Commercial car rental in Spain

Need a commercial van in Spain without a counter queue? Rent-Trip has 26 commercial vehicles — Renault Express Van, Ford Transit Connect, Fiat Doblo, Ford Transit, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and more — from €40 per day, weekly from €240, monthly from €840.

What commercial car rental in Spain covers

Commercial car rental with Rent-Trip is a self-drive class of 26 diesel vans — panel vans and vans with 2, 3 or 5 seats — from €40 to €138 per day. Every vehicle is manual, and we deliver it to your address in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia or the Costa Brava.

What the Commercial class includes

We run 26 commercial vehicles here: panel vans and vans, all diesel, all with a manual gearbox, seating 2, 3 or 5 people. Renault Express Van opens the class at €40 per day with a 1.5 L, 95 hp engine and front-wheel drive; Ford Transit H2 350 L3 closes it at €138 per day with a 2.0 L, 130 hp unit and rear-wheel drive. Between those two sit the Ford Transit Connect, Fiat Doblo, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Opel Vivaro Cargo, Renault Kangoo Van, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter and Fiat Ducato L2.

Panel van or van — what the difference means on the road

We fit every car in the class with a manual gearbox, so the choice comes down to body, seats and drivetrain — not transmission.

Which jobs the class covers

• Furniture and flat moves: 5-seat panel vans from €41 to €74 per day.
• Long-haul and heavy loads: Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter and Fiat Ducato L2 from €44 to €138 per day.
• Crew transport with cargo: 3-seat vans keep two passengers beside the driver with the load bay behind.

Commercial car rental in Spain and which van fits the job

Twenty-six commercial vehicles in one class, and the choice between them comes down to four things: how many seats you need in the cabin, which wheels do the driving, how much engine you want under the load, and what you are willing to pay per day. Below is the full fleet with the numbers that matter.

Models, seats and prices at a glance

The cheapest and the dearest machine in our commercial fleet sit €98 apart, so the range starts at €40 per day and tops out at €138 per day — the same class, two very different jobs.

Compact vans for city work

Renault Express Van, Renault Kangoo Van and Ford Transit Connect are the compact end of the class, from €40 to €84 per day.

Large vans for volume and weight

Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter and Fiat Ducato L2 cover the large end of the class, from €44 (the Valencia Transit) to €138 per day.

Rates for commercial car rental in Spain and what it costs

Commercial vehicle hire with Rent-Trip is priced per day, per week and per month, and every figure is agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Rates sit between €40 and €138 per day; a week starts at €240 and a month at €840.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Daily rates in our Commercial class run from €40 to €138; a week starts at €240 and a month at €840. For a two-week job on a mid-range Opel Vivaro Cargo at €65 per day, the same six-day multiplier applies twice — that is where the saving actually sits.

What the price includes and what is agreed at booking

• Obligatory third-party insurance: Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil is included in any booking by Spanish law and covers injury and property damage to third parties, not the car itself.
• Announced price: under Spanish consumer rules the advertised price must include every compulsory charge you cannot legally drive without.
• Fuel: the car is supplied with a full tank and returned full — lleno-lleno in Spain; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are then charged as set out in the rental agreement, and no other fuel option is offered.
• Deposit: the preautorización on the card is set out in the rental agreement, and the amount is confirmed before anything is signed.
• Delivery: the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed; outside Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and the Costa Brava it is arranged case by case.

The minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, the cards accepted and the territory limit are conditions agreed with a manager when you book — they are not fixed by Spanish law, so ask before you commit rather than assuming a figure.

Delivery of your commercial rental car in Spain

Rent-Trip hands over every vehicle in the Commercial class at the address you give us, not at a counter. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, so the van arrives where the work starts — a workshop yard, a warehouse gate, a flat on the fourth floor with a lift that takes boxes.

Where we deliver on this page:

• Madrid: any address in the city, plus Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD).
• Barcelona: any address in the city, plus Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN).
• Valencia: any address in the city, plus Valencia Airport (VLC).
• Costa Brava: any address in the Costa Brava towns we have a page for, plus Girona-Costa Brava (GRO) and Barcelona-El Prat (BCN).

Delivery outside these four areas is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask the manager when you book, and you will get a straight answer rather than a maybe.

The van comes clean with a full tank and must go back with a full tank — here the trade calls this lleno-lleno, and it is the only fuel option we offer. If the tank is not full on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Photograph the gauge when you collect the van and again when you hand it back, and the two numbers settle everything.

The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not quoted here.

