The full Opel fleet, model by model
| Model | Class | Seats | Fuel | Transmission | From per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Opel Corsa | Economy | 5 | Petrol | Manual | €26 |
| Opel Astra | Comfort | 5 | Petrol | Manual | €36 |
| Opel Crossland | Crossover | 5 | Petrol | Manual | €38 |

| Opel Zafira Life | Passenger vans | 8 | Diesel | Automatic | €110 |
Petrol or diesel, manual or automatic
Five Opels run on petrol with a manual gearbox, three run on diesel, and the Opel Zafira Life is the only automatic. The Opel Corsa, Opel Astra, Opel Astra Sports Tourer, Opel Crossland and Opel Mokka all take 1.2 L petrol engines from 75 to 130 hp; the Opel Vivaro Cargo, Opel Vivaro Life and Opel Zafira Life use 2.0 L diesels of 120, 150 and 145 hp. Every Opel on this page is front-wheel drive. If you need an automatic, book early — one car carries that gearbox.
Which Opel suits a small group or a lot of luggage
- Opel Zafira Life: seats 8 with the only automatic gearbox among the Opels, from €110 a day.
- Opel Vivaro Cargo: 3 seats and a van body, the pick when luggage matters more than passengers, from €65.
- Opel Astra Sports Tourer: an estate with 5 seats, the middle ground for a family with suitcases, from €40.
- Opel Mokka: a 130 hp crossover, the most powerful petrol car here, from €42.
A 9-seat minibus is a different driving proposition from a hatchback on the coast roads — match the car to the road, not only to the headcount.
Opel car rental in Costa Brava prices and longer bookings
The band you are choosing inside runs from €26 to €110 a day, and the class you pick sets the floor.
Opel car rental in Costa Brava prices by class
| Class | Cars | From per day | Weekly from | Monthly from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | 1 | €26 | €156 | €546 |
| Comfort | 2 | €36 | €216 | €756 |
| Crossover | 2 | €38 | €228 | €798 |
| Commercial | 1 | €65 | €390 | €1,365 |
| Passenger vans | 2 | €90 | €540 | €1,890 |
Opel car rental in Costa Brava starts at €26 a day for the Economy class and reaches €110 a day for the 8-seat automatic. Between those two ends sit Comfort from €36, Crossover from €38, Commercial from €65 and Passenger vans from €90 — five classes over 8 cars in total. The class figure is a floor, not a fixed rate: the model you pick inside the class sets the final daily number, which is why the Opel Astra Sports Tourer at €40 and the Opel Mokka at €42 both sit above the class entry points. Read the model line, not only the class, before you compare two prices.
How weekly and monthly Opel rental is priced
A week of Opel rental is priced at the daily rate × 6, from €156, and a month at the daily rate × 21, from €546. The same arithmetic runs up the range: the €110 Zafira Life comes to €660 for a week and €2,310 for a month. What decides your own figure is the model, the class and the length of the booking; the deposit, excess and any fees are set out in the rental agreement, not in the daily rate.
What to compare before you fix a price
- Model inside the class: the entry price is a floor; the specific Opel you want may sit a few euros above it.
- Length of booking: daily × 6 for a week and daily × 21 for a month are the only multipliers we apply.
- Longer rental, lower floor: the cheapest daily rate gives the cheapest week and the cheapest month, so start from the bottom of the table.
Booking and delivery of your Opel car rental in Costa Brava
The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the car arrives clean with a full tank.
How the booking is agreed with a manager
- Address: the hotel, apartment or villa where you are staying — a manager confirms it fits our delivery zone before the booking is fixed.
- Date and time: agreed with the same manager, so the hand-over is arranged around your arrival.
- Airport arrivals: we deliver to Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) and Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN).
- Towns we have a page for: Girona, Figueres, Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar, Blanes, Platja d'Aro, Palafrugell, Begur, L'Escala, Roses and Cadaqués.
- Outside those towns: delivery is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask the manager when you book.
A self-drive Opel handed over at your address changes what a Costa Brava week looks like: the region is a coastline of resorts rather than one town, and the distances between them are real.
What to have ready before the hand-over
- Driving licence: EU and EEA licences are valid in Spain while they have not expired, and no international permit is needed for them.
- Non-EU licence: the DGT advises getting an international driving permit before the trip and carrying it with your passport and national licence.
- Licence not in Spanish: it is valid with an official certified translation into Spanish, or if it was issued under the model of Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
- Card for the deposit: which card is accepted is agreed when booking; the deposit amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Fuel: the car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank — full-to-full, lleno-lleno. No other fuel option is offered.
- Minimum age, young-driver surcharge and cards accepted: agreed when booking, not fixed on this page.
Documents, licence and deposit for Opel car rental in Costa Brava
Spain applies one set of driving-document rules across the whole country, and they are the same whether you collect an Opel at Girona-Costa Brava Airport or have it brought to your hotel.
Licence and ID for Opel car rental in Costa Brava
- EU/EEA licence: fully valid in Spain for as long as it has not expired — no international driving permit is required and nothing extra has to be added to it.
- Non-EU/EEA licence: valid for driving in Spain if the licence is still in force, if you are old enough for the equivalent category here, 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.
- 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 (Permiso Internacional de Conducción): an additional document only — it is shown together with your passport and your national licence, is valid for one year, and comes as a grey tri-fold booklet of 16 pages in Spanish, German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian.
- Passport or ID: the original document in the name of the main driver; companies require this, and there is no single DGT rule covering it.
