Minivans car rental in Barcelona models seats and specs

Rent-Trip keeps 8 minivans on this page — five-seaters and seven-seaters, diesel, hybrid and petrol, manual and automatic — from €52 to €72 per day. The right pick comes down to two things: how many people travel and how much luggage goes with them.

Five-seat minivans for couples and small families

Citroen Berlingo, Fiat Doblo and Opel Combo seat 5, run on diesel with a manual gearbox and start at €52 per day. All three share the same 1.5 L, 130 hp engine, front-wheel drive. In our Barcelona fleet they are the cheapest way into a minivan.

Seven-seat minivans for larger groups

Peugeot Rifter, Dacia Jogger, Volkswagen Touran, Peugeot 5008 and Renault Espace seat 7, from €55 to €72 per day. Peugeot Rifter and Dacia Jogger keep the manual gearbox — 1.5 L and 1.6 L respectively, 130 hp and 110 hp — while Volkswagen Touran, Peugeot 5008 and Renault Espace bring an automatic, with the Espace topping the range at 200 hp.

What minivans car rental in Barcelona costs

Prices for minivans car rental in Barcelona run from €52 to €72 per day.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Hiring a minivan starts at €52 per day, with a week from €312 and a month from €1,092. Those longer figures are calculated at six times the daily rate for a week and twenty-one times the daily rate for a month. A five-seat diesel such as the Citroen Berlingo, Fiat Doblo or Opel Combo sits at the bottom of the range at €52; the seven-seat Peugeot Rifter is €55, the Dacia Jogger €56, and the automatic Volkswagen Touran €66. Booking a month rather than four separate weeks changes the total considerably. The booking itself is agreed with a manager, so confirm the dates and the length of the hire before the agreement is drawn up.

Price by model and class

City driving, ZBE and parking fines for Minivans car rental in Barcelona

The low-emission rules, kerbside charges and enforcement cameras of the Catalan capital all apply to a seven-seat MPV exactly as they do to a hatchback. Here is what matters before you drive into the centre.

The low-emission zone and your minivan

The Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondas de Barcelona (ZBE Rondes BCN) covers more than 95 km² and takes in the whole municipality apart from 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. Check the badge class against your route before you set off from the airport or the cruise terminals at Moll Adossat.

Speeding, alcohol and the fines that follow

Speeding fines follow the DGT scale at 100 EUR with no points, then 300 EUR with 2, 400 EUR with 4, 500 EUR with 6 and 600 EUR with 6 for the most serious band, and paying within 20 calendar days cuts the amount by 50%. Holding a phone carries 200 EUR and up to 6 points; a child under 135 cm without an SRI seat costs the driver 200 EUR and 4 points.

Documents, licence and insurance for your rental

Driving in Spain means carrying the right paperwork, and for a minivan booking the list is short but exact.

Licence and ID rules for drivers in Spain

A licence issued in the EU or EEA — Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway included — is fully valid in Spain until its expiry date, with no extra paperwork. Licences from outside that area are accepted if the document is still valid, if the driver is old enough under Spanish rules for the equivalent category, and if less than six months have passed since the holder took up ordinary residence in Spain. Spain's DGT advises getting an international driving permit before the trip, and Permiso Internacional de Conducción is precisely that: a grey tri-fold booklet of 16 pages in Spanish, German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian, valid for one year and shown only alongside your passport and your national licence. A licence not written in Spanish is valid either with an officially sworn Spanish translation or if it was issued on the model of Appendix 9 of the Geneva Convention or Appendix 6 of the Vienna Convention — for Cyrillic, Arabic and Chinese scripts the permit or a certified translation is the practical route.

Insurance cover that comes with the minivan

Third-party liability insurance is included by Spanish law in every booking and applies always — even if the person at the wheel was not named in the agreement.

What to settle before you drive off

• Excess and deposit: the franquicia you carry and the preautorización blocked on a credit card are set out in the rental agreement, and the amount is confirmed to you before signing.
• Inspection record: Spanish consumer rules require every scratch and dent to be written into the agreement or the inspection sheet before you leave, signed by both sides, with a copy for you — otherwise the damage is charged to you.
• Advertised price: the published rate must include all compulsory charges without which the car cannot legally be driven, including statutory liability cover.
• If the booked model is unavailable: you may ask for another vehicle at no extra cost, even a class above; a lower class means a lower price, and a car that does not match the agreed conditions lets you cancel the booking and recover the prepayment.
• Fuel: the common Spanish policy is lleno a lleno — collected full, returned full.
• Traffic offences: parking and unpaid tolls fall on the owner or the renter of the car, while moving violations, alcohol and drugs fall on whoever was driving.

Pickup and return process for Minivans car rental in Barcelona

Delivery is the part of a minivan booking that most travellers worry about, and it is the part we handle ourselves: you tell us where you are staying, and the car comes to you. The exact place, time and hand-over details are agreed with a manager when you book, so nothing is left to a guess on the day.

How the hand-over works

• Booking agreed with a manager: dates, model and the delivery address are confirmed in conversation before the hire starts, not through an automated checkout.
• Car brought to you: our minivans are delivered to the address you give us, so there is no depot run on arrival with luggage and children in tow.

What to have ready

• Driving licence: the original, in the name of the main driver, valid for the whole hire period.

Age limits, the young-driver surcharge, the cards we accept and the territory you may drive in are all agreed when booking — they are not fixed by Spanish law, so confirm them with the manager rather than relying on what another company told you.

Day trips from the city with Minivans car rental in Barcelona

A minivan earns its keep on the days you leave the city.

If your route crosses into the ZBE Rondes BCN on the way back, remember the zone covers more than 95 km² of the municipality and operates on weekdays. A minivan with the right distintivo ambiental enters without a second thought; one without it does not. Check the badge before you plan a return through the centre at rush hour.

What to pack for a long day

• Child seats: Spanish rules require an SRI for anyone under 135 cm, and the driver carries the fine.

Why travellers pick our Minivans car rental in Barcelona

We keep 8 minivans on this page, every one of them delivered to you rather than waiting in a rank. That is the whole idea behind how Rent-Trip works: you tell us the dates and the group, and the car comes to the address you agree when booking.

What you actually get

• Eight MPVs, one page: Citroen Berlingo, Fiat Doblo, Opel Combo, Peugeot Rifter, Dacia Jogger, Volkswagen Touran, Peugeot 5008 and Renault Espace, from €52 to €72 a day.
• Five or seven seats: the three cheapest are 5-seat diesel manuals; the five larger ones seat 7.
• One agreed booking: dates, model and the meeting point are settled with a manager before you travel, not improvised on arrival.

Why a minivan beats two smaller cars

Two compact cars for a group of six means two drivers, two deposits and twice the parking. One 7-seat minivan keeps everyone in a single vehicle, and on Barcelona's tighter streets that matters more than it sounds — you pay one AREA Blava ticket instead of two, and only one of you has to find the bay.

Booking that stays human

The booking is agreed with a manager, which means you can ask the questions a form will not answer: whether the third row leaves enough boot for your suitcases, whether an automatic 7-seater is free on your dates, what the rental agreement sets out on deposit and excess. August is the busiest month in the city, so for peak summer weeks it is worth confirming early rather than on the day you land. That is the difference between a booking and a guess.
