If you need an SUV car rental in Barcelona, we deliver the car to you — the airport, your hotel or any address you agree with our manager when booking. Our fleet on this page holds 13 SUVs, from the compact Dacia Duster at €42 per day to the seven-seat Hyundai Santa Fe at €64 per day.

What SUV car rental in Barcelona with Rent-Trip includes

How self-drive SUV rental works

Rent-Trip hands over a self-drive SUV — you drive it yourself, without a chauffeur, and we bring the car to you. Our fleet on this page holds 13 SUVs, from the Dacia Duster at €42 a day to the Hyundai Santa Fe at €64, and every one of them is booked for the driver named in the agreement, not for a driver we supply. Because the car comes to you rather than sitting in a yard, the hand-over point and the time are agreed when you book, not picked from a list on the site. That suits travellers arriving at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport, Barcelona Sants railway station or the Port of Barcelona cruise terminals (Moll Adossat), and it works the same way for a stay in L'Eixample or Gràcia.

Booking your SUV with a manager

Every booking is agreed with a manager, who confirms the model, the dates and where the vehicle is handed over.

• Deposit: the amount blocked on the card is set out in the rental agreement.
• Excess: the franquicia you carry if the car is damaged is printed in the same agreement, not quoted in advance.
• Delivery fees: the cost of bringing the SUV to your address is confirmed with the booking, so the total is clear before you sign.

SUV car rental in Barcelona for 5 or 7 seats, hybrid or petrol

Thirteen SUVs make up this class at Rent-Trip, and the choice between them comes down to three things: how many people you carry, which fuel you prefer, and whether you want the car to shift for itself. Every model is self-drive, delivered to you, and agreed with a manager when you book.

Five-seat SUVs in the Rent-Trip fleet

Ten of our 13 SUVs seat five, from the Dacia Duster at €42 a day to the Peugeot 3008 at €52. The Duster runs a 1.2 L, 130 hp Petrol/LPG engine with manual transmission and a choice of front-wheel or 4x4 drive; the Nissan Qashqai and Opel Grandland pair a 1.3 L and 1.2 L hybrid with manual and front-wheel drive at €48. Skoda Karoq brings a 1.5 L, 150 hp petrol manual at the same rate, while the Citroen C5 Aircross, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass and Kia Sportage sit at €50 with hybrid power — the Tucson and Sportage on 1.6 L, 150 hp, the Compass on 1.3 L, 130 hp with automatic and 4x4. Ford Kuga and Peugeot 3008 close the group at €52.

Seven-seat SUVs for larger groups

Three models seat seven — Seat Tarraco at €58, Nissan X-Trail at €60 and Hyundai Santa Fe at €64 a day. All three come with automatic transmission, and the Santa Fe adds permanent AWD and the strongest engine in the class at 1.6 L and 215 hp. The Tarraco runs a 1.5 L, 150 hp Petrol/Diesel unit with front-wheel or AWD drive, and the X-Trail a 1.5 L, 163 hp hybrid with the same drivetrain options.

Fuel types and drive across the SUV range

• Hybrid: Qashqai, Grandland, C5 Aircross, Tucson, Compass, Sportage, 3008, X-Trail and Santa Fe — the largest group in the class.
• Petrol: Skoda Karoq, 1.5 L and 150 hp, manual, front-wheel drive.
• Petrol/LPG: Dacia Duster — the cheapest way into the class at €42 a day.
• Petrol/Hybrid: Ford Kuga, 1.5 L and 150 hp, manual, front-wheel drive.
• Petrol/Diesel: Seat Tarraco, the seven-seater with automatic transmission.
• Drive: front-wheel on most models; 4x4 or AWD on the Duster, Compass, Tucson, Sportage, Tarraco, X-Trail and Santa Fe.

Comparing the class at a glance

Two models can cost the same and still differ on gearbox and drive, so read the row rather than the price.

SUV rental prices in Barcelona by model and by week

Rates across our 13 SUVs run from €42 to €64 a day, with a week from €252 and a month from €882. Below is how the daily figure behaves over a longer booking and what each model costs side by side.

Daily, weekly and monthly SUV rates

SUV car rental in Barcelona with Rent-Trip starts at €42 a day and tops out at €64; a week starts at €252 and a month at €882. The weekly figure is the daily rate multiplied by six, the monthly figure the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one. A Dacia Duster at €42 works out at €252 for a week and €882 for a month, while the Hyundai Santa Fe at €64 reaches €384 for a week and €1,344 for a month.

SUV models and prices side by side

Prices rise with seats, power and drive — from the Duster at €42 to the Santa Fe at €64 a day. Two models can sit at the same rate and still differ in gearbox and drive: the Citroen C5 Aircross and the Hyundai Tucson both cost €50, but one is automatic and front-wheel only, the other manual with AWD on offer. Read the row, not just the price. The deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, so ask the manager for those figures when you confirm the model.

Automatic or manual SUVs for SUV car rental in Barcelona

Both gearboxes sit in the same price band: the manual Dacia Duster opens at €42 a day, while the automatic Citroen C5 Aircross starts at €50. What separates them is not the badge on the tailgate but the road you plan to take out of the city.