- Bank card: which card is accepted for the deposit is agreed when booking; debit cards are not accepted everywhere, and this is a rental condition rather than a rule of law.
What the agreement fixes when you book
The deposit and the excess are both set out in the agreement.
One point worth knowing before you choose a car: under Spanish consumer rules the advertised price has to include every compulsory charge you cannot legally drive without, such as the mandatory third-party cover and the young-driver surcharge. If the model you booked is not available, you can ask for another car at no extra cost — even one class above — and if you are given a lower class, the price has to come down. Damage that is not written into the contract or the inspection sheet before you drive away can later be charged to you, so check the sheet and keep your copy.
Fuel, roads and the Girona ZBE for Opel car rental in Costa Brava
An Opel is the easy part of driving here: right-hand traffic, left-hand drive, and the AP-7 corridor south of the French border has been toll-free since 01.09.2021.
Fuel and what a tank actually costs
- Petrol 95 E5: averaging 1.94 EUR/l across the province of Girona and 1.956 EUR/l on the coast, with 250 filling stations recorded in the province and 58 along the coast.
- Diesel (Gasóleo A): averaging 1.922 EUR/l in the province and 1.932 EUR/l on the coast — the cheaper pump, and the fuel in our three diesel Opels.
- Petrol 98 E5: averaging 2.106 EUR/l in the province and 2.131 EUR/l on the coast, with 152 stations province-wide.
- The spread matters more than the average: the cheapest petrol 95 in the province sits at 1.718 EUR/l and the dearest at 2.122 EUR/l, so where you fill up moves the total more than which grade you pick.
We hand the car over with a full tank and ask for it back full — full-to-full, or lleno-lleno in Spanish. Anything else is charged as set out in the rental agreement. Refuelling away from the beach strip helps a little: the coastal average is a fraction above the provincial one.
Roads, tolls and the Girona low-emission zone
The motorway network you will use is free. AP-7 between Vila-seca and La Jonquera — the whole Barcelona–Girona–French border corridor — has been toll-free since 01.09.2021, as have C-32 through the Maresme (Montgat to Palafolls) and C-33 from Barcelona to Montmeló, both with barriers lifted in the night of 31 August to 1 September 2021. Catalonia's remaining tolls are the C-16 into the Pyrenees and the southern C-32 towards Sitges and El Vendrell; neither sits on a Costa Brava route.
Inland, Girona runs a Zona de baixes emissions (ZBE) de Girona, in force since 15.09.2025. It covers the area from la Devesa park to c. d'Emili Grahit and from c. del Riu Güell to c. del Carme and the Barri Vell, and it operates 7–20, Monday to Friday on working days. Cars without a DGT environmental badge that are not registered in Girona are the ones restricted; cameras read plates, so there is nothing to display.
Renting an Opel in Costa Brava for families, groups and luggage
Family and group trips along the coast are decided by seats and boot space long before anyone looks at the engine. Our Opel line-up covers the whole spread — from a five-seat hatchback for a couple with one child to a nine-seat minibus for a full group with hold luggage.
Which Opel fits your group size
- Opel Vivaro Cargo: three seats and a van body, diesel, manual — for a group that travels light but carries bulky gear, bikes or diving kit.
Seats, luggage and the coast roads
The three-seat Opel Vivaro Cargo and the nine-seat Opel Vivaro Life sit in different classes at €65 and €90 a day, so the headcount alone does not settle the booking. Match the car to where it will sleep at night, not only to who sits inside it.
Child seats and the 135 cm rule
Spanish rules require a child restraint system for any passenger under 135 cm. From 135 cm and up, the standard belt is allowed for children under 12. Child seats are not priced on this page; ask the manager about one when you book, and give the ages and heights of the children.
What is included in Opel car rental in Costa Brava
Every Opel on this page is handed over clean, with a full tank, and must come back with a full tank — the full-to-full rule we apply on all our Spanish vehicles. What is not in the rate — the deposit, the excess, delivery outside the towns we cover, any discount — is written into the agreement and confirmed before you sign anything.
- Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil: the compulsory third-party cover every car in Spain carries, included by law rather than sold as an option.
- Clean car, full tank at hand-over: the Opel is delivered washed and fuelled, so the first thing you do is drive it, not queue at a petrol station.
- Delivery to your address: we bring the car to any address in the Costa Brava towns we have a page for, and to Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) and Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN).
The compulsory cover is the floor, not the ceiling. It protects the people you hit — never the rented car itself and never you as the driver. Walk round the Opel with the person delivering it, get every existing mark recorded, and keep your copy — that single habit costs nothing and settles most disputes before they start.
What to decide before booking Opel car rental in Costa Brava
Four things decide how your Opel hire on this coast actually goes: the model, the booking length, the delivery address and the paperwork.
Model before price
Work backwards from the trip, not forwards from the cheapest rate.
Length of booking
- Daily: €26–€110 depending on the model, the right choice for a two- or three-day hop between resorts.
- Weekly: the daily rate multiplied by six, from €156 — seven days cost the same as six daily rates.
- Monthly: the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one, from €546 for longer stays or a second home.
- Delivery address: agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, along with the date and the time.
- Fuel: the car comes with a full tank and goes back full.
What to fix before the booking is confirmed
The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed — not afterwards, and not at the kerb. Everything else — the deposit, the excess, any fees — is set out in the rental agreement you receive, so read it before you sign rather than at hand-over.
One last thing
Book the model you can actually park. Match the car to the roads you will really drive, and the week takes care of itself.
