Toyota car rental in Barcelona

From €20 per day, Toyota car rental in Barcelona starts with four self-drive models — the Aygo, Yaris, Corolla and C-HR — delivered to you in Barcelona and booked through a manager. We hand the car over where you need it: the city centre, L'Eixample, Gràcia, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Poblenou and the 22@ district, Barcelona Sants railway station, the Port of Barcelona cruise terminals at Moll Adossat

Which Toyota models you can hire in Barcelona

Rent-Trip keeps four Toyotas available for self-drive hire here: Aygo, Yaris, Corolla and C-HR, spread across three classes and priced from €20 to €48 per day. The whole fleet runs to 754 cars; this page covers the Toyota part of it. The car is delivered to you, and the hand-over is agreed with a manager when you book.

Four Toyotas on this page, from €20 to €48 a day

Rent-Trip keeps four Toyotas available for hire here — Aygo, Yaris, Corolla and C-HR — priced from €20 to €48 per day. Aygo sits in Economy with a 1.0 L petrol engine and a manual gearbox; Yaris also sits in Economy but pairs a 1.5 L hybrid with an automatic. Corolla moves up to Comfort on a 1.8 L hybrid, and C-HR tops the page as a Crossover on the same 1.8 L hybrid and automatic. Three of the four are hybrids, so the choice here is usually settled by the gearbox and the seat count rather than by the daily rate — and the two cheapest cars sit in the same Economy class, one manual and one automatic.

Economy, Comfort and Crossover classes at a glance

Two Economy Toyotas start at €20, one Comfort at €47 and one Crossover at €48 per day.

What the four models have in common

• All four are front-wheel drive, so none of them needs special handling on the wet cobbles of Gràcia or the ramps of an underground car park.
• Three run on hybrid power with an automatic gearbox: Yaris, Corolla and C-HR.
• Seat counts split two ways: Aygo takes 4, the other three take 5.
• Aygo is the only petrol car and the only manual on this page.
• Corolla and C-HR share the same 1.8 L, 140 hp hybrid drivetrain despite sitting in different classes.
• Every model is a hatchback or crossover body — no saloons, no estates in the Toyota line-up here.

The €1 daily gap between Corolla and C-HR is small enough that price should not decide it. In our experience the split comes down to seating position and boot shape: the C-HR sits you higher and takes the speed bumps of the Rondes more comfortably, while the Corolla keeps you lower to the road on longer motorway runs out towards Sitges or Girona. If you are weighing the two, book the one whose body you actually want rather than the one that saves a euro — the rest is set out in the rental agreement.

Toyota car rental in Barcelona model by model

Four Toyotas sit on this page, and they differ in engine size, power, seats and the way you drive them. Below is what a driver actually gets in each, from the cheapest petrol hatchback to the hybrid crossover.

Toyota Aygo — the cheapest option of the four

The Aygo is the cheapest Toyota on this page at €20 per day: Economy, Hatchback, 4 seats, Petrol, Manual, front-wheel drive, 1.0 L, 72 hp. Its three-cylinder engine and short body make it the easiest of the four to thread through the narrow lanes of Ciutat Vella and to slot into a blue-zone bay on Carrer de Mallorca. Because it runs on petrol, it is also the only model here whose running cost does not depend on a hybrid premium — you fill it with Gasolina 95 E5, which averaged 1.953 per litre across the 74 filling stations measured in the municipality. On the downside, four seats and a manual gearbox mean a family of five cannot use it, and stop-start traffic on the Rondes asks for confident clutch work. In our experience the Aygo suits two travellers with hand luggage far better than a group with suitcases.

Toyota Yaris — hybrid and automatic at Economy money

The Yaris costs €29 per day and is the only Economy Toyota here with Hybrid power and Automatic transmission: Hatchback, 5 seats, 1.5 L, 116 hp. The self-charging hybrid needs no plug and no charging subscription, so it returns low consumption in exactly the stop-start conditions where the Aygo is at its weakest — the 30 km/h stretches inside the city and the 80 km/h limit on the Rondes B-10 and B-20. The fifth seat and the automatic gearbox make it the most practical of the four for a family of four who do not want the footprint of a crossover. One detail worth knowing: hybrids carry the ECO environmental badge, which is what lets them into the low-emission zone without a separate permit. If your trip mixes city errands with a run to Sitges, the Yaris is the model we hand over most often for it.

