By car to Aranjuez and Chinchón

A week of palaces and plazas south of the capital starts with a car delivered to your door in Madrid: Rent-Trip has 51 vehicles on this page, from €41 a day, and we bring the keys to you, with the booking agreed with a manager beforehand.

What car rental in Madrid for a trip to Aranjuez and Chinchón costs

Prices on this page run from €41 to €108 per day across 51 cars, split into four classes: Minivans, Comfort, Crossover and SUV. Longer bookings change the arithmetic: a week is charged as six days, a month as twenty-one.

Prices by class on this page

Weekly and monthly rates

Weekly bookings through Rent-Trip start at €246 and monthly at €861, calculated as daily rate × 6 and daily rate × 21.

Agree the length with the manager when you book, because the multiplier is applied to the booking, not to the days you happen to drive. The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not quoted here.

What decides the price you actually pay

• Class: Comfort starts at €41, Minivans at €42, Crossover at €48 and SUV at €58 per day — the gap between the cheapest and the largest here is €17.
• Seats: four-seat cars sit at the bottom of the range, while seven-seat Minivans such as the Nissan NV200 and Dacia Lodgy start at €48.
• Gearbox: an Automatic usually lands in a higher class — the Citroen C4 Picasso at €46 is one of the few automatics near the bottom of the range.
• Length: weekly and monthly bookings are charged as daily rate × 6 and daily rate × 21, so the per-day cost drops the longer you keep the car.

Choosing a car for Aranjuez and Chinchón rental in Madrid

Seats, fuel and gearbox that suit the trip

Rent-Trip keeps 4, 5 and 7 seats on this page, with Diesel, Hybrid and Petrol under the bonnet and both Automatic and Manual gearboxes.

Models worth knowing on this page

• Mini One: the cheapest car here at €41 per day, 4 seats, Petrol, Manual, 1.5 L and 102 hp — enough for two people and a light load.
• Nissan NV200: 7 seats at €48 per day with a 1.5 L Diesel and Manual gearbox, the lowest-priced way to move a group of seven in one car.
• Citroen C4 Picasso: an Automatic with 5 seats, 1.5 L Diesel and 130 hp at €46 per day — a rare automatic at that price on this page.
• Toyota Prius+: 7 seats, Hybrid, Automatic and 136 hp at €58 per day, the only hybrid seven-seater in the line-up here.

Matching the class to the day

Our four classes on this page start at €41 for Comfort and run to €58 for SUV, with Minivans the largest group at 18 cars from €42 and Crossover at 10 cars from €48. Whichever class you settle on, confirm the exact model when the booking is agreed with a manager, since the car is delivered to you and the specification is fixed at that point.

Route for car rental in Madrid to Aranjuez and Chinchón

Other day trips the same car covers

The same vehicle covers day trips to Toledo, Segovia and the Sierra de Guadarrama — all reachable from the same southern and north-western exits, so a single booking can carry more than one outing if you keep the car for longer. Toledo sits south-west on the A-42, Segovia to the north-west past the Sierra, and the Sierra de Guadarrama itself is the closest of the three. Deciding between them is mostly a question of how much driving you want in one day. Keep the fuel policy in mind when you chain trips — a full tank at the start of each leg saves a detour later.

Driving rules on a car rental in Madrid to Aranjuez and Chinchón

What the ZBE Madrid covers and who is kept out

• ZBE Madrid (Zona de Bajas Emisiones de Madrid): covers every urban street of the municipality, all 21 districts — there is no central polygon you can simply drive around.
• Cars without a DGT environmental sticker (category A): petrol vehicles registered before 2000 and diesel vehicles registered before 2005 are the ones the zone is designed to exclude.

