Electric car rental in Madrid
Kenan AlkanCity and intercity driver
Published Updated
Electric car rental in Madrid starts with a simple question: how many electric cars can you actually choose from? We have 8 electric cars on this page, from €30 to €90 per day, weekly from €180 and monthly from €630 — Citroen e-C3, Fiat 500e, Renault Zoe, Peugeot e-208, Cupra Born, Mercedes-Benz EQA, Tesla Model 3 and Jaguar I-Pace, all automatic.
Which electric cars you can rent in Madrid
Our electric fleet in Madrid has 8 cars, all automatic and all carrying the blue 0 emisiones sticker. Daily rates run from €30 for the Citroen e-C3 to €90 for the Jaguar I-Pace, and every model seats four or five.
The full electric fleet with daily prices
| Model | Body | Seats | Drivetrain | Power | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Citroen e-C3 | Hatchback | 5 | Front-wheel | 113 hp | €30 |
| Fiat 500e | Hatchback | 4 | Front-wheel | 118 hp | €32 |
| Renault Zoe | Hatchback | 5 | Front-wheel | 135 hp | €34 |

| Tesla Model 3 | Sedan | 5 | Rear-wheel | 283 hp | €86 |
| Jaguar I-Pace | Crossover | 5 | All-wheel | 400 hp | €90 |
Which electric car suits the city centre
The Renault Zoe at €34 and the Peugeot e-208 at €35 sit in the same bracket and add a fifth seat, which the Fiat 500e does not have — it seats four. Check your passenger count before you pick the cheapest car on the page.
Long-range models for a week of driving
The Model 3 puts 283 hp through the rear wheels, the I-Pace sends 400 hp to all four, and the Cupra Born at €58 sits between them with 204 hp and rear-wheel drive.
- Citroen e-C3: €30 a day, 5 seats, 113 hp — the cheapest way into the electric fleet and fine for two people and city work.
- Peugeot e-208: €35 a day, 5 seats, 136 hp — same size class as the Zoe with a slightly higher output.
- Cupra Born: €58 a day, 5 seats, 204 hp — rear-wheel drive and the first real step up in power.
- Jaguar I-Pace: €90 a day, 5 seats, 400 hp — all-wheel drive and the most powerful electric car we rent.
What electric car rental in Madrid costs
Electric car rental in Madrid with Rent-Trip is priced per day, with longer bookings charged at a fixed multiplier rather than a negotiated discount.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates
Electric car rental in Madrid starts at €30 per day, €180 per week and €630 per month. A week is charged as six days and a month as twenty-one, so the effective daily rate falls the longer you keep the car: the €30 Citroen e-C3 is the cheapest way into the electric class, and the €90 Jaguar I-Pace sits at the top of it. The €90 Jaguar I-Pace follows the same ladder — €540 for a week, €1,890 for a month.
What the price includes and what is agreed at booking
The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not fixed on this page. If you are comparing a week of electric rental against a shorter booking, price both with the manager on the same day — the multiplier makes the longer one cheaper per day, but only if the dates are actually available.
| Citroen e-C3 | Hatchback | 5 | €30 | €180 | €630 |

| Renault Zoe | Hatchback | 5 | €34 | €204 | €714 |
| Peugeot e-208 | Hatchback | 5 | €35 | €210 | €735 |

Electric car rental in Madrid and the 0 emisiones sticker
ZBE Madrid (Zona de Bajas Emisiones de Madrid) covers every city street of the municipality — all 21 districts.
Where an electric hire car may drive in the city
Every Rent-Trip electric car carries the etiqueta 0 emisiones — the blue DGT sticker — and may enter all 21 districts of ZBE Madrid. The boundary is not a ring road or a signed perimeter you can plan around: the low-emission zone is the whole municipality, so a car without a valid sticker is restricted on any street inside it, not only in Centro or around Gran Vía. The sticker is already on the windscreen when we hand the car over — you never apply for it, register the plate or wait for anything to arrive in the post.
What the rules ask of you, not the car
- Check the vehicle you are given: confirm the etiqueta 0 emisiones is visible before you leave, whatever the model.
Electric car rental in Madrid for trips outside the city
Day-trip distances and what they demand
- Ávila: around 110 km west, the longest of the classic day trips from the centre.
- Alcalá de Henares: about 35 km east on the A-2, the shortest run on this list.
Electric car rental in Madrid with parking advice
Paid street parking is run by SER, the Servicio de Estacionamiento Regulado, and the blue 0 emisiones sticker on every Rent-Trip car changes what you pay. The city splits kerbside parking into two zones: zona azul, where the maximum stay is 4 hours, and zona verde, where it is 2 hours. Both run Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 21:00 and on Saturday from 09:00 to 15:00. Outside those windows parking on a marked SER bay is free of charge.
What the 0 emisiones sticker saves you
- ECO sticker: a hybrid or mild-hybrid with the ECO label is treated differently from a zero-emission car, which is why the exact sticker on the windscreen matters more than the size of the car.
Charging and parking are the same decision
We hand the car over with the sticker already on the glass, so nothing about parking requires a separate application, a registration or a trip to an office.
Electric car rental in Madrid booking and documents
- EU/EEA licence: fully valid in Spain as long as it has not expired — no extra paperwork, and an international driving permit is not required.
- Non-EU licence: valid for driving as a visitor; residents may use it for no more than six months from the date they take up ordinary residence in Spain, after which a canje exchange applies.
- Licence not in Latin script: Cyrillic, Arabic and character-based licences are accepted only if issued in Spanish, accompanied by an official translation, or drawn up to Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention — in practice that means an international driving permit or a certified translation.
- International driving permit: never valid on its own; it is shown together with the passport and the national licence, and runs for one year.
What is agreed when booking
In Spain you may drive from 18, but companies commonly start at 21 and some at 23, usually asking for at least one year of holding the licence. The deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount sit in the same place: they are set out in the agreement, and the manager gives you the full figure before you confirm. Ask for that number rather than working from the daily rate alone — €30 a day is the rate, not the whole cost of the booking.
How the hand-over works
You do not collect anything yourself: we deliver the car to you, and the booking itself is agreed with a manager. That is the whole arrangement — pick the model, settle the dates, and the manager confirms what applies to your booking. Nothing about the hand-over is fixed here beyond that, because the terms of the agreement govern it. Our eight electric cars are automatic and carry the blue etiqueta 0 emisiones, so the registration step that foreign-plated cars need does not apply to you.
Choosing before you confirm
- Family of five: the Renault Zoe at €34, the Peugeot e-208 at €35 or the Cupra Born at €58, all with five seats.
Whichever you take, sort the documents before the booking conversation, not during it — a licence that needs a certified translation or an international permit is the one thing that cannot be arranged at the last minute.
