What car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) means with us

You choose the model on this page, tell a manager where and when you want it, and we bring it there.

Where we deliver a car booked at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

We deliver to Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) and to any address in the Costa Brava towns we have a page for. That covers the airport itself in Vilobí d'Onyar, 12.5 km south-west of Girona, and the resorts along the coast — Lloret de Mar, Blanes, Tossa de Mar, Platja d'Aro, Palafrugell, Begur, L'Escala, Roses and Cadaqués, plus Girona and Figueres inland. Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) is also on the delivery list for this stretch of coast, which matters if your flight lands there instead: BCN sits 89.6 km and about 75 minutes from Lloret de Mar on the C-32 and C-31. Delivery outside those areas is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.

How the delivery address and time are agreed

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Nothing is promised on the site until that agreement is in place — that is the rule we work by, and it is why the hand-over point is a conversation rather than a dropdown menu. Confirm the arrival slot twice: Ryanair, Wizz Air, Jet2.com and TUI Airways all feed this airport. Fix the time with the manager, then treat the booking as firm.

What the price on this page covers

Prices for car hire at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) start at €22 per day and run to €1,100 per day across the 13 classes, with weekly bookings from €132 and monthly from €462. Anything beyond that, from the deposit to the excess to any delivery fee, is set out in the rental agreement rather than guessed at here.

• Economy: 20 cars from €22 per day — Citroen C1, Kia Picanto, Peugeot 108, Toyota Aygo X and similar four- and five-seaters.
• Crossover: 20 cars from €38 — Ford Ecosport, Opel Crossland, Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur, Dacia Duster.

• Premium and SUV: 12 cars from €50 and 9 cars from €50.

• Electric and hybrid: 5 electric cars from €40, including the Fiat 500e; hybrids such as the Toyota Yaris Hybrid from €30.

How car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) works from booking to hand-over

We work on a request-then-confirm model: nothing is fixed until a manager has agreed the delivery address, the date and the time with you.

The booking steps for car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

1. Name the car: pick a class from the 13 on this page, or describe your group and we suggest one.
2. Collect the keys: the car arrives at the agreed address clean and with a full tank, ready to drive.

Deposit, excess, delivery fees and discounts are set out in the rental agreement.

Fuel and condition at hand-over

The car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank (lleno-lleno). No other fuel option is offered on the site. Otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. The car comes clean with a full tank. The last fill-up before you hand the car back is the only fuel stop that matters: fill up at a station close to your return address.

What a week costs by class

Weekly is daily × 6 and monthly is daily × 21 — the only longer-booking rates we quote. August is the month when the Costa Brava fills up, so if your dates fall in high season, request the car early rather than on arrival.

Classes and prices for car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

Thirteen classes sit on this page, from €22 to €1,100 per day. The spread is wide because the fleet runs from a four-seat city hatchback to an Exotic car, and the class you pick decides both the daily figure and how much space you get for luggage.

Price by class for car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

Weekly and monthly rates

Weekly bookings are priced at daily × 6, from €132; monthly at daily × 21, from €462. Those two multipliers are the only longer-booking rates we quote, and they apply across the classes on this page — so a seven-day Economy booking starts from €132, while the same multiplier on a Luxury car moves the figure sharply upward. A longer booking is the only lever on the daily figure we publish.

What sits behind the cheapest class

Twenty Economy cars start at €22, and the class is broader than the name suggests. The Citroen C1, Ford Ka+, Kia Picanto and Peugeot 108 all come in at €22 per day with a 1.0–1.2 L petrol engine, manual gearbox and four seats. The Smart Forfour and Toyota Aygo X step up to €23, the Dacia Sandero, Fiat 500 and Fiat Panda to €24, and five-seaters such as the Citroen C3, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai i20 and Opel Corsa to €25–€26. Three automatic options sit inside the same class: the Hyundai i10 at €25, the Skoda Fabia at €28 and the Toyota Yaris Hybrid at €30. That range matters more than the headline figure — a group of five needs a five-seat body, and the cheapest four-seater will not carry them. Check the seat count before you look at the price.

Which car to pick for car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

Thirteen classes are open on this page, from a 4-seat Economy hatchback at €22 a day to an Exotic car at €500. The choice comes down to three things: how many people travel with you, how much luggage they bring, and whether you want a manual or an automatic.

Matching seats and luggage to your group

Seat counts on this page run 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9, so a group of five fits an Economy five-seater from €24 — the Dacia Sandero, Fiat Panda, Citroen C3, Hyundai i20 or Opel Corsa. Vans and minivans start at €90 and €55, so a large group pays for space, not for distance.