Documents and licence rules for commercial car rental in Spain

Licence and document rules for commercial car rental here are set by the country, not by the city where you pick the van up.

Which licences work for commercial car rental in Spain

• EU and EEA licences: valid exactly as issued, for as long as they have not expired. No international permit is required.
• Non-EU licences: valid for driving here if the licence is in force, the holder is old enough for the equivalent Spanish category, and no more than six months have passed since they took up ordinary residence in the country. The DGT advises getting an international driving permit before the trip.
• Licences not written in Spanish: accepted with an official certified translation, or where the licence itself follows Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
• International driving permit (Permiso Internacional de Conducción): a supporting document only — shown together with your passport and your national licence, never on its own. It runs for one year.

The practical trap is a licence printed in a non-Latin script: Cyrillic, Arabic or characters. In that case the national licence is valid here only with a certified translation or an international permit, and the papers themselves stay the renter's responsibility.

Passport, identity and the rental agreement

The original identity document in the main driver's name is what rental companies ask for, though the DGT sets no single national rule on it. The same goes for the bank card and the minimum age — the card used for the deposit and the young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking, not fixed by Spanish law. Driving here itself is allowed from 18 for category B.

Two things are worth knowing before you sign anything. First, an advertised price must include every compulsory charge without which the car cannot legally move — the mandatory third-party insurance among them. Second, when the car is handed over, every scratch and dent has to be entered in the agreement or in the inspection sheet before you drive off, signed by both sides, with a copy left with you. Miss that step and damage found later is charged to the renter.

Insurance and excess on a commercial rental in Spain

Every commercial vehicle we supply here carries Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil — the compulsory third-party cover that comes with any car legally on the road. It pays for damage to other people and their property, not for the van itself and not for the driver. The legal limits are 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury, however many people are hurt, and 15,000,000 EUR for property damage. Those figures come from Real Decreto Legislativo 8/2004, article 4.2, as amended by Ley 5/2025, and they have applied since 26.07.2025.

What we can say is what each option does:

• CDW (Collision Damage Waiver): removes your liability for damage to the van itself after a collision with another vehicle or an object, except for the excess amount.
• THW (Theft Protection): covers full or partial theft and vandalism damage, again except for the excess.

The excess itself — franquicia in Spanish — is the amount you pay yourself when there is damage. It is printed in the rental agreement, so the figure is on the paperwork before you drive away. Two practical points. First, the compulsory policy stays valid even if the person driving was not named in the agreement, but that does not make an unnamed driver a good idea — the cover for the vehicle and the driver is a different question, and the driver question is agreed when booking. Second, walk the van with the person handing it over and get every scratch and dent written into the agreement or the inspection sheet before you leave; the consumer authority requires this, both sides sign it, and you keep a copy. Damage recorded after you have driven off is damage that gets attributed to you.

Photograph the four corners and the roof line yourself before the first trip, whatever the inspection sheet says.

Driving rules and fines for commercial car rental in Spain

• Autopista and autovía: 120 km/h for passenger cars, motorcycles and motorhomes up to 3,500 kg — the ceiling on the AP-7, A-2, C-32 and C-33.
• Carretera convencional: 90 km/h as the general limit, though the road owner may raise it to 100 km/h on a signed stretch.
• Urban streets: 30 km/h where there is one lane in each direction, 20 km/h on a single-platform street, and 50 km/h where two or more lanes run one way.
• Motorways inside a built-up area: 80 km/h as the general ceiling — the Rondes B-10 and B-20 in Barcelona run to that figure unless a sign says otherwise.

Alcohol, phones and penalties

Drink-driving limits are 0.25 mg/l of breath for the general driver, 0.15 mg/l for professionals and for anyone in their first two years, and above 0.60 mg/l it stops being an administrative fine and becomes a criminal offence. Holding a phone behind the wheel costs €200 and six points; a seatbelt or child-seat offence costs €200 and four points. Child restraints are compulsory for anyone up to 135 cm tall, and the driver carries the responsibility for that. Speed penalties follow the DGT table and step from €100 with no points to €600 with six: on a 30 km/h urban street, 31–50 km/h costs €100, 51–60 costs €300 and two points, 61–70 costs €400 and four, 71–80 costs €500 and six, and anything above 81 km/h costs €600 and six points. On a 120 km/h autovía the same ladder starts at 121 km/h. Exceeding the limit by more than 60 km/h in town or 80 km/h outside it is a criminal matter rather than a fine. Paying within 20 calendar days cuts the amount by 50%.
