Weekly car rental

Planning a week in Barcelona and wondering how to get around without depending on timetables? Rent-Trip offers weekly car rental in Barcelona with 24 cars on this page, from €19 per day — a week starts at €114. We bring the car to you: the delivery point, the time and the terms are agreed with a manager when you book.

How Weekly Car Rental in Barcelona Works with Rent-Trip

Weekly car rental in Barcelona with Rent-Trip is a self-drive arrangement: you take the car for a full week, drive it yourself, and the whole booking is agreed with a manager before you travel.

What Self-Drive Weekly Hire Means at Rent-Trip

Rent-Trip hands over the car to you and you drive it yourself for the whole week — without a chauffeur, no per-hour billing, no driver assigned to your trip. You book a class, not a driver: Economy hatchbacks make up 23 of the 24 cars on this page, and the remaining one is an Electric.

The Car Comes to You and the Booking Is Agreed with a Manager

• Delivery to the client: we bring the car to the client, and the hand-over point is agreed when you book.
• Booking agreed with a manager: every reservation is confirmed by a manager, not by an automated checkout, so the details of your week are settled in conversation.
• Hand-over details fixed at booking: the exact place and time of the hand-over are agreed when you book, not chosen in advance by you.
• Changes before travel: if your arrival time moves, the hand-over is re-agreed with the manager rather than left to a queue.

The practical consequence is simple: do not pick an address for the hand-over yourself and assume it will be honoured. Tell the manager where you are staying and when you land, and the hand-over is fixed around that. For a week-long stay this matters more than for a two-day hire — a badly placed hand-over costs you the first evening of the rental, and the week has already started.

Weekly Car Rental Rates in Barcelona and What a Week Costs

Two classes are bookable by the week here, and the price you see is the price the manager confirms: Economy from €19 a day and one Electric at €34. Nothing on this page is quoted below €19, because that is where our range starts.

How the Weekly Rate Is Calculated

A week with Rent-Trip is the daily rate × 6, so the cheapest weekly rate starts at €114, and a month is the daily rate × 21, from €399. Take the Fiat Panda at €19 a day: six times nineteen gives €114 for the week, and twenty-one times nineteen gives €399 for the month. The same arithmetic runs up the range — the Fiat 500e at €34 a day works out at €204 a week and €714 a month.

Weekly Prices by Class on This Page

What the Range Covers

The 24 cars on this page sit between €19 and €34 a day, which is €114 to €204 across a week and €399 to €714 across a month. The single Electric car is the Fiat 500e — 118 hp, automatic, four seats.

Choosing a Car for a Week of Rental in Barcelona

The weekly fleet on this page is 24 cars in two classes, Economy and Electric, priced from €19 to €34 a day, so a week runs from €114 upward. Picking a model for seven days comes down to four things: how many people travel, how much luggage goes with them, whether you want a manual or an automatic, and whether the car has to enter the ZBE Rondes BCN.

The Cheapest Weekly Options from €19 a Day

• Fiat Panda: Economy hatchback, 4 seats, petrol/hybrid, manual, 1.0 L, 70 hp, €19 a day.
• Hyundai i10: Economy hatchback, 5 seats, petrol, manual, 1.0 L, 67 hp, €19 a day.
• Kia Picanto: Economy hatchback, 5 seats, petrol, manual, 1.0 L, 67 hp, €19 a day.
• Fiat Pandina: Economy hatchback, 4 seats, hybrid, manual, 1.0 L, 70 hp, €20 a day.
• Toyota Aygo: Economy hatchback, 4 seats, petrol, manual, 1.0 L, 72 hp, €20 a day.
• Dacia Sandero: Economy hatchback, 5 seats, petrol/LPG, manual, 1.0 L, 90 hp, €22 a day.

Mid-Range and Upper Weekly Models

From €23 to €29 a day the weekly list adds power: Kia Rio, Citroen C3, Dacia Sandero Stepway, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai i20, Fiat Grande Panda, MG MG3, Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208, Renault Clio, Seat Ibiza, Skoda Fabia, Lancia Ypsilon, Volkswagen Polo, DS DS 3 and Toyota Yaris.

Two of them are automatic: the Lancia Ypsilon at €26 a day with a 1.2 L hybrid, and the Toyota Yaris at €29 a day with a 1.5 L hybrid and 116 hp.

The Electric Option

One car on this page is fully electric: the Fiat 500e, Electric class, 4 seats, automatic, 118 hp, €34 a day — the top of the range and the only model here with a 0 emisiones badge. It is also the only electric car in the weekly fleet, so if you want zero local emissions for the whole week, book it early.

Weekly Car Hire in Barcelona for City Driving and the ZBE Rondes BCN

A week behind the wheel inside the city means narrow lanes, paid kerbside parking and an emissions zone that covers most of the municipality. Here is how our cars and the local rules fit together.

The ZBE Rondes BCN Covers the Whole Municipality

The Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondas de Barcelona (ZBE Rondes BCN) applies across more than 95 km²: the entire municipality, 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. It runs on working days, Monday to Friday.

Speeds and Parking Inside the City

• Urban limits: 20 km/h on streets with a single platform shared by traffic and pavement, 30 km/h where there is one lane each way, 50 km/h on streets with two or more lanes in one direction.
• Rondes B-10 and B-20: 80 km/h as the general ceiling for motorways inside a built-up area unless a sign says otherwise.
• AREA Blava parking: tariff A costs €2.5 per hour, tariff B €2.25 per hour.
• Fuel: Gasolina 95 E5 averages €1.953 in the municipality, with stations in the sample ranging from €1.758 to €2.059.

