at €26, covers most of the 24 cars on this page; the Toyota Yaris at €29 and the DS DS 3 at €28 top it out. On a monthly booking that spread is worth checking closely — €19 per day becomes €399 per month, and €29 per day becomes €609, so the choice of model matters more than the length of the stay.

What the price includes and what is agreed when booking

Every booking includes the Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil, the compulsory third-party cover that Spanish law attaches to any car allowed on the road, with limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR for property damage. The deposit, the franquicia, delivery fees and any discounts are not part of the published rate — they are set out in the rental agreement. Spanish consumer rules require the advertised price of a hire to include every compulsory charge without which the car cannot legally be driven, which is why the daily, weekly and monthly figures above already fold in the obligatory cover.

Choosing your car for long-term rental in Barcelona

Our 24 cars on this page break down by seats, transmission and fuel rather than by badge. The split matters more on a monthly booking than on a weekend: you live with the choice for weeks.

4-seat or 5-seat, manual or automatic

• 4-seat models: Fiat Panda, Toyota Aygo, Fiat 500 and the electric Fiat 500e — enough for two adults and luggage, tight for a family of four with child seats.
• 5-seat models: Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Dacia Sandero, Kia Rio, Citroen C3, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai i20 and the rest of the Economy line — the practical default for a household.
• Petrol: the largest group, including the Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Kia Rio, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai i20 and Citroen C3, all front-wheel drive with a 1.0–1.2 L engine.
• Petrol/LPG: Dacia Sandero at €22 per day and Dacia Sandero Stepway at €24 per day, both 5 seats with a 90 hp unit.
• Hybrid: Fiat Pandina, Fiat 500, Fiat Grande Panda, Renault Clio, Lancia Ypsilon, Toyota Yaris and MG MG3.

Petrol, hybrid, LPG and the one electric car

The fleet runs on Petrol, Hybrid, Petrol/Hybrid and Petrol/LPG, plus a single Electric — the Fiat 500e at €34 per day, 118 hp, 4 seats, automatic. That is one car out of 24, so it is booked or it is not. Check where you park before choosing the electric — a car with no home socket turns a monthly booking into a charging routine.

How delivery and booking work for long-term car rental in Barcelona

Long-term car rental in Barcelona with Rent-Trip is built around two things: the car comes to you, and the booking is agreed with a manager. Nothing is automatic — a person confirms the class, the dates and the hand-over before anything is finalised.

Booking a long-term rental with a manager

• Request: you send the dates, the class you want and where you would like the car handed over, and a manager picks it up from there.
• Agreement: the weekly or monthly rate, the deposit, the excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement, not in a chat message.
• Confirmation: the booking is agreed with a manager before the car is assigned, so the class and the dates are fixed in writing.
• Documents: what the main driver has to show is agreed when booking, because the requirement depends on the licence and the rental agreement.
• Changes: moving the dates or extending a monthly booking is easier the earlier you ask — our page fleet is 24 cars, and a specific model cannot be held indefinitely.

The car is delivered to the client

We deliver the car to the client — that is the whole point of how we work, and it applies to weekly and monthly bookings alike. You do not travel to a counter to collect it; the hand-over happens where you are staying or wherever you have arranged with the manager. What we do not do is drive you: every booking is self-drive, so the person behind the wheel is you.

For a stay of several weeks or a month, that changes your first day. You need somewhere to keep the car from the moment it arrives — a garage space, a residential parking permit or a paid zone near your address.

What is agreed when booking, and what is not

Delivery timing, the hand-over point and the rest of the arrangement — all of it is agreed with a manager when booking, because none of it is a fixed published rule. Two more things belong to that same conversation: the documents the main driver presents, and the terms of the rental agreement itself. We do not print a standard list, because the answer depends on the licence you hold and on the rental agreement you sign.

Weekly starts at €114 and monthly at €399, and those come straight from the daily price of the car you choose. If a manager quotes you something that does not match the class you booked, ask which car it refers to — on a page with 23 Economy cars, the daily rate alone runs from €19 to €29, so the model matters more than the class name.

Picking up and returning after a month

Return works the same way as delivery, in reverse: the place and the time are agreed when booking, and the fuel level at return follows the policy in your rental agreement.

Long-term car rental in Barcelona for ZBE, parking and tolls

ZBE Rondes BCN and the environmental sticker

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 operates on working days, Monday to Friday.

Parking: the blue zones and what an hour costs

AREA Blava is the city's paid on-street parking. Tariff A costs €2.5 per hour and tariff B €2.25 per hour. Payment goes into the parquímetro and prints a comprovant d'estacionament, so keep it on the dashboard. If your flat comes without a parking space, price a monthly garage contract before you sign the agreement.

Fuel and charging a long-term electric car

Fuel at the municipal average is €1.953 per litre for Gasolina 95 E5, with a median of €1.987, a low of €1.758 and a high of €2.059 across the 74 stations in the survey. Check the charging point at your building before booking the electric car.

Insurance, deposit and documents for long-term car rental in Barcelona

Long hires run on paperwork that is agreed up front, not on the day you get the keys. Below is what Spanish law puts into every agreement, which covers are optional, and what stays open until the booking is confirmed with a manager.

What Spanish law includes in every long-term hire

Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil is included by law in any hire and works at all times, even if the driver at the wheel was not named in the agreement. It covers damage to third parties, not the driver and not the car, with limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury, however many people are hurt, and 15,000,000 EUR per incident for property damage under Real Decreto Legislativo 8/2004, article 4.2 as amended by Ley 5/2025, in force since 26.07.2025. Ask what the declared price already contains before you compare anything: Spanish consumer rules require the advertised rate to include every mandatory charge you cannot legally drive without, mandatory third-party cover among them.

Documents, deposit and the hand-over inspection

EU and EEA licences, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway included, are fully valid in Spain until they expire and need nothing added; third-country licences are valid if they are in force, if the holder is old enough in Spain for the equivalent category, and if less than six months have passed since they took up ordinary residence here, with the DGT advising an international driving permit before the trip. A licence not in Spanish is accepted either with an official sworn Spanish translation or if it was issued to the model of Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention. At hand-over, Spanish consumer 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 — otherwise the damage is pinned on the renter. The rest of the terms are set out in the rental agreement.

Long-term car rental in Barcelona for weeks of city life and weekend trips

Weeks of living here change what you need from a car. A monthly booking at €399 covers supermarket runs in L'Eixample, school pick-ups in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and the drive out to Sitges on a Saturday. We hand the car over once, and after that it is yours for the whole stay.

City weeks: what a long-term booking actually does for you

A Fiat Panda at €19 per day or a Hyundai i10 at €19 per day parks in the AREA Blava zones at €2.50 an hour in tariff A and €2.25 in tariff B, so short stops in Ciutat Vella stay cheap. Where a car earns its keep is the weekly shop, the airport run for visiting family, and the mornings when you would otherwise cross the city twice.

Weekend trips that justify a longer booking

Longer trips reach Andorra.

Practical conclusions about long-term car rental in Barcelona

Long-term car rental in Barcelona comes down to three decisions: how long you book for, which class you take, and where the car lives between trips.

• Duration first: weekly is priced at daily × 6 and monthly at daily × 21.
• Class second: 23 of the 24 cars here are Economy from €19 per day; the single Electric is €34 per day.
• Storage third: every booking is self-drive with the car delivered to you, so parking is your own arrangement from the first day — check whether your building or street has resident parking before you commit to a month.
• Fuel sixth: petrol 95 E5 averaged €1.953 across 74 stations measured in the municipality, so a month of city driving is a real line in your budget.
