Classes on this page

• Transmission: Automatic or Manual — Automatic is worth the small step up if you have not driven a Spanish manual before.

Car rental in Costa Brava prices by class and by trip length

Rates on this page run from €35 to €80 per day, and the class you pick moves that figure more than the length of your stay does. Longer bookings price differently: a week is charged as the daily rate multiplied by six, a month as the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one.

What each class costs

• Comfort: 15 cars from €35 per day — Skoda Scala, Ford Focus, Hyundai i30, Opel Astra, Renault Megane, Seat Leon and similar hatchbacks.
• Crossover: 20 cars from €38 per day — Ford Ecosport, Opel Crossland, Citroen C3 Aircross, Dacia Duster, Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur, Seat Arona.
• SUV: 9 cars from €50 per day — Renault Kadjar, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage with 1.3 to 1.6 litre engines.
• Minivans: 7 cars from €55 per day — Citroen Berlingo and Ford C-MAX, both five-seat diesel or petrol.
• Automatic and hybrid options: Mini One 5-door at €40, Peugeot 308 at €40, Toyota Corolla at €42, Toyota Yaris Cross at €45, Renault Arkana at €50.

Weekly and monthly rates

A month starts at €735, the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one. The same multipliers apply to every class, so a Crossover week begins at €228 and a Crossover month at €798, while a Minivan week starts at €330.

Where the price actually moves

Only 16 of the 51 cars are automatic, so fix the class you want early rather than on the day.

Deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees and any discount are set out in the rental agreement — we do not quote them here.

Delivery and booking with car rental in Costa Brava for Pals and Peratallada

Our car rental in Costa Brava for a trip to Pals and Peratallada works on one simple principle: the car comes to you. We deliver to any address in the towns we have a page for, and to Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) and Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) for this stretch of coast. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed — that conversation is what turns a request into a confirmed car.

What we need from you before the car is confirmed

• The trip shape: a single day to Pals and Peratallada, a week along Baix Empordà, or a month with the coast as a base — it decides the class and the rate.
• The lead driver's details: the name that goes into the agreement, so the paperwork matches the person collecting the car.
• One agreed contact: a phone number that works on the day, so the manager can reach you about the delivery slot.

How the booking is fixed

If you need seven seats for a group heading to the villages, say so at this point rather than on the morning of the trip.

What is agreed with a manager, and what is settled in the agreement

The car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank — full-to-full, lleno-lleno in Spain — otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Documents, the minimum age and the cards accepted are also agreed when booking, not assumed from the website. Ask about them in the same message as your dates; it saves a second exchange.

The Girona low-emission zone

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. It operates 7–20, Monday to Friday, on working days, and restricts cars without a DGT environmental badge that are not registered in Girona. There is a 24-day annual allowance inside the restricted hours without a permit, and cameras read number plates rather than badges, so nothing needs to be displayed. Spanish rental fleets carry the DGT badge, and cars displaying it face no restriction. Foreign plates can obtain a temporary authorisation if the vehicle meets the technical and environmental requirements. Our cars come with the badge, so the zone is not a barrier on a day trip inland — but if you plan a Girona stop on a weekday, keep the 7–20 window in mind when timing your return to the coast.

Documents and fuel policy for renting in Costa Brava for Pals and Peratallada

The paperwork for a self-drive trip to Pals and Peratallada is short, but two details decide how smoothly the hand-over goes: which licence you hold and which card you bring. Everything else — the deposit, the excess, the delivery slot — is set out in the rental agreement.

Driving licence and ID

• EU/EEA licence: fully valid in Spain while it has not expired, so a driver from Ireland, Germany or Poland needs nothing extra and no international permit.
• Non-EU licence: the DGT advises getting an international driving permit before the trip and carrying it together with your passport and your national licence — the permit on its own is not valid.
• Licence not in Spanish: it works either with an official certified translation into Spanish or if it was issued to the model of Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
• Passport or ID: the original document in the name of the main driver — a rental-company requirement, with no single DGT rule behind it.

Fuel: full to full

If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. We offer no other fuel option on this page: no pre-paid tank, no full-to-empty.

Practical takeaways from car rental in Costa Brava for Pals and Peratallada

Two inland villages, one loop, and a car that waits where you sleep — that is the whole shape of the day. What follows is the order to drive it in, where the time actually goes, and which details are worth settling before you set off.

Before you leave the address

• Delivery slot agreed: the address, date and time are fixed with a manager before the booking is confirmed — that is also where the rest of the conditions are set out in the rental agreement.

The stretch worth knowing about

If you are travelling as a group, the seven-seat Minivans from €60/day keep everyone in one car instead of splitting the party across two. Our fleet on this page runs to 51 cars across four classes, and we deliver to any address in the Costa Brava towns we have a page for, including Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO).

Book the car for the day you actually want, not the day you land — a spare morning on the coast is better spent on the beach than on the Baix Empordà lanes in a hurry.