Charging, Fines and the One Electric Car

Our Electric class holds a single car on this page, the Fiat 500e at €34 a day with automatic transmission. Municipal charging runs through Endolla Barcelona. Speeding penalties in Spain follow the DGT table: from €100 with no points up to €600 and six points, and going more than 60 km/h over the limit in town turns an administrative fine into a criminal offence. Alcohol limits sit at 0.25 mg/l of breath, or 0.15 mg/l for drivers in their first two years.

Weekly Rental Cars in Barcelona for Trips Out of the City

A week gives you enough time to leave the city behind, and the same car that handles Ciutat Vella traffic will take you to Sitges, Montserrat, the Costa Brava or the Penedès wine country.

Motorway Routes Out of Town

• Autopista and autovía limits: 120 km/h for passenger cars, whether you are heading down the coast towards Tarragona or inland towards Girona.
• Ordinary carretera convencional: 90 km/h, which the road owner may raise to 100 km/h on specific stretches.
• Rondes B-10 and B-20 inside the city: 80 km/h is the general limit for these urban motorways unless a sign says otherwise.
• Speed fines: the DGT scale runs from €100 with no points to €600 with 6 points, and anything more than 80 km/h over the limit outside town becomes a criminal offence rather than an administrative one.

Which Weekly Car Suits a Trip Out of Town

For a day trip to Sitges or Montserrat, any of our €19–€20 Economy hatchbacks does the job: Fiat Panda, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Fiat Pandina or Toyota Aygo, all manual.

Documents, Insurance and Rules for Weekly Car Rental in Barcelona

Weekly car rental in Barcelona runs on Spanish rules for drivers and on paperwork that we settle with you when the booking is agreed. The two things worth knowing before you travel are which licence you may drive on and what cover comes with the car as standard.

Licence, Passport and Card for a Week Behind the Wheel

• EU/EEA licence: valid in Spain exactly as issued while it has not expired, with no international permit required, including licences from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
• Licence from outside the EU/EEA: valid if it 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 (Permiso Internacional de Conducción) before the trip.
• Licence not in Spanish: 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.
• International driving permit: a supporting document only — it is shown together with your passport and your national licence, never on its own, and it is valid for one year.
• Passport or ID: the original in the name of the main driver; rental companies ask for it, though the DGT sets no single rule on it.
• Bank card: a credit card in the name of the main driver for the deposit is standard practice, and debit cards are not accepted everywhere.

Minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, the cards accepted and the deposit amount are agreed when booking.

Insurance That Comes with the Car and the Options on Top

• Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil: compulsory third-party cover that comes with any car legally on the road in Spain and is included in the rental by default; it pays for harm to third parties, not for the driver and not for the car, with limits of 70,000,000 EUR per case for personal injury however many people are hurt, and 15,000,000 EUR per case for property.

The deposit and the excess are set out in the rental agreement.

Booking a Week of Car Rental in Barcelona

Booking a week of car rental in Barcelona with Rent-Trip runs through a manager, not an instant checkout: you send the dates and the model, we confirm the car and agree the hand-over with you before anything is fixed.

What to Send Before the Booking Is Agreed

• Dates and length of rental: a week is charged as the daily rate × 6.
• Preferred model or class: Economy from €19 a day or the Electric Fiat 500e at €34 a day, whichever suits the trip.
• Hand-over point and time: this is settled with the manager, so give the area you are staying in rather than an exact address.

How the Manager Confirms the Week

We agree every booking with a manager, so the confirmation carries the model, the weekly total and the hand-over arrangements in one message. The weekly total is agreed when booking, and the terms of the rental agreement are set out for you before you drive away. Ask about the model you actually want rather than the class: at €19–€25 a day the difference between a 4-seat Fiat Panda and a 5-seat Kia Picanto matters more than the price gap.

Booking Early in the Peak Weeks

August is the busiest month of the year for accommodation in the city, and the weekly fleet is small — 24 cars in total, with a single Electric model. Book the week you need as soon as your travel dates are fixed, especially if you want the Fiat 500e or an automatic.

What Happens at the Hand-Over

The car is delivered to the client, so the meeting point and the time are the two details to settle with the manager in advance. Check the bodywork and the fuel level against the paperwork when the car arrives, and keep your copy of the document — the deposit and the excess are set out in the rental agreement. If anything about the car does not match what was agreed, raise it at the hand-over rather than later.

What to Know Before You Book a Weekly Car Rental in Barcelona

A week is the point where the daily rate stops being the only number that matters.

What the Weekly Rate Does and Does Not Cover

The weekly figure on this page is the daily rate multiplied by six, so €19 a day becomes €114 for the week and €34 a day becomes €204. The price you see includes the mandatory third-party liability cover that Spanish law attaches to every legally registered car, with limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR for property damage.

Papers and Rules That Matter for a Week Behind the Wheel

• Driving licence: an EU or EEA licence is valid in Spain as long as it has not expired; a licence from outside the EEA is accepted when it is valid and the holder meets the Spanish age requirement for the equivalent category.
• Non-Latin script: a licence not issued in Spanish is valid either with an official certified translation into Spanish or when it follows the Geneva or Vienna Convention formats — an International Driving Permit is the practical alternative for Cyrillic, Arabic or character-based licences.
• Identity document: the original document in the main driver's name, as rental companies require.
• Environmental badge: the ZBE Rondes BCN covers more than 95 km² of the municipality on working days, Monday to Friday, and access depends on the DGT environmental label.
• Paid parking: AREA Blava A costs €2.5 per hour and AREA Blava B €2.25.

Where a Week Takes You

The Rondes B-10 and B-20 run at 80 km/h inside the built-up area, motorways at 120 km/h and ordinary out-of-town roads at 90 km/h, so a week comfortably covers day trips well beyond the city — Sitges, Montserrat, the Penedès wine country or the Costa Brava.