Speed limits and the fines behind them

Speed on the motorways is 120 km/h, on an ordinary interurban road 90 km/h, and in town the general limits are 30 km/h on a street with one lane in each direction, 20 km/h on a street where carriageway and pavement form a single platform, and 50 km/h where there are two or more lanes each way. The DGT penalty table is built on the pair of permitted limit and actual speed rather than on the size of the excess: on a 30 km/h street, 31–50 km/h is €100 with no points, 51–60 km/h is €300 and 2 points, 61–70 km/h is €400 and 4 points, 71–80 km/h is €500 and 6 points, and above 81 km/h it is €600 and 6 points. Going more than 60 km/h over the limit in town, or more than 80 km/h outside it, stops being an administrative fine at all. A handheld phone is €200 and 6 points, and an unfastened belt or a child without the right seat is €200 and 4 points — child restraints are required for every passenger 135 cm or shorter. Pay within 20 days and the amount drops by 50%.

Drink, fuel and the checks worth doing before you leave

The general alcohol limit is 0.25 mg per litre of breath, 0.15 mg for drivers in their first two years and for professional drivers, and anything above 0.60 mg is a criminal matter rather than a traffic fine. Winter tyres are not a standing requirement in Spain; DGT imposes the restriction point by point, with signs and gantries, when snow affects driving — for the capital that means the mountain roads of the Sierra de Guadarrama, not the A-4.

Parking and fuel on a car rental in Madrid for a trip to Aranjuez and Chinchón

Fuel and parking decide what the day actually costs. A full tank on the A-4 run and a legal parking space in Aranjuez are the two things worth sorting before you leave, and both follow rules you can plan around.

Fuel: what a litre costs and where to stop

Gasolina 95 E5 averages €1.971 per litre across the 231 stations in the Madrid sample, with a median of €2.009, a low of €1.789 and a high of €2.086.

Parking rules you carry with you from the capital

• SER zona azul (blue): paid kerbside parking with a maximum stay of 4 hours — the zone you meet on city streets before you leave.
• SER zona verde (green): paid parking capped at 2 hours, aimed at residents rather than visitors.
• Hours: weekdays 09:00–21:00, Saturdays 09:00–15:00; outside those windows the kerb is generally free.
• ZBE Madrid: the Zona de Bajas Emisiones de Madrid covers every street of all 21 districts, and cars without a DGT environmental sticker cannot enter.

Pay at the parquímetro and keep the ticket visible; the number on it has to match the car.

Booking, delivery and what the rental agreement covers

Booking a car for the run south starts with a short conversation, not a checkout form. You tell the manager your dates, the number of seats you need and whether you want an automatic, and the booking is agreed with a manager before anything is confirmed. The car then comes to you — we deliver it, so there is no depot detour on the morning of the trip.

What we need from you before the car arrives

• Dates and times: the day you leave, the day you return, and roughly what hour you want the car in your hands.
• Seats and gearbox: 4, 5 or 7 seats, and whether you want Automatic or Manual, since both are in the fleet.
• Longer stays: if the trip is part of a week or a month, say so at this stage — weekly bookings start at €246 and monthly at €861.

What the rental agreement sets out

The agreement is the document that carries the numbers we cannot quote here.

Because our cars are handed over to you rather than collected from a desk, the condition of the vehicle is agreed between us at that point. Note anything you are unsure about there and then, while the car is still in front of both of you.

Keeping the booking flexible

Plans for a day trip move. If your dates shift, or you decide on the seven-seat Nissan NV200 at €48/day instead of the five-seat Ford Focus at €46/day, tell the manager as early as you can — the rate is fixed at booking, so changes are easiest to make before the trip, not on the morning you leave.

Practical tips for car rental in Madrid to Aranjuez and Chinchón

• Keep the car for a second day if you are weighing up Toledo or Segovia: weekly bookings start at €246 and monthly at €861, so the daily rate drops the longer you hold the vehicle.
• Check the emission sticker before you drive into the centre: ZBE Madrid covers all 21 districts of the municipality, and cars without a DGT sticker cannot enter.

Two things decide whether the day feels relaxed or rushed: when you leave and what you drive.

On the car itself, the trade-off is simple. A 4-seat Mini One at €41 a day covers two people and a camera bag. A 5-seat Comfort hatchback from €41 gives you a boot. Seven seats start with the Nissan NV200 at €48 and run up through the Minivans class, which is the largest group on this page at 18 cars.
