Car rental in Barcelona for a trip to Montserrat starts with a car delivered to you — we bring it to your address in the city, and the booking is agreed with a manager.

Why drive to Montserrat and what car rental in Barcelona gives you
Rent-Trip arranges self-drive hire for exactly this kind of trip — 44 cars on this page, delivered to you, with the booking agreed with a manager.
Can you drive to Montserrat from Barcelona and is it worth it
Yes. Montserrat is reachable by car, and self-drive hire is what makes the trip flexible. On our side the arrangements are simple: you pick a car from the 44 on this page — Crossover, SUV, Comfort or Minivans — and we deliver it to you. Times, meeting point and the length of the hire are settled with a manager before you set off, so nothing is improvised on the morning itself. Having your own car means you set the departure time and are not tied to a fixed return schedule: if the light on the serrated ridge is good at six in the evening, you simply stay.
What car rental in Barcelona for a trip to Montserrat includes
- Car delivery: we bring the vehicle to you, so the hire starts where you are rather than at a counter you have to reach first.
- A booking agreed with a manager: dates, times and the delivery point are confirmed in advance, not left to the day of travel.
- 44 cars across four classes: Crossover from €38, SUV from €42, Comfort from €40 and Minivans from €52 per day.
Booking through a manager means the delivery point and timing are settled before you leave, not improvised on the day.

|---|---|---|---|---|

Tolls, fuel and the C-16 on your Montserrat car rental
How much fuel will the trip use
Our fleet on this page runs on Diesel, Hybrid, Petrol, Petrol/Diesel, Petrol/Electric, Petrol/Hybrid and Petrol/LPG, so the choice is real rather than theoretical.
Choosing your car for Montserrat car rental in Barcelona
A car for the Montserrat run has to do three things well: hold your group, climb the last stretch without strain, and sip fuel on the motorway. Our 44 cars on this page cover that brief across four classes, and the pick matters less than most people think.
Class by class: what each one gives you on this route
- SUV: 13 cars from €42 — Dacia Duster, Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson and similar.
- Comfort: 10 cars from €40 — Ford Focus, Hyundai i30, Kia Ceed, Toyota Corolla and the like, the cheapest way to carry five people in a hatchback.
Match the car to your group and your gear
Take a 7-seater only when you actually need row three: the Peugeot Rifter and Dacia Jogger give you 7 seats from €55 and €56 a day, while the Seat Tarraco and Nissan X-Trail do the same from €58 and €60 with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Two of you with hand luggage? A Comfort hatchback at €40–€45 is the honest answer, and the Toyota Corolla hybrid at €47 adds an automatic gearbox for the stop-start traffic on the way out of the city.
Transmission, fuel and power on the mountain road
Book the class, not the badge — we confirm the exact model when the booking is agreed with a manager, and the terms are set out in the rental agreement.
Seats, luggage and the practical extras
- Fuel type: Diesel, Hybrid, Petrol, Petrol/Diesel, Petrol/Electric, Petrol/Hybrid and Petrol/LPG across the fleet.
- Transmission: Automatic on the Ebro S400, Opel Astra, Peugeot 308, Toyota Corolla, Toyota C-HR and others; Manual on the rest.
- Drive: Front-wheel on most cars, with 4x4 or AWD on the Duster, Tucson, Sportage, Compass, Tarraco and X-Trail.
Prices and classes for car rental in Barcelona to Montserrat
Car rental in Barcelona for a trip to Montserrat starts at €38 a day. We keep 44 cars on this page across four classes, so the figure depends on how much space and power you want for the climb up the mountain.
What each class costs per day
| Class | Cars | From, per day | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crossover | 13 | €38 | 5 |
| Comfort | 10 | €40 | 5 |
| SUV | 13 | €42 | 5 or 7 |
| Minivans | 8 | €52 | 5 or 7 |
What the daily rate covers and how longer bookings work
- Weekly bookings: from €228 — the daily rate multiplied by six.
- Monthly bookings: from €798 — the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one.
- Compulsory third-party cover: included by Spanish law in every hire, with limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR for property damage.
Which cars sit at each price
SUVs open at €42 with the Dacia Duster, which runs on petrol/LPG and comes in front-wheel drive or 4x4. From there the Nissan Qashqai, Opel Grandland and Skoda Karoq sit at €48. Minivans begin at €52 with the Citroen Berlingo, Fiat Doblo and Opel Combo, and the seven-seat Peugeot Rifter and Dacia Jogger at €55 and €56.
Automatic or manual, and what that does to the price
Automatics cluster in the middle and upper classes: the Ebro S400 at €40, the Opel Astra and Peugeot 308 at €44 and €45, the Toyota Corolla at €47, and the Toyota C-HR, Peugeot 408, Citroen C5 Aircross, Jeep Compass, Peugeot 3008, Seat Tarraco and Nissan X-Trail from €48 to €60. If you are not used to a manual gearbox on a gradient, budget for an automatic: the difference is a few euros a day, and the mountain road is not the place to learn.
Documents, insurance and the rental agreement for your Montserrat trip
Spanish paperwork is not complicated, but it has two layers: what the law of Spain requires of any car on its roads, and what the agreement sets out for your particular booking.
What the law of Spain already covers
Every car legally on the road in Spain carries Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil, and by Spanish law it is included in any booking — it applies even if the driver at the wheel was not named in the agreement. The cover is for harm to third parties, not for you and not for the car: the legal limits are €70,000,000 per incident for personal injury, however many people are hurt, and €15,000,000 per incident for property damage. The wording comes from Real Decreto Legislativo 8/2004, article 4.2 as amended by Ley 5/2025, with the figures in force since 26.07.2025. What that means in practice: the compulsory layer protects the other party, so the damage to the car you are driving is a separate conversation, and that one is settled in the agreement.
Paperwork, deposit and hand-over
The compulsory insurance, the excess and the deposit are all set out in the agreement. Spanish consumer rules require the advertised price to include every mandatory fee you cannot legally drive without — the compulsory insurance among them — so a figure that grows at the counter is a warning sign. The same 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 for you; without that record, damage found later is billed to you. We agree the booking with a manager, so the delivery point, the timing and the terms are settled before the day of your trip.
