Volvo car rental in Barcelona
Volvo car rental in Barcelona puts one car at your disposal: the Volvo XC60, a five-seat Premium SUV with automatic transmission, all-wheel drive and a 2.0 L, 197 hp mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain, from €74 per day. We deliver it to you anywhere in the city — the airport, Sants station, your hotel or a cruise terminal — and the hand-over is agreed with a manager when you book.
What a Volvo car rental in Barcelona gives you on roads
One Volvo sits on this page: the XC60, a Premium-class SUV. It is the model we hand over for Volvo car rental, and it suits both the tight centre and the long run out of town.
Volvo XC60 specs at a glance
| Model | Class | Seats | Fuel | Transmission | Drivetrain | Engine | Power | Price per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volvo XC60 | Premium | 5 | Mild Hybrid / Plug-in Hybrid | Automatic | AWD | 2.0 L | 197 hp | €74 |
Mild Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid — what it means for the ZBE
The Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondes de Barcelona covers more than 95 km²: 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 runs on working days, Monday to Friday. The fuel policy on our cars is lleno a lleno, so plan the return leg with a full tank rather than a full battery.
Volvo car rental in Barcelona prices and how longer bookings work
One Volvo is on this page: the XC60, Premium class, at €74 per day. The rate is the same whichever way you book it, and longer periods are counted from that daily figure rather than quoted as a separate tariff.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates for the Volvo XC60
| Period | Rate | How it is calculated |
|---|---|---|
| One day | €74 | Published daily rate |
| One week | €444 | Daily rate × 6 |
| One month | €1,554 | Daily rate × 21 |
This page covers one car in one class, so the table above is the whole price list rather than a starting point that rises with the model you pick. If your dates run past a week, ask the manager to price the full stretch in one booking instead of stacking shorter ones.
What the advertised price already includes
The advertised price includes Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil, which Spanish consumer rules require to be inside the quoted figure — so the €74 is not a stripped rate with compulsory cover bolted on afterwards. The deposit, the franquicia and any delivery fee are not part of the daily rate; they are set out in the rental agreement, so read that document before you sign it.
Booking your Volvo rental in Barcelona with a manager
The booking exists only once a person has gone through it with you, and the XC60 is scheduled around the arrival you give.
How the booking is agreed with a manager
- Dates and times: tell the manager when you land, when you leave and how many days you need the XC60 for.
- Delivery point: the address where we bring the car is agreed in the booking, not chosen by you on the spot.
- Confirmation: the manager confirms the arrangement, and only then is the car scheduled for delivery.
We agree the booking rather than process it automatically, so the hand-over point fits your actual arrival. Tell the manager your flight or train arrival first and build the rest of the plan around it — moving the delivery later is easier than moving a fixed slot earlier.
Self-drive rental — you are the driver
Our Volvo car rental in Barcelona is self-drive: the car is delivered to you and you drive it yourself; the driving is yours from the first kilometre.
Documents and licence for Volvo car rental in Barcelona
Licence and ID requirements for Volvo car rental in Barcelona follow Spanish rules. What you may drive on depends on where your licence was issued, not on the car you choose.
Which driving licences are valid in Spain
- EU/EEA licences: valid in Spain exactly as issued, including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, for as long as they have not expired — nothing further is needed, and an IDP is not required.
- Licences from third countries: valid in Spain if the licence is in force, if you are old enough in Spain for the equivalent category, and if no more than six months have passed since you took up ordinary residence in Spain; the DGT advises getting an international driving permit before the trip.
- Licences not written in Spanish: valid either with an official sworn translation into Spanish, or if they were issued to the model of Appendix 9 of the Geneva Convention or Appendix 6 of the Vienna Convention — an IDP is an alternative to the translation.
- Permiso Internacional de Conducción: a supplementary document shown only together with your passport and your national licence; it is valid for 1 year and runs to 16 pages in Spanish, German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian.
ID and the booking
Whether a credit card is required for the deposit, how old you must be to rent and whether a young-driver surcharge applies are not fixed by Spanish law; they are settled with the manager when the booking is agreed, and the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement.

Parking: AREA Blava rates
- Payment: buy the ticket at the parquímetre and keep the comprovant d'estacionament, because the number on it must match the car's plate.
Where we deliver your Volvo rental in Barcelona
We bring the Volvo XC60 to the point you agree when booking — the hand-over address is set with a manager, not picked from a fixed list of desks. Tell us where you land or where you stay, and we build the drop-off around it.
Delivery points we arrange across the city
- Port of Barcelona cruise terminals (Moll Adossat): for cruise arrivals who need the car the same day they disembark.
- Barcelona city centre (Ciutat Vella), L'Eixample, Gràcia and Sarrià-Sant Gervasi: hotel or apartment door, arranged in advance.
- Poblenou and the 22@ district: business addresses and long-stay apartments in the tech quarter.
Insurance and hand-over for Volvo car rental in Barcelona
Every Volvo hire with us carries the cover Spanish law requires, and the hand-over is built around one document: the agreement. We set out what you are responsible for before you drive away, not after.
What is always included
- Cover for unlisted drivers: the compulsory policy still applies even if the person at the wheel was not named in the agreement.
Checking the car before you drive
Spanish consumer rules require every scratch and dent to be written into the agreement or the inspection sheet before you leave. Both sides sign it and you keep a copy — without that record, damage found later can be charged to you. Photograph the bodywork, wheels and windscreen yourself as a second record.
Fuel and the return
The usual fuel policy in Spain is lleno a lleno: the car is handed over with a full tank and comes back full. The exact terms are set out in the rental agreement.
The deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are not part of the daily rate. They are set out in the agreement, so read those lines before you sign.
Before you drive a Volvo car rental in Barcelona
The agreement is the only document that counts
The franquicia, the deposit and any delivery fee are printed in the contract — read it before you sign, because none of those figures sit in the daily rate.
