Minivans car rental in Madrid

From €42 per day, Rent-Trip offers minivans car rental in Madrid with 18 cars in the fleet, from 5-seat MPVs to 7-seat models with diesel or hybrid engines and automatic or manual transmission. We deliver the car to you in Madrid, and the booking is agreed with a manager.

What minivans car rental in Madrid costs per day and per week

Our minivans car rental in Madrid runs from €42 to €82 per day across 18 self-drive MPVs. A week costs the daily rate × 6, from €252; a month costs the daily rate × 21, from €882. Here is what each band of the fleet costs and why the price climbs.

Daily rates across the minivan class

Our minivans car rental in Madrid starts at €42 per day and runs to €82 per day across 18 cars. The entry point is the 5-seat Ford C-Max with a 1.5 L diesel and manual gearbox; the 7-seat Nissan NV200 sits at €48, and the top of the range is the 7-seat Seat Tarraco at €82 with a 2.0 L diesel and automatic transmission. The cheapest 7-seater is the Nissan NV200 at €48/day — a 5-seat Ford C-Max at €42 saves €6 but loses two seats.

Weekly and monthly minivan rates

A week of minivan hire costs the daily rate × 6, from €252; a month costs the daily rate × 21, from €882. That arithmetic holds across the whole class, so a Ford C-Max at €42 per day is €252 for the week and €882 for the month, while the Seat Tarraco at €82 per day is €492 for the week and €1,722 for the month. Longer bookings suit travellers who keep the car parked between trips — the rate is set per day, not per kilometre driven.

Prices by model in the minivan fleet

In our fleet the hybrid Toyota Prius+ at €58 is the one model that undercuts several diesel automatics while still seating seven — worth a look if your routes are short and stop-start.

Choosing between 5-seat and 7-seat minivans for hire in Madrid

The choice comes down to how many people travel and how much luggage goes with them. Five seats cover couples and small groups; seven seats cover families of six and airport runs with bags. Both sizes sit in the same fleet, and both are self-drive.

How many people fit in a 5-seat or 7-seat minivan

Seven-seat versions — the Nissan NV200, Dacia Lodgy, Opel Zafira, Renault Grand Scenic, Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, Toyota Prius+, Peugeot Rifter, Volkswagen Sharan, Ford Galaxy, Ford S-Max, BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, Volkswagen Touran, Peugeot 5008, Volkswagen Caddy Maxi and Seat Tarraco — add a third row.

5-seat minivans for couples and small groups

The 5-seat Ford C-Max and Citroen C4 Picasso start at €42 and €46 per day. If a fifth passenger joins for one leg of the trip, a 7-seater is the safer booking — the third row is there when it is needed and folded when it is not.

Matching seats to the trip

Pick the seat count first, then the gearbox and engine to match the roads you plan to drive.

Minivan models available for rental in Madrid and what each one suits

Eighteen MPVs sit in this class, from a five-seat Ford C-Max at €42 per day to a seven-seat Seat Tarraco at €82. Every model below is a self-drive hire with delivery to you — the exact car is confirmed against the agreed booking.

Five-seat MPVs in the fleet

• Ford C-Max: 1.5 L diesel, 120 hp, manual, front-wheel drive, €42 per day — the entry point of the class.
• Citroen C4 Picasso: 1.5 L diesel, 130 hp, automatic, front-wheel drive, €46 per day — the cheapest automatic here.

Seven-seat minivans from €48 to €82

• Nissan NV200: 1.5 L diesel, 110 hp, manual, €48 per day — the cheapest way to seat seven.
• Opel Zafira: 1.6 L diesel, 136 hp, manual, €52 per day — more power for a loaded car.
• Renault Grand Scenic: 1.5 L diesel, 120 hp, automatic, €54 per day.
• Citroen C4 Grand Picasso: 1.5 L diesel, 130 hp, automatic, €56 per day.
• Toyota Prius+: 1.8 L hybrid, 136 hp, automatic, €58 per day — the only hybrid in the class.
• Peugeot Rifter: 1.5 L diesel, 130 hp, manual, €60 per day.
• Volkswagen Sharan: 2.0 L diesel, 150 hp, automatic, €62 per day.
• Ford Galaxy: 2.0 L diesel, 150 hp, automatic, €64 per day.
• Ford S-Max: 2.0 L diesel, 150 hp, automatic, €66 per day.
• BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer: 2.0 L diesel, 150 hp, automatic, €70 per day.
• Volkswagen Touran: 2.0 L diesel, 150 hp, automatic, €74 per day.
• Peugeot 5008: 1.5 L diesel, 130 hp, automatic, €78 per day.
• Volkswagen Caddy Maxi: 2.0 L diesel, 122 hp, manual, €80 per day.
• Seat Tarraco: 2.0 L diesel, 150 hp, automatic, front-wheel drive, €82 per day — the top of the range.