Petrol, hybrid, electric, automatic

Fuel types on this page are Diesel, Electric, Hybrid and Petrol, and transmissions are Automatic and Manual. Electric covers five cars, from the Fiat 500e (24 kWh, 95 hp, automatic, €40 a day) upwards, and they need charging points rather than fuel stations. Automatic starts with the Hyundai i10 at €25 and the Skoda Fabia at €28 and covers 58 of the 125 cars. Petrol dominates the list, from the 67 hp Kia Picanto to the 650 hp Lamborghini Urus. If you have never driven a manual on the right-hand side of the road, book an automatic early.

When a bigger class earns its price

• Passenger vans and minivans: 9 and 7 cars from €90 and €55 — the answer for groups of seven to nine arriving on one flight.
• Commercial: 7 cars from €60 — for travellers moving boxes, bikes or bulky equipment.

Driving on the Costa Brava after car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

This coastline is not a single resort, and the car is what turns a week in one town into a week across five. The AP-7 corridor between Barcelona, Girona and the French border has been toll-free since 01.09.2021, so the fastest line along the coast costs nothing extra.

Tolls, fuel and parking along the coast

• Tolls: AP-7 Vila-seca — La Jonquera and C-32 Maresme (Montgat — Palafolls) carry no charge; on these routes the remaining Generalitat tolls are not in play.
• Fuel: petrol 95 E5 averages €1.94 per litre across the province of Girona, diesel (Gasóleo A) €1.922, with 250 and 266 filling stations respectively.
• Parking: Girona's zona blava runs Monday–Saturday in working hours at €1.20 per hour, capped at two hours (€2.40).
• Lloret de Mar: Can Lloranes holds 160 spaces at roughly €15 per day from 23 June to 11 September and is otherwise free.
• Low-emission zone: Zona de baixes emissions (ZBE) de Girona has operated since 15.09.2025, 7–20, Monday–Friday on working days.

Coast roads, mountain roads and the Cap de Creus access window

Speed limits are the Spanish standard: 120 km/h on autopista and autovía (AP-7, A-2, C-32, C-33), 90 km/h on carretera convencional such as GI-614, GI-682 and C-260. Access to the road to Far de Cap de Creus is controlled through the season — 9:30–19:00 on 28–31 March, selected days in April and May, and specific dates in June — and daily 9:30–21:30 from July to 13 September — so plan the lighthouse before 9:30 or take the Moventis shuttle from Cadaqués.

What the car changes about a week here

Hotel nights across the province swing hard with the season: 2,451,279 in August against 242,712 in January, and 67.6% of August guests were foreign visitors. That concentration is exactly why a car pays off — the shoreline between Blanes and Roses is a chain of small towns, and the timetable-free option is the one you drive yourself. Book the delivery slot with a manager before you commit to an itinerary, because the airport hand-over time is what everything else hangs on.

Documents and rules that apply to car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

Spanish paperwork for a rental car is decided by where the licence was issued, not by where you fly in. The rules below are the ones we work to for every booking on this page, and the conditions of Costa Brava are the only ones we quote.

Licence, passport and card for car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

• EU/EEA licences: valid in Spain as they are, for as long as they have not expired; no international driving permit is needed.
• Non-EU licences: valid for driving as a visitor; the DGT advises getting an international driving permit before the trip and carrying it with your passport and your national licence.
• Licences not in Spanish: accepted either with an official sworn translation into Spanish or if the licence itself follows the model in Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention. Cyrillic, Arabic and character-based licences in practice mean an IDP or a certified translation.
• International driving permit: a supplementary document, shown only together with your passport and your national licence, valid for one year, a grey tri-fold with 16 pages.
• Bank card: which card is accepted for the deposit is agreed when booking; debit cards are not accepted everywhere.

Insurance and excess on car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

Third-party liability cover is included by Spanish law in every rental and applies always — even if the person driving was not named in the agreement. It covers damage to other people, not the driver and not the car; the legal limits are 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury, however many people are hurt, and 15,000,000 EUR per incident for property damage. On top of that, the company may offer a collision damage waiver, which removes your liability for damage to the car after a collision with another vehicle or an object but leaves the excess, with vandalism excluded unless it happened while the car was in use; theft protection works the same way for theft and vandalism. The excess itself is printed in the rental agreement whatever you have bought, so read that line before you sign.

Driving rules and fines on car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

Speed limits are 120 km/h on autopista and autovía, which covers AP-7, A-2, C-32 and C-33, and 90 km/h on carretera convencional such as GI-614, GI-682 and C-260. Speeding fines run 100 EUR with no points, 300 EUR with 2 points, 400 EUR with 4 points, 500 EUR with 6 points and 600 EUR with 6 points, and going more than 60 km/h over the limit in town or 80 km/h over it outside town is a criminal offence rather than an administrative fine. The alcohol limit is 0.25 mg/l of breath, 0.15 mg/l for drivers in their first two years and for professional drivers, and above 0.60 mg/l it is a crime. Using a phone in your hand costs 200 EUR and 6 points; a seatbelt or child seat offence costs 200 EUR and 4 points, and child restraints are compulsory for anyone under 135 cm. Fines are graded leve up to 100 EUR without points, grave at 200 EUR, and muy grave at 500 EUR with points always, with a 50% discount for paying within 20 calendar days.