Which SUVs in the Rent-Trip fleet come with an automatic gearbox

• Citroen C5 Aircross: 1.2 L, 136 hp, Hybrid, front-wheel drive, €50 a day — the cheapest automatic on this page, level with the Jeep Compass.
• Jeep Compass: 1.3 L, 130 hp, Hybrid, front-wheel or 4x4, €50 a day.
• Peugeot 3008: 1.2 L, 136 hp, Hybrid, front-wheel drive, €52 a day.
• Nissan X-Trail: 1.5 L, 163 hp, Hybrid, seven seats, front-wheel or AWD, €60 a day.
• Hyundai Santa Fe: 1.6 L, 215 hp, Hybrid, seven seats, AWD, €64 a day.

When to take the manual instead

Longer bookings are where the daily rate matters: a week starts at €252 and a month at €882, and weekly pricing is calculated as the daily rate multiplied by six, monthly as the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one. Whichever you pick, tell the manager at booking which gearbox you need; the model, the dates and the hand-over point are confirmed together, and the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement.

Driving an SUV in Barcelona with SUV car rental in Barcelona

The ZBE Rondes BCN in one look

What the distintivo ambiental means for your SUV

The distintivo ambiental is the DGT sticker on the windscreen, and it decides whether you may enter the ZBE Rondes BCN on a working day.

Speed limits and where the rules change

• Autopista and autovía: 120 km/h for cars and motorcycles under 3,500 kg.
• Ordinary out-of-town road: 90 km/h, though the road owner may raise it to 100 km/h.
• City street, one lane each way: 30 km/h; a municipality may sign 50 km/h instead.
• City street with two or more lanes each way: 50 km/h, bus and transit lanes not counted.
• Single-platform street, road and pavement on one level: 20 km/h.
• Rondes B-10 and B-20 inside the city: 80 km/h as the general motorway limit within a built-up area unless a sign says otherwise.

Parking and what an SUV costs you in the city

Parking runs on AREA Blava: tariff A at €2.5 an hour, tariff B at €2.25. Fuel sits around €1.953 a litre for Gasolina 95 E5 across the 74 stations measured in the municipality.

Where an SUV rental in Barcelona takes you beyond the city

Distances are short enough for a day trip and long enough to show what the car can do.

Day trips within reach of the city

• Montserrat: the mountain monastery sits roughly 60 km northwest.

Documents, insurance and the rental agreement for your SUV

The paperwork side of SUV hire in Barcelona is settled at booking, not guessed at the counter: a manager confirms the dates and the hand-over, and the agreement then carries the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee in writing.

What the agreement has to state

Spanish consumer rules say the advertised price must include every compulsory charge you cannot legally drive without, starting with the mandatory third-party cover. The same rules require that every scratch and dent be written into the agreement or the inspection sheet before you drive off, that both sides sign it, and that you keep a copy — otherwise damage found later lands on you. Our paperwork follows that shape: the excess, the deposit and the delivery fee are printed there rather than fixed in advance.

Cover that comes with every SUV

Third-party liability insurance is compulsory on any car legally on Spanish roads and is included by default, whether or not you buy anything extra. Under Real Decreto Legislativo 8/2004, article 4.2 as amended by Ley 5/2025, the minimum sums are 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR for property damage.

Licence, passport and card — agreed when you book

• EU/EEA licence: valid in Spain as it stands, for as long as it has not expired; no international permit needed.
• Non-EU/EEA licence: valid for a tourist if it is in force and the holder meets the Spanish age rule for the category, but not more than six months after taking up ordinary residence in Spain.
• Licence not in Spanish: valid either with an official sworn translation or if it matches Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
• International permit: a supplement only — shown together with your passport and national licence, valid one year.

Age limits, the young-driver surcharge, which cards are accepted and how far the SUV may be taken are not fixed by Spanish law — we agree them when you book.

What to settle before SUV car rental in Barcelona

What to confirm with the manager before you commit

• Model and dates: the 13 SUVs in the fleet are not interchangeable — a Jeep Compass and a Seat Tarraco differ by two seats and €8 a day, so name the model you want.
• Hand-over point and time: the car is delivered to you, and the exact spot is agreed when booking rather than chosen on the site.
• Deposit and excess: both are printed in the rental agreement; neither is a figure quoted in advance.
• Delivery fee: also set out in the agreement, together with anything else that applies to your booking.
• Territory: if your route leaves mainland Spain, say so before you book — that is agreed, not assumed.

Match the car to the trip, not to the price list

A 5-seat front-wheel-drive model such as the Skoda Karoq at €48 a day covers the city, the airport run and a day trip to Sitges without a second thought. The Citroën C5 Aircross and Peugeot 3008, both automatic at €50 and €52, take the sting out of the Rondes B-10 and B-20 at rush hour.

Before you drive away

Walk the car with the person handing it over and get every scratch and dent written into the agreement or the inspection sheet before you leave — both sides sign it and you keep a copy. Fuel is full-to-full, so note the level at hand-over and return it the same way. The ZBE Rondes BCN covers the whole municipality of Barcelona plus L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Sant Adrià de Besòs and parts of Esplugues de Llobregat and Cornellà de Llobregat on working weekdays: check the environmental badge on the windscreen before you plan a route through the centre.
