Hyundai car rental in Madrid

Six Hyundai models are available for Hyundai car rental in Madrid, from €18 to €72 per day. We deliver the car to you anywhere in the city and agree every booking with a manager. Weekly rates start at €108 and monthly at €378.

Bookable Hyundai models for car rental in Madrid

We keep six Hyundai models for Madrid, and every one of them is delivered to you rather than collected from a lot. The range runs from a 4-seat city hatchback at €18 a day to a 9-seat diesel van at €70 — five classes, one brand, all self-drive.

Six Hyundai models on this page, from i10 to Tucson

The i10 and i20 sit in Economy, so the cheapest way into a Hyundai is also the smallest car on the page. Two of the six — the Staria van and the Tucson SUV — run on diesel, and both are the models a group or a luggage-heavy trip tends to end up with.

Manual gearbox, front-wheel drive and what that means for you

All six Hyundais on this page have a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. Engines span 1.0 L to 2.2 L and 67 hp to 177 hp, so the i10 at 67 hp and the Staria at 177 hp drive nothing alike despite sharing a badge. Front-wheel drive is the practical choice for city work: the central streets are tight, and a front-driven car tracks predictably through the 30 km/h zones. If you have only ever driven an automatic, the low-speed city network is a forgiving place to relearn a manual — you will rarely need more than second gear between lights.

Which Hyundai fits two people, a family or a group of nine

• Hyundai i10: 4 seats, 1.0 L petrol, 67 hp — the smallest and cheapest option on the page, best for two people and hand luggage.
• Hyundai i20 and i30: 5 seats each, 100 hp and 120 hp petrol — the i30 adds Comfort trim and a larger body over the i20.
• Hyundai Kona: 5 seats, 120 hp petrol, crossover body — the same seat count as the i30 with a higher driving position.
• Hyundai Tucson: 5 seats, 1.6 L diesel, 136 hp — an SUV body with the longest-legged diesel unit of the five-seaters.
• Hyundai Staria: 9 seats, 2.2 L diesel, 177 hp — the only van here and the only model that takes a full group in one car.

The Staria is the only diesel van on this page, so a group of nine also gets the longest range between fills. In our experience, groups of six or seven book the Staria rather than two hatchbacks — one car, one driver, one parking space.

What Hyundai car rental in Madrid costs per day, week and month

Hyundai car rental in Madrid runs from €18 to €72 a day across the six models we keep on this page, with weekly and monthly rates built from the daily one.

Daily rates by model and class

Weekly and monthly rates for a Hyundai

A week of Hyundai hire starts at €108 and a month at €378, both taken from the cheapest car on the page, the i10. The multipliers behind those numbers are fixed: weekly is daily × 6 and monthly is daily × 21, so the i20 comes out at €156 for a week and €546 for a month, the i30 at €264 and €924, the Kona at €360 and €1,260, the Staria at €420 and €1,470, the Tucson at €432 and €1,512. In our booking flow a longer stretch is worth pricing before you commit to a single day — a fortnight on the i10 is charged as two weeks, not fourteen separate days, and that difference is where the saving sits. Tell the manager your dates and we work the rate out on the model you pick.

What the price includes and what is agreed when booking

Every Hyundai we hand over carries Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil, the compulsory Spanish third-party cover that any car on a Spanish road has by law — it is part of the booking by default, not an extra you add. The law sets its minimum limits at €70,000,000 per incident for personal injury and €15,000,000 for property damage (Real Decreto Legislativo 8/2004, art. 4.2, as amended by Ley 5/2025, in force since 26.07.2025). That cover pays third parties; it does not pay for the car itself, so damage to the bodywork is where CDW and the franquicia come in. On this page we do not print a deposit figure, an excess figure or a delivery fee — those sit in the rental agreement, and the manager sets them out for you before you sign anything. Ask for the franquicia amount for your chosen class first: it decides whether the damage waiver is worth buying on top.

Hyundai car rental in Madrid for families, groups and city trips

Three shapes of trip come up again and again in our bookings here: a couple with two cabin bags in the centre, a family of five, and a group of nine heading out of town. The six Hyundais on this page cover all three without anyone paying for space they will not use.