Toyota Corolla and C-HR — Comfort and Crossover compared

The Corolla is Comfort at €47 per day and the C-HR is Crossover at €48; both are Hybrid, Automatic, 5-seat, front-wheel drive, 1.8 L and 140 hp. With an identical engine, gearbox and power output, the €1 daily difference buys body shape rather than performance: the C-HR sits higher and carries its roofline further back, while the Corolla keeps a lower driving position and a more predictable rear view on long motorway stages. Both take the same fuel and the same ECO badge, and both are comfortable at the 120 km/h autopista limit on the C-16 toward the Pyrenees.

On longer bookings the multipliers stay the same across the range: weekly from €120 and monthly from €420 on the cheapest model, so the class you pick sets the bill, not the length of the rental.

Hybrids, automatics and the ZBE Rondes BCN with Toyota car rental in Barcelona

Three of the four Toyotas on this page run on hybrid power with an automatic gearbox, and that combination decides more than fuel economy — it decides whether the car is allowed inside the Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondas de Barcelona at all. The fourth, the Aygo, is a petrol manual. Below is what each drivetrain means for a driver in the city.

Which Toyotas are hybrid and which is not

• Toyota Yaris: Economy, Hatchback, 5 seats, Hybrid, Automatic, front-wheel drive, 1.5 L, 116 hp, €29 per day.
• Toyota Corolla: Comfort, Hatchback, 5 seats, Hybrid, Automatic, front-wheel drive, 1.8 L, 140 hp, €47 per day.
• Toyota C-HR: Crossover, 5 seats, Hybrid, Automatic, front-wheel drive, 1.8 L, 140 hp, €48 per day.
• Toyota Aygo: Economy, Hatchback, 4 seats, Petrol, Manual, front-wheel drive, 1.0 L, 72 hp, €20 per day — the only manual and the only non-hybrid here.

The Corolla and the C-HR share the same 1.8 L engine and the same 140 hp output, so the hybrid system behaves identically in both; the Yaris pairs a smaller 1.5 L unit with the same automatic principle. What separates them on the road is weight and body height, not the powertrain.

The ZBE Rondes BCN and what your Toyota needs to enter

The Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondas de Barcelona (ZBE Rondes BCN) covers more than 95 km²: the whole municipality of Barcelona 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.

Entry is decided by the environmental sticker on the windscreen — the distintivo ambiental issued by the DGT. Hybrids qualify for the ECO badge, a blue-and-green sticker; a zero-emission car carries the blue 0 emisiones badge. A petrol car of the Aygo's kind is assessed on its own emissions class, not on the fact that it is small.

Here is the part that catches visitors out. If the car carries foreign plates, the sticker alone is not enough: registration in the Registre metropolità de vehicles estrangers i altres vehicles autoritzats a les zones de baixes emissions is compulsory in advance. A hired car on Spanish plates does not need that step — which is one practical reason a rental makes the city easier to move through than a car brought in from abroad.

Driving a hybrid automatic in city traffic

An automatic gearbox removes the clutch work from the 30 km/h streets of the centre and the stop-start of L'Eixample, and the hybrid system recovers energy on exactly those braking cycles. On the Rondes B-10 and B-20, where the general limit inside the built-up area is 80 km/h, the 1.8 L Corolla and C-HR hold the pace without the engine working hard.

Two things worth knowing before you drive away. Fuel is your own cost, and Gasolina 95 E5 in the municipality of Barcelona averaged 1.953 per litre across 74 stations in the survey, with the municipal median at 1.987 — so a hybrid's real advantage shows up in town, not on the motorway. And the sticker question is settled at booking, not at the wheel: tell the manager where you plan to drive, and the paperwork for the ZBE is agreed then.

What Toyota car rental in Barcelona costs per day, week and month

Toyota car rental in Barcelona on this page runs from €20 to €48 per day. The four models split into three classes, and the price you pay follows the class rather than the badge on the bonnet.

Daily rates for each Toyota

The weekly column is the daily rate multiplied by six, and the monthly column is the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one — those are the only two long-booking formulas we apply, so the figures above are what a seven-day or a thirty-day booking actually comes to. The gap between the two Economy Toyotas is €9 a day, and over a month that becomes €189, which is usually the point where travellers decide whether they need hybrid power and an automatic gearbox or can live with a manual Aygo.

