Renault car rental in Madrid

A week of tapas crawls, Prado mornings and day trips out to Toledo — and the car you want waiting for you is a Renault. Rent-Trip has 7 Renault cars available for Madrid, from €25 to €64 per day, with weekly from €150 and monthly from €525. Choose your model, and we deliver the car to the address you agree with our manager when booking.

Which Renault fits your Madrid car rental trip

Seven Renault models sit in our Madrid fleet, spread across six classes and three seat counts. Picking one comes down to how many people travel, what they carry and which fuel suits the route — not to how much you want to spend.

Renault line-up by seats and class

Seat count decides the class, not the price — the 9-seat Trafic Passenger at €50 a day costs less than the 5-seat Captur at €64, so book by the seats you need and let the class follow.

Is a Renault Clio big enough for a family of four

It runs a 1.0 L petrol engine with 90 hp through a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, and at €25 a day it is the cheapest model on this page.

Renault Scenic or Grand Scenic for seven seats

The Grand Scenic seats 7; the Scenic seats 5 — both are Minivans, from €48 and €54 a day. Both run the same 1.5 L diesel with 120 hp, an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive, so the only real choice is whether you need the third row. If your seventh passenger is an adult on a long run, look at the Trafic Passenger instead: 9 seats, 2.0 L diesel, 150 hp, manual, €50 a day.

Which model takes which fuel

• Petrol: the Clio and the Captur — the two to book if you would rather not think about charging or diesel pumps.
• Diesel: the Scenic, Grand Scenic, Trafic Passenger and Kadjar — the four that cover long motorway days and full loads.
• Electric: the Zoe, the only battery model in the line-up, with 135 hp and an automatic gearbox.
• Automatic gearbox: the Zoe, Scenic and Grand Scenic — the three to pick if you want to leave the clutch alone in city traffic.
• Manual gearbox: the Clio, Trafic Passenger, Kadjar and Captur — the four with a stick shift.
• Seats: 5 in the Clio, Zoe, Scenic, Kadjar and Captur; 7 in the Grand Scenic; 9 in the Trafic Passenger.

If your trip mixes a full car with a lot of motorway, the diesel automatics are the safer bet; if it is mostly short city runs, the Zoe's electric drivetrain and automatic gearbox take the strain out of stop-start traffic.

Renault car rental in Madrid prices and longer bookings

Rates for our seven Renault models run from €25 to €64 per day, and the same car gets cheaper the longer you keep it. Every booking is agreed with a manager, so the final figure — including the deposit and the excess — is confirmed before you commit.

What a day behind the wheel costs

Weekly and monthly bookings

A week starts at €150 and a month at €525 — the daily rate multiplied by six and by twenty-one. The Clio at €25 a day is the cheapest car on this page, so a week in the Economy hatchback lands at the bottom of that range, while the €64 Captur sits at the top. If you are still weighing the Zoe against the Grand Scenic, the monthly figure is the one to compare, not the daily.

Cheap options without hidden extras

The €25 Clio is the entry point to the range, and nothing in the agreement is a surprise: the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are set out in the rental agreement and confirmed when booking.

City rules for your Renault car rental in Madrid

The city restricts traffic by emissions, not by who owns the car, so the question for a rental is which DGT sticker is on the windscreen.

Can I drive a Renault car rental in Madrid city centre

Yes — ZBE Madrid (Zona de Bajas Emisiones de Madrid) covers every street of the municipality, all 21 districts, and entry depends on the environmental sticker, not on the car being rented. The Zoe carries the 0 emisiones label, which is issued to battery electric, range-extended and hydrogen vehicles, so it may enter the zone and park in the regulated bays on the same terms as a resident's electric car. Petrol cars registered before 2000 and diesels registered before 2005 have no DGT sticker at all — category A — and cannot enter. The label travels with the vehicle, so check it on the windscreen before you plan a route through Centro or along Gran Vía.