What the numbers say about picking a model

Automatic transmission is what separates most of the mid-range from the entry models. If the plan includes the Sierra de Guadarrama passes with seven people aboard, take the 150 hp group; for the M-30 ring and the centre, a €48 NV200 does the same job for €34 a day less than the Tarraco.

Automatic or manual minivan hire in Madrid for city driving

Transmission choice shapes how a minivan behaves in stop-start traffic and on the climbs out toward the Sierra. Our 18 MPVs split between automatic and manual, and the difference in daily rate between the two is often smaller than drivers expect.

Automatic minivans in the fleet

• Citroen C4 Picasso: 5 seats, 1.5 L diesel, 130 hp, automatic, €46 per day — the cheapest automatic minivan we hold.
• Renault Scenic: 5 seats, 1.5 L diesel, 120 hp, automatic, €48 per day.
• Renault Grand Scenic: 7 seats, 1.5 L diesel, 120 hp, automatic, €54 per day.
• Citroen C4 Grand Picasso: 7 seats, 1.5 L diesel, 130 hp, automatic, €56 per day.
• Toyota Prius+: 7 seats, 1.8 L hybrid, 136 hp, automatic, €58 per day — the only hybrid in the class.
• Volkswagen Sharan, Ford Galaxy, Ford S-Max, BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer: 7 seats, 2.0 L diesel, 150 hp, automatic, from €62 to €70 per day.

Manual minivans and where they earn their keep

• Ford C-Max: 5 seats, 1.5 L diesel, 120 hp, manual, €42 per day — the entry point of the whole class.
• Nissan NV200: 7 seats, 1.5 L diesel, 110 hp, manual, €48 per day — the cheapest seven-seater on the page.
• Dacia Lodgy and Opel Zafira: 7 seats, 1.5 L and 1.6 L diesel, 115 hp and 136 hp, manual, €50 and €52 per day.
• Peugeot Rifter and Volkswagen Caddy Maxi: 7 seats, 1.5 L and 2.0 L diesel, 130 hp and 122 hp, manual, €60 and €80 per day.

A manual gearbox is the cheaper half of the fleet, but it is not the harder one to drive here. Spanish fleets are built around manual cars, so the manual minivans sit at the lower end of the price ladder — the Ford C-Max at €42/day undercuts the cheapest automatic by €4. On the M-30 ring and the radial autovías A-1 to A-6, both transmissions handle the same 120 km/h motorway limit and the same 30 km/h default on single-lane city streets, so the choice comes down to your own left foot rather than to the road.

The 2.0 L automatic seven-seaters — Volkswagen Sharan, Ford Galaxy, Ford S-Max and BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer — all run 150 hp and start at €62/day, while the 1.5 L automatic Citroen C4 Picasso at €46/day covers five people for €16 less. If the trip stays inside the city and the Sierra de Guadarrama is not on the plan, the smaller automatic does the same job on the same streets. Tell the manager your preferred gearbox when booking, and we match the car to it before delivery — the transmission is fixed to the model, so it cannot be swapped at hand-over.

Minivans car rental in Madrid for families and groups of six

Six people plus luggage is the case our 7-seat minivans were chosen for. In our local fleet the 7-seaters run from €48 to €82 per day, and the question is never whether a minivan fits six — it is which one.

Which 7-seaters suit six people best

• Renault Grand Scenic: 7 seats, automatic, 1.5 L and 120 hp at €54 per day — the cheapest automatic 7-seater we have.
• Toyota Prius+: the only hybrid 7-seater in the fleet, 1.8 L and 136 hp at €58 per day, automatic.
• Seat Tarraco: 7 seats, automatic, 2.0 L and 150 hp at €82 per day, the top of the fleet.

Driving a rented minivan in Madrid and the low-emission zone

Madrid drives on the right, so a minivan hire here feels familiar to most visitors from the first kilometre.

The ZBE low-emission zone

ZBE Madrid (Zona de Bajas Emisiones de Madrid) covers all urban streets of the municipality — all 21 districts. Cars without a DGT environmental sticker (category A) are the ones barred: petrol vehicles registered before 2000 and diesel before 2005. Since 00:00 on 07.04.2026 the transitional regime has been set by Ordenanza 2/2026 of 24.03.2026, new transitional provision seven. Our minivans are delivered with the paperwork agreed at booking, so ask the manager which sticker the car you receive carries before you drive it into the centre.