A Hyundai for two with luggage in the city centre

The i10 is the smallest and cheapest Hyundai here, at €18 a day with 4 seats. Its 1.0-litre, 67 hp engine and compact body make it the easiest of the six to slot into a bay on Gran Vía or around Centro, where the tightest streets were laid out long before anyone measured a turning circle. The trade-off is luggage: two cabin bags fit behind the rear seats, two full-size suitcases do not. If your trip is a long weekend with hand baggage and you plan to walk most of the centre, the i10 is the honest answer. If you are collecting anyone from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport with hold luggage, size up to the i20 at €26 — same Economy class, 100 hp, but a boot that swallows two large cases.

A family Hyundai with five seats and a child seat

Four of the six Hyundais seat five: the i20, the i30, the Kona and the Tucson. Child restraints are compulsory in Spain for anyone 135 cm and under, and the driver carries the €200 fine and 4 points if a child travels without one — so tell us the ages when you book and the seat is arranged with the car. For a family that stays inside the M-30 ring, the i30 at €44 is the sensible middle: 120 hp, a 5-door body, and enough rear legroom for two growing children. The Kona at €60 adds a crossover ride height and a higher boot floor, which matters if you are lifting a toddler in and out several times a day. The Tucson at €72 brings a 1.6-litre diesel and 136 hp — the pick if your week includes Sierra de Guadarrama or a run to Toledo.

A nine-seat Hyundai for a group

• Hyundai Staria: the only 9-seat vehicle on this page, €70 a day, with a 2.2-litre diesel and 177 hp.
• Fuel range: as the only diesel van among the six, it goes furthest between fills — useful on a long transfer day.
• Boot with nine up: a 9-seat van carries nine people and very little else; plan a second vehicle or a roof bag if everyone travels with a full case.
• Manual gearbox: the Staria is a manual like every other Hyundai here, so the driver should be comfortable with a 5-metre van in traffic.
• City driving: at that length, the M-30 and the wider radial roads are easier than the tightest streets in the centre.

Driving a rented Hyundai into Madrid's low-emission zone

ZBE Madrid (Zona de Bajas Emisiones de Madrid) covers every urban street of the municipality — all 21 districts. A car without a DGT environmental sticker, category A, cannot enter: that means petrol cars registered before 2000 and diesels before 2005.

What the ZBE Madrid sticker rules mean for a Hyundai

• Etiqueta B: petrol Hyundais from 2000 and diesels from 2006 — allowed in, with the standard restrictions on the oldest of them.
• Etiqueta C: petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2014 — the category most modern Hyundais fall into.
• Etiqueta ECO: hybrids and plug-in hybrids — better parking terms than B or C.
• Etiqueta 0 emisiones (blue): battery electric, range-extended and hydrogen cars — the free pass.
• No sticker at all: you are category A, and the zone is closed to you.

Our six Hyundais here are petrol and diesel, so they carry B or C rather than ECO or 0 emisiones. Which sticker a given car has is confirmed with the manager when the booking is agreed — we do not guess it from the engine size.

Foreign plates and the Ordenanza 2/2026

Cars with foreign plates have no DGT sticker and must be registered in advance. Since the Ordenanza 2/2026 of 24.03.2026, transitional provision seven, a specific regime has applied from 00:00 on 07.04.2026. If you are arriving on your own plates, register the car before the trip — that is the part travellers most often leave until the morning of arrival, and it is the part that cannot be fixed at the barrier.

Practical consequences of driving a Hyundai inside the zone

• SER zona azul: maximum stay 4 hours; the i10 and i20 fit the bays most easily.
• SER zona verde: maximum stay 2 hours.
• Parking hours: weekdays 09:00–21:00, Saturday 09:00–15:00.
• Resident permits: a 0 emisiones or ECO sticker takes 75% off.
• Speed: 30 km/h on a street with one lane each way, 20 km/h where road and pavement form one platform.

In our experience the sticker question comes up before anything else, and it is settled in one message if you ask early.