What the price covers and what is agreed at booking

• Mandatory third-party liability cover: every car legally on a Spanish road carries it, and it is inside the rate; the limits run to 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR for property damage.
• The advertised figure: under Spanish consumer rules the price you are shown has to include every compulsory charge without which the car cannot be driven, so nothing essential is bolted on at the desk.
• Deposit and excess: the amount blocked on a card and the excess you carry are set out in the rental agreement, and the manager confirms them when you book.
• Delivery: the car comes to you, and where and when that happens is agreed with a manager at booking rather than fixed by a rate card.
• Optional protection: CDW, theft protection and the top-ups that buy the excess down are priced in the agreement, not on this page.

One thing worth knowing before you compare the daily numbers: a hybrid driven mostly on the Rondes and the city's 30 km/h streets burns noticeably less than a petrol car in the same stop-start traffic, and fuel in the municipality averaged €1.953 a litre for Gasolina 95 E5 at the last count of 74 stations. On a week of short city hops that difference is real money — on a straight run up the C-16 to the Pyrenees it is not, because the hybrid advantage lives in the braking, not the cruising. Match the model to the trip you are actually taking, not to the lowest line in the table.

Where your Toyota car rental in Barcelona is handed over

We deliver your Toyota to you — the exact place and time are agreed with a manager when you book. The car comes to the address you name, and the hand-over is settled in the booking conversation.

How delivery works with Rent-Trip

• Booking: you choose the Toyota and the dates, then the manager confirms the delivery address and the hand-over window with you.
• Delivery: the car is brought to the agreed point — your hotel, an apartment, an address in the city — and the keys change hands there.
• Return: the same arrangement in reverse; the drop-off point and time are fixed when you book, not improvised on the last day.
• Hand-over: the condition of the car is recorded against the rental agreement, and the deposit and excess are set out in that agreement.

Hand-over points we can arrange

Our Toyota car rental in Barcelona is not tied to one office. Delivery is agreed case by case, and the addresses below are the ones we cover most often — Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport, Barcelona Sants railway station, the Port of Barcelona cruise terminals at Moll Adossat, Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, and the central districts of Ciutat Vella, L'Eixample, Gràcia and Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, plus Poblenou and the 22@ district. If you are staying somewhere else in the city, say so when you book and the manager will confirm whether we can reach you.

One practical note from our own hand-overs: arriving by cruise ship or by train, travellers usually want the car waiting at the terminal or the station exit rather than at a depot across town — this is exactly the sort of detail worth settling in the booking message rather than on the day, because the hand-over window is agreed in advance and a last-minute change of address has to be re-confirmed with the manager.

What is agreed when you book, not here

The deposit amount, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are not figures on this page — they are set out in the rental agreement, and the manager confirms them with you before the booking is finalised. The same goes for the minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, which cards are accepted, the fuel policy and how far the car may be taken: these are conditions of the rental, agreed when you book, and they are not rules of Spain.

Bring the original identity document and the driving licence in the name of the main driver. EU and EEA licences — including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway — are fully valid in Spain while they have not expired, and nothing further is needed. Licences from outside the EEA are valid for driving in Spain if they are in force, if the holder is old enough in Spain for the equivalent category, and if no more than six months have passed since the holder took up ordinary residence in Spain; the DGT advises getting an international driving permit before the trip. A licence not written in Spanish is accepted either with an official certified translation into Spanish or if it was issued on the model of Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.

Documents and driving rules for a Toyota hire in Barcelona

Spanish paperwork rules apply to every hire car alike, and the low-emission zone adds one local step. What follows is what shapes a Toyota booking in particular — from licence recognition to the environmental badge that decides whether you may take the car into the centre.

Which driving licences are accepted

• EU and EEA licences: fully valid in Spain for as long as they remain in force — Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway included, with nothing extra to arrange.
• Licences from outside the EU and EEA: valid if the licence is in force, you meet the Spanish age requirement for that category, and no more than six months have passed since you took up ordinary residence in Spain.
• Licences not printed in Spanish: accepted either with an official certified Spanish translation or where the document follows Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention, or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
• International Driving Permit: a supplementary document only — it is shown together with your passport and your national licence, never on its own, and it runs for one year.
• Passport or ID: the original in the main driver's name; hire companies require it, though the DGT sets no single rule on it.

The DGT advises drivers from outside the EU and EEA to obtain the Permiso Internacional de Conducción before travelling. For Cyrillic and Arabic scripts and for characters, that advice is practical rather than optional: without either the permit or a certified translation, the licence is not readable to the officer who stops you.