Speed limits and fines that apply to a minivan

• Motorway (autopista / autovía): 120 km/h is the limit for passenger cars, motorcycles and motorhomes up to 3,500 kg.
• Ordinary interurban road (vía convencional): 90 km/h, though the road authority may raise it to 100 km/h.
• City street, one lane each way: 30 km/h; streets with a single platform shared by carriageway and pavement are 20 km/h, and two or more lanes in one direction allow 50 km/h.
• Speeding fines on a 30 km/h street: 31–50 km/h costs 100 EUR with no points; 51–60 km/h costs 300 EUR and 2 points; 61–70 km/h costs 400 EUR and 4 points; 71–80 km/h costs 500 EUR and 6 points; above 81 km/h it is 600 EUR and 6 points.
• Phone in hand: 200 EUR, and 6 points if you were holding it.
• Seat belt or child seat (SRI): 200 EUR and 4 points. Child restraints are compulsory for anyone 135 cm or shorter; DGT recommends them up to 150 cm.
• Alcohol: the general limit is 0.25 mg/l of breath, or 0.15 mg/l for drivers in their first two years and professionals. A fine runs 500–1000 EUR with 4–6 points, and above 0.60 mg/l it becomes a criminal offence.

Parking a seven-seater in the centre

SER zona azul (blue) allows a maximum of 4 hours, SER zona verde (green) 2 hours. Charging hours are 09:00–21:00 on weekdays and 09:00–15:00 on Saturday. Holders of the 0 emisiones sticker park free, and the ECO sticker gives a 75% discount, including on resident permits. The ring roads M-30, M-40, M-45 and M-50 and the radial motorways A-1 to A-6 carry no toll; the radial R-2, R-3 and R-4 are paid. A minivan at €42–€82 per day is not the cheapest way to move one person around, but for a group splitting the bill it works out well — and the car stays yours for the whole booking.

Day trips from Madrid in a rented minivan

Fuel, tolls and parking on the way out

Fuel is the one cost that scales with the trip, and it is worth planning before you leave. Blue-zone parking runs a maximum of four hours and is enforced from 09:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and 09:00 to 15:00 on Saturdays.

Keeping the minivan compliant while you travel

Every minivan in our 18-car fleet is registered for use in the city, and the low-emission rules follow you to the car park at the end of the day. The ZBE Madrid covers all 21 districts of the municipality, so a car without a DGT environmental label cannot enter at all — petrol vehicles registered before 2000 and diesels before 2005 fall into that category. If you plan a mountain day in the Sierra de Guadarrama in winter, DGT restricts vehicles without winter tyres or chains on specific roads, signposted road by road when snow affects traffic. Chains and winter tyres are not a permanent requirement in Spain; the restriction appears only where the signs and overhead boards announce it.

Booking a minivan with Minivans car rental in Madrid

We agree the booking with a manager before the car is handed over, and the car is delivered to you. That is the whole shape of it. What you settle in that conversation is the model, the dates, and the conditions of the agreement — everything else follows from those three.

What we need from you when you book

• Dates and duration: tell us the pick-up and return days, and whether the booking runs by the day, by the week or by the month.
• Model or budget: name the model you want or give us your daily ceiling — the fleet runs from €42 to €82 per day.
• Seats and luggage: say how many of you are travelling and whether you need all seven seats up or will fold the third row.
• Transmission and fuel: automatic or manual, Diesel or Hybrid — the choice is yours to state, not ours to guess.
• Delivery point: the address where you want the car brought, agreed with the manager when you book.
• Driver details: who will be the main driver, and whether anyone else needs to be added to the agreement.

The agreement and what it sets out

Spain requires every car on the road to carry Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil, with minimum limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR for property damage under Real Decreto Legislativo 8/2004, article 4.2 as amended by Ley 5/2025, in force since 26.07.2025. Collision damage cover and the franquicia — the excess you carry yourself — are set out in the agreement, and the amount is confirmed before you sign.

Driving in Madrid: what to sort before you leave

ZBE Madrid (Zona de Bajas Emisiones de Madrid) covers every street in all 21 districts of the municipality, and vehicles without a DGT environmental sticker — category A, petrol registered before 2000 and diesel before 2005 — cannot enter. Ordenanza 2/2026 of 24.03.2026, new transitional provision seven, applies from 00:00 on 07.04.2026. Tell us at booking if your route starts at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport or Madrid Puerta de Atocha–Almudena Grandes, so the model we agree on carries the right sticker.

Before you confirm

• Documents for the driver: which licence and identity documents are accepted is agreed when booking, and the details are set out in the rental agreement.