Documents and rules for Hyundai car rental in Madrid

Spanish law is straightforward on the paperwork. EU and EEA licences — including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway — are valid in Spain as they are, for as long as they have not expired, and no international permit is needed alongside them. A licence from outside the EEA is valid for driving as a visitor; anyone who takes up ordinary residence in Spain may use it for six months from the date that residence is granted, after which it must be exchanged. The DGT recommends getting an international driving permit before the trip, but it is a supplementary document: it is shown only together with the passport and the national licence, and it is valid for one year.

What to prepare before the car reaches you

• Licence in a non-Latin script: Cyrillic, Arabic and character-based licences are valid in Spain only if they are written in Spanish, carry an official translation, or follow the model of Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention — in practice an international permit or a certified translation.
• Identity document: the original, in the name of the main driver.
• Credit card: a card in the name of the main driver, for the preauthorisation held against the car.
• Age and experience: driving in Spain is allowed from 18 for category B; the minimum rental age and any young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking, as is the deposit and the excess.

Insurance on every Hyundai here

Compulsory cover is included in the rental by Spanish law and applies at all times, even if the person at the wheel was not named in the agreement. It covers injury and damage to third parties, not the driver and not the car itself: the statutory limits are €70,000,000 per incident for personal injury, however many people are hurt, and €15,000,000 per incident for property damage. That cover sits under Real Decreto Legislativo 8/2004, article 4.2 as amended by Ley 5/2025, with those sums in force since 26.07.2025. Driving without it carries a penalty of €601–€3005 depending on the circumstances. Damage to the car itself is a separate matter — collision damage waiver, theft protection and any buy-out of the excess are options, and their cost is set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted here.

Speed, alcohol and the fines that follow

City limits are the ones that matter most with a Hyundai car rental in Madrid: 30 km/h on a street with one lane in each direction, 20 km/h where road and pavement form a single platform, and 50 km/h where two or more lanes run in the same direction, with bus lanes left out of the count. On an autopista or autovía the limit is 120 km/h, and 90 km/h on an ordinary country road. Alcohol limits are 0.25 mg/l of breath for most drivers and 0.15 mg/l for those in their first two years and for professionals; above 0.60 mg/l it stops being an administrative matter. A phone held in the hand is 200 EUR and six points, and a child under 135 cm needs a child restraint — the driver carries that responsibility. Paying a fine within 20 calendar days halves it.

Taking a Hyundai car rental in Madrid beyond the city

Six Hyundais on this page all sit in the same place, and the road out of the city is where the differences between them start to matter. Engine size, fuel type and seat count decide how a day trip to Toledo or a run up to the Sierra de Guadarrama actually feels. What none of them changes is the paperwork: the agreement stays the one you settle with a manager before you drive off.

What the engine and fuel type mean on a long drive

• Hyundai i10 and i20: 1.0 L petrol engines with 67 hp and 100 hp, the lightest choice for a short motorway hop.
• Hyundai i30 and Kona: 1.0 L petrol at 120 hp, enough for the A-6 climb towards the Sierra de Guadarrama.
• Hyundai Tucson: 1.6 L diesel at 136 hp, the strongest car here for a full day out of the city.
• Hyundai Staria: 2.2 L diesel at 177 hp with 9 seats, the only van on the page and the one that carries a whole group.
• Fuel: petrol and diesel are both sold as gasolina 95 and gasóleo A at Spanish filling stations.

Tolls, low-emission rules and where the car may go

The ring roads M-30, M-40, M-45 and M-50 and the radial motorways A-1 to A-6 carry no toll, while the R-2, R-3 and R-4 radial roads are paid. ZBE Madrid covers every street of the municipality across all 21 districts, and a car without a DGT environmental sticker — category A, petrol registered before 2000 and diesel before 2005 — cannot enter it. Foreign plates have no DGT sticker at all and must be registered in advance. The territory a car may be driven in is agreed when booking, so if a trip outside the province is on your list, raise it with the manager before the agreement is drawn up.

Which Hyundai suits a day trip out of the city

The Tucson at €72 a day and the Staria at €70 a day are the two cars here built for distance rather than for parking. Between them they cover the two shapes a long day out usually takes — five seats with luggage, or nine seats with people. The i10 at €18 a day stays the sensible pick if the trip is short and the return is the same evening. Whichever you take, fuel is settled on the agreed level when the car comes back, and that level is written into the agreement rather than assumed.