Low-emission zone and parking rules that apply to car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

The Zona de baixes emissions (ZBE) de Girona has been in force since 15.09.2025 and covers the area from la Devesa park to c. d'Emili Grahit and from c. del Riu Güell to c. del Carme and Barri Vell, restricted Monday to Friday on working days from 7:00 to 20:00 for cars without a DGT environmental badge that are not registered in Girona. Cameras read plates and the sticker does not have to be shown, and there are 24 days a year of allowance inside the restricted hours. Spanish rental fleets carry the DGT badge, so a car from us has no restriction there. In Girona, zona blava and zona verda both cost 1.20 €/h with a two-hour maximum, 2.40 €, on working days from 9:30 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 20:00, with different hours around Sant Narcís, Pedreres–Vista Alegre and Güell–Devesa. Parking fines fall on the owner or the renter of the car, while moving offences, alcohol and drugs fall on whoever was driving. Ask us which badge the car carries before you drive into Girona.

Why travellers choose our car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

This page is for people who land at GRO and want the car waiting where they are going, not where the airport is.

The car comes to you, not the other way round

We deliver to Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) and to any address in the Costa Brava towns we have a page for. Delivery outside those areas is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site. Because the hand-over point is agreed with a manager beforehand, the car is not sitting in a car park you have to find.

125 cars, and a class for the road you are actually driving

• Economy from €22: Citroen C1, Kia Picanto, Peugeot 108 and Toyota Aygo X — four seats, petrol, manual, cheap to park in Girona's zona blava at 1.20 €/h.
• Passenger vans from €90: nine seats for a group that would otherwise need two cars and two drivers.
• Electric from €40: the Fiat 500e carries the DGT environmental badge, which matters inside the Zona de baixes emissions (ZBE) de Girona between 7 and 20, Monday to Friday.
• Luxury and Exotic from €200 and €500: when the trip is an occasion rather than a transfer.

Prices on this page run from €22 to €1,100 per day. Weekly bookings are priced at daily × 6, from €132; monthly at daily × 21, from €462.

We tell you what the trip costs before you drive it

Fuel on this stretch is a known quantity: petrol 95 E5 averages 1.94 EUR/l across the province of Girona, with 250 filling stations, and diesel (Gasóleo A) sits at 1.922 EUR/l. The AP-7 corridor from Barcelona to the French border has been toll-free since 01.09.2021, so the run up from the airport costs you fuel and nothing else. The car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank (lleno-lleno) — no pre-paid tank, no full-to-empty option on this site. Our own advice: fill up away from the coast, where the average climbs to 1.956 EUR/l for petrol 95, and you keep the difference.

Practical conclusions about car rental at Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO)

The car comes to you, the address and the time are agreed with a manager beforehand, and the tank goes out full and comes back full. Everything below is what actually decides whether the trip runs smoothly.

• Book the class before the dates: 125 cars sit on this page across 13 classes, and the smaller ones — Convertibles at 7 cars, Electric at 5, Luxury at 5, Exotic at 5.
• Match seats to the group, not to the road: seat counts run 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9; a family of five fits a five-seat Economy from €24, while passenger vans start at €90 and minivans at €55.
• Read the price as a daily figure first: the page runs €22 to €1,100 per day, and the longer rate is the daily number multiplied — weekly at daily × 6 from €132, monthly at daily × 21 from €462.
• Confirm the fuel rule once: full-to-full is the only option we offer; the missing fuel and a refuelling fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
• Check the ZBE before driving into Girona: the Zona de baixes emissions (ZBE) de Girona runs 7–20, Monday to Friday on working days, and cars in the Spanish fleet carry the DGT environmental badge.

The distances are what make a car worth having here. GRO sits at Vilobí d'Onyar, 12.5 km south-west of Girona, and the resorts are spread along the coast rather than clustered: Lloret de Mar is 34.6 km and 37 minutes away, Roses 75.2 km and 63 minutes, Cadaqués 89.4 km and 80 minutes.

One more thing worth knowing before you commit. The AP-7 corridor from Barcelona to the French border carries no toll, and the C-32 Maresme barriers came down in the same change, so a loop that takes in Blanes, Tossa de Mar and Platja d'Aro costs you fuel rather than gates. Fill up away from the coast where the station count is higher: 250 filling stations across the province against 58 along the shore.