ZBE Madrid and the DGT sticker on a Renault car rental in Madrid

Ask at booking which sticker the model you have chosen carries, because the answer decides whether your route through the city centre is legal at all.

Parking a Renault car rental in Madrid

• SER zona azul (blue): the standard regulated on-street bay, maximum stay 4 hours, charged on weekdays 09:00–21:00 and Saturday 09:00–15:00.
• Parquímetro: the meter where you pay; keep the ticket on the dashboard — the plate number on it must match the car.

Speed limits and fines with a Renault car rental in Madrid

Urban streets with one lane in each direction are 30 km/h, single-platform streets where carriageway and pavement are level are 20 km/h, and streets with two or more lanes in one direction are 50 km/h; on autopista and autovía the limit is 120 km/h and on an ordinary out-of-town road 90 km/h. Bus and taxi lanes do not count when you are counting lanes. Speeding is fined on a DGT table built from the pair of posted limit and actual speed: on a 30 km/h street, 31–50 km/h costs €100 with no points, 51–60 km/h costs €300 and 2 points, 61–70 km/h costs €400 and 4 points, 71–80 km/h costs €500 and 6 points, and above 81 km/h it is €600 and 6 points. Exceeding the limit by more than 60 km/h in town or 80 km/h outside it is a criminal offence, not an administrative fine. Paying within 20 days halves the amount. Ring roads M-30, M-40, M-45 and M-50 and the radial A-1 to A-6 are free, while the R-2, R-3 and R-4 radials are tolled and use the VIA-T transponder. The 30 km/h default catches drivers who treat a narrow street as a normal road — read the sign before you accelerate.

Electric Renault Zoe on a Madrid car rental

It carries the 0 emisiones DGT sticker, so the low-emission zone that covers all 21 districts of the municipality is not a problem for it. Charging is where the real decisions sit, and they are simpler than most drivers expect.

What the Renault Zoe costs and what it replaces

At €34 a day, the Zoe undercuts both Minivans on this page and the Trafic Passenger, and it sits €9 above the entry Clio.

Charging the Zoe around the city

• Congestion charge: none — the 0 emisiones sticker means the ZBE Madrid rules do not restrict the Zoe at any hour.

Parking with the 0 emisiones sticker

The blue SER zone limits you to 4 hours and the green zone to 2, and both operate 09:00–21:00 on weekdays and 09:00–15:00 on Saturdays. If your stay is built around short hops between the Prado, Gran Vía and Retiro, the electric Zoe removes two of the three frictions of driving here — the zone and the meter. The third, finding the space, is unchanged.

Documents and licence for Renault car rental in Madrid

Spain takes EU and EEA licences as they are, so a driver from Ireland, Germany or Norway needs nothing extra. Third-country licences work for tourists, but a permit that is not written in Latin script — Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese characters — is only valid here with an official translation or an International Driving Permit. That is the one document question worth settling before you fly, and it applies to every car on the page, from the €25 Clio to the €64 Captur.

What you bring to collect a Renault car rental in Madrid

• EU and EEA licence: valid in Spain as it stands, for as long as it has not expired. No translation and no International Driving Permit are needed.
• Third-country licence: accepted for driving as a visitor. If it is not in Spanish, bring an official translation or an International Driving Permit — the DGT advises getting the IDP before the trip.
• International Driving Permit (Permiso Internacional de Conducción): valid for one year, and only ever shown alongside your national licence and passport — never on its own.

The deposit and the excess

Both are set out in the rental agreement, so read them before you sign rather than after.

Family and group Renault car rental in Madrid

Which Renault seats seven or nine

• Renault Scenic: 5 seats, same 1.5 L diesel automatic as the Grand Scenic, €48 per day.

Seat count, not price, decides which one you need: the nine-seat Trafic at €50 sits below the five-seat Captur at €64, so a large family pays less per day than a couple who want the top of the range.