Parking, fuel and tolls with a Hyundai car rental in Madrid

Parking and fuel are the two running costs that decide whether a self-drive car makes sense for your trip. The city splits its kerbside parking into paid zones, prices petrol by the litre, and charges nothing on the ring roads but a fee on three radial motorways.

Where you can leave a Hyundai

• SER zona azul (blue): paid kerbside parking with a maximum stay of 4 hours, charged on weekdays from 09:00 to 21:00 and on Saturdays from 09:00 to 15:00.
• SER zona verde (green): the resident-priority zone, capped at 2 hours and priced above blue.
• Distintivo ambiental 0 emisiones: the blue DGT sticker brings a 75% discount on resident season tickets, but the Hyundais on this page are petrol and diesel, not zero-emission.
• ECO sticker: carries the same 75% reduction on resident season tickets under the current rules.

All six Hyundais here run on petrol or diesel, so none of them qualifies for the zero-emission badge or the free-parking treatment that comes with it. If a parking bay is what decides your model choice, the i10 at €18 a day is the shortest car on the page and the easiest to slot into a blue bay before the four hours run out.

Filling up a Hyundai: petrol, diesel and the price per litre

Gasolina 95 E5 averaged €1.971 a litre across 231 filling stations, with a median of €2.009 and a range from €1.789 to €2.086. The i10, i20, i30 and Kona take petrol; the Staria van and the Tucson SUV run on gasóleo A, the diesel grade Spanish forecourts label on the pump. Fuel policy, the level agreed on collection and the level expected on return are settled when you book — we do not fix a figure for that here.

Tolls on the way out of the city

The ring roads M-30, M-40, M-45 and M-50 and the radial motorways A-1 to A-6 cost nothing to drive. The tolled roads are the R-2, R-3 and R-4 radial motorways, which charge per journey and are the fastest way to clear the city when the M-40 is heavy. In our experience, the R-4 only pays off on the run south towards Toledo or Aranjuez — on a short hop to Las Rozas or Pozuelo de Alarcón the free A-6 is quicker door to door.

What to settle before you set off

• Fuel level: agree the collection and return level when booking, and keep the last filling receipt.
• Unpaid toll and parking fines: under Spanish rules the registered keeper or the renter answers for them until the driver is identified.
• Parking permits: resident discounts and stickers are not transferable to a rental car.
• Delivery: we bring the Hyundai to you, and the meeting point is agreed with the manager.

Ask about the fuel policy and the return level before the car reaches you — a mismatch at hand-over is the one cost on this list that is easy to avoid.

What to settle before your Hyundai car rental in Madrid

Two things decide how a Hyundai booking actually runs: the paperwork you bring and the terms you agree with a manager before the keys change hands. Neither is a formality — the licence you hold, the class you pick and the way you plan to return the car all shape the final cost.

Documents and the licence question

• EU/EEA licence: fully valid in Spain while it is in date; no international permit is needed for it.
• Non-EU licence: valid for driving as a visitor; anyone who takes up residence in Spain may use it for six months from the date residence is granted, then must exchange it.
• Non-Latin script: a third-country licence is accepted only if it is written in Spanish, carries an official translation, or follows the Geneva or Vienna convention models — in practice that means an IDP or a certified translation.
• International Driving Permit: never stands alone; it is shown together with your national licence and passport, and runs for one year.
• Identity document: the original, in the name of the main driver.

What we agree with you before the booking is confirmed

The daily rate covers the car and the compulsory Spanish third-party cover, Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil. Everything else is set out in the rental agreement: the deposit held on the card, the excess you carry for damage, the delivery fee and any discount. We do not print those figures here because they depend on the class and the dates — ask the manager and they will be listed for you before you commit.

The practical points worth checking

Mid-size Hyundais sit in the middle of our price band, so a week at daily × 6 or a month at daily × 21 is worth pricing before you settle on a single day. Confirm your return time and the fuel level you are expected to hand back, and check the agreement for the excess figure rather than assuming it. If you plan to leave the city, say so when booking — the permitted territory is a term of the agreement, not a given. One last thing: the licence you present must be the one you will drive on, and any second driver is agreed when booking.