The environmental badge and the city's low-emission zone

The Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondas de Barcelona covers more than 95 km² and operates on working days, Monday to Friday. The three hybrids in our fleet — Yaris, Corolla and C-HR — carry the ECO (blue-green) label, which is admitted to the zone. The petrol Aygo falls under a different DGT category, so check its access before you plan a route through the Rondes. Cars on foreign plates need prior registration in the Registre metropolità de vehicles estrangers i altres vehicles autoritzats a les zones de baixes emissions, and the sticker itself goes on the windscreen.

Speed limits and penalties

Speeding is priced by the DGT table: 100 EUR with no points, then 300 EUR with 2 points, 400 EUR with 4, 500 EUR with 6, and 600 EUR with 6 for the most serious band — 100 to 600 EUR and 2 to 6 points in all. Above 60 km/h over the limit in town, or 80 km/h outside it, the matter becomes a criminal offence rather than a fine. Alcohol is measured at 0.25 mg/l of breath for most drivers, 0.15 mg/l for those in their first two years and for professional drivers, and anything above 0.60 mg/l is a crime; the penalty runs 500–1000 EUR and 4–6 points. A phone held in the hand is 200 EUR and 6 points, a seatbelt or child-seat offence 200 EUR and 4 points, and running a red light 200 EUR and 4 points.

Child seats, fuel and mountain roads

Child restraints are compulsory for children under 135 cm tall; from 135 cm, a standard belt is allowed. Winter tyres are not a seasonal requirement in Spain — restrictions appear point by point on signs and gantries during snowfall, which for a car collected here means the mountain roads into Catalonia such as the C-16 towards the Pyrenees and the Túnel del Cadí. The fuel policy and the deposit are set out in the rental agreement, so read both before you collect the keys.

Renting a Toyota in Barcelona for trips out of the city

Three of the four Toyotas on this page are hybrids with automatic transmission, which is exactly what you want on the C-16 toward the Pyrenees or the run down the coast — the self-drive format means the car is with you for the whole trip, not parked at a station between legs.

Day trips that suit each model

• Sitges and the coast road: the C-32 south is flat and short, so the Aygo at €20 a day covers it comfortably with two people and beach gear.
• Montserrat: the climb to the monastery rewards the Corolla's 1.8 L and 140 hp, and the hybrid recovers charge on the descent.
• Costa Brava and Girona: longer days on the AP-7 and the N-II, where the Yaris at €29 keeps fuel costs down at 1.5 L.
• Penedès wine country: the C-15 through Vilafranca del Penedès is an easy half-day, and the C-HR's higher seating makes the vineyard tracks less of a chore.
• Tarragona and PortAventura: the C-32 and AP-7 south; five seats in the Corolla or C-HR suit a family day out.
• Andorra and La Cerdanya: the longest run from the city, best done in the C-HR or Corolla with the hybrid's range.

Tolls, parking and the ZBE on the way out

The Túnels de Vallvidrera on the C-16, the main exit toward Sant Cugat and the Vallès, charges €4.7 for a car, and the C-16 continues north toward the Pyrenees. Paid parking inside the city runs at €2.5 an hour in AREA Blava A and €2.25 in AREA Blava B — worth knowing if you leave the car and come back late. The ZBE Rondes BCN covers more than 95 km²: the whole municipality of Barcelona except the Zona Franca industrial area 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. A hybrid Toyota carries the ECO badge, which gives it access; the Aygo, on petrol, does not qualify for the same sticker. On our side, the hand-over point and the time are agreed with a manager when you book, so the car can be waiting before an early start.

What to settle before a long drive

Documents and driving rules do not change because you are leaving the city. Speed limits stay at 120 km/h on autopista and autovía, 90 km/h on a conventional carretera, and 30 km/h or 50 km/h on urban streets depending on lanes. Alcohol limits are 0.25 mg/l of breath as a general rule and 0.15 mg/l for drivers in their first two years. Fines follow the DGT scale from €100 to €600, with 2 to 6 points, and a 50% discount applies if you pay within 20 calendar days. Fuel sits at an average of €1.953 for Gasolina 95 E5 across the 74 stations measured in the municipality, which is the number to keep in mind when you work out whether the hybrid premium pays for itself on a week of day trips.