Child seats and the Spanish rule

Child restraints are compulsory in Spain for anyone 135 cm or shorter, and DGT recommends them up to 150 cm — the driver carries the fine of €200 and 4 points if a child travels without one.

Luggage and the 9-seat Trafic

We deliver the car to you, and the seats, the luggage and the drop-off are all agreed with a manager when you book.

What is agreed when you book Renault car rental in Madrid

Every booking for a Renault is agreed with a manager — nothing is confirmed automatically, and no car is released until the details are settled between you and us. That covers the model, the dates, the hand-over, and the paperwork that sits behind the daily rate.

What we confirm before the car is released

• Model and class: you name the Renault you want — Clio, Zoe, Scenic, Grand Scenic, Trafic Passenger, Kadjar or Captur — and we confirm it against the seven cars on this page.
• Dates and duration: the daily rate runs from €25 to €64, a week starts at €150 and a month at €525, always calculated as daily rate × 6 and × 21.
• Hand-over: where and when the car reaches you is agreed with the manager during the booking, not picked from a fixed list.
• Deposit and excess: the deposit and the franquicia are set out in the rental agreement — we do not quote either as a number before the agreement is drawn up.
• Delivery: if a delivery fee applies, it is stated in the rental agreement alongside the rest of the terms.

The terms that live in the agreement, not in this text

The rental agreement is the document that carries the figures a page like this cannot: the deposit amount, the insurance excess, any delivery charge and any discount. Spanish consumer rules require the advertised price to include the compulsory charges you cannot drive without, and they require every scratch and dent to be written into the contract or the inspection sheet before you leave, signed by both sides, with a copy for you. That is the moment to look at the car properly — once you have driven away, damage found later is argued about, not discussed.

The compulsory third-party cover is not one of them — every car legally on a Spanish road carries it, 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.

If the Renault you booked is not the one you get

If the model you reserved is unavailable, you are entitled to another car at no extra cost, including one from a higher class. If the substitute sits below what you booked, the price comes down. And if the car does not match the agreed conditions — an automatic where you booked an automatic, the seat count you need — the booking can be cancelled and the prepayment returned.

Practical tips for Renault car rental in Madrid

Seven Renault models, six classes, one page: the line-up runs from the €25 Clio to the €64 Captur, with the electric Zoe at €34, the two Minivans at €48 and €54, the 9-seat Trafic Passenger at €50 and the Kadjar at €62. Weekly bookings start at €150 and monthly at €525, calculated as the daily rate × 6 and × 21. Nothing on this page is a quotation you have to accept as written — the deposit, the excess, the fuel level on return and any extras are set out in the rental agreement, and every booking is agreed with a manager before the car is handed over.

What actually decides your choice is narrower than the price list suggests:

• Seats first: 5, 7 and 9 are the only numbers that matter if you are travelling with family or luggage — the Clio, Zoe, Scenic, Kadjar and Captur take 5, the Grand Scenic takes 7, the Trafic Passenger takes 9.
• Fuel second: Diesel covers the Scenic, Grand Scenic, Trafic Passenger and Kadjar; Petrol covers the Clio and Captur; Electric is the Zoe alone.
• Gearbox third: Automatic comes with the Zoe, Scenic and Grand Scenic; the Clio, Trafic Passenger, Kadjar and Captur are Manual.
• The city rule that outranks all three: ZBE Madrid covers all 21 districts, and entry turns on the DGT sticker, not on the class you booked.
• Distance last: Sierra de Guadarrama, Toledo and Segovia sit outside the city limits, so a diesel MPV or the 9-seat van earns its rate on those runs.

For a couple or a family of four, the Clio at €25 does the job and leaves the budget for fuel. For seven or nine people, the Grand Scenic and the Trafic Passenger are the only two answers on the page. For everything in between — a Zoe for short city hops, a Kadjar for a week that mixes motorway and mountain road — the choice comes down to seats, fuel and gearbox, in that order.
