Weekly car rental

Planning a week of driving in Madrid and wondering what a weekly car rental actually costs? We deliver the car to you in Madrid, and the booking is agreed with a manager.

What a week of weekly car rental in Madrid costs

Weekly car rental in Madrid with Rent-Trip starts from €84 — the daily rate × 6 — while daily rates on this page run from €14 to €41. Those are the only two multipliers we apply to a longer booking: × 6 for a week, × 21 for a month.

How the weekly rate is built from the daily rate

Weekly car rental in Madrid with Rent-Trip starts from €84 — the daily rate × 6 — and the daily rates on this page run from €14 to €41. The multiplier is applied to the rate of the car you pick, not to an average across the fleet, so a week in an Economy hatchback and a week in the Comfort Mini One sit exactly as far apart as their day rates do. Twenty-four cars are listed here, and every one of them can be booked by the week: Smart Fortwo at €14 a day, Peugeot 108 at €17, Kia Picanto at €19, Renault Clio at €25, Opel Corsa at €27, up to the Mini One at €41.

Weekly and monthly rates by class

Why a week is not seven separate days

A week with us is priced as the daily rate × 6, and a month as × 21 — the only multipliers we use on a longer booking. Nothing here is expressed as a percentage, a share or a free day: the arithmetic is the daily rate of your chosen car multiplied by six, and the answer is the week. Because the multiplier sits on the car rather than on the calendar, a cheaper class stays cheaper for the whole booking — a week of Renault Clio at €25 a day comes to €150, while a week of Peugeot e-208 at €35 a day comes to €210. Pick the class first, then the length; the other way round you end up recalculating twice.

What the deposit and the excess are

The deposit and the insurance excess are not fixed figures on this page — both are set out in the rental agreement you agree when booking.

• Deposit amount: the figure is confirmed before you sign, not published as a flat number on the site.
• Delivery fee: if there is one for your address, it is agreed when you book.
• Booking window: the dates, the hand-over and the return are settled with a manager.

Ask the manager to read the deposit and the excess out before you confirm — it takes a minute and saves a surprise at hand-over.

Choosing your weekly car rental in Madrid by class and model

Twenty-four cars sit on this page, and eighteen of them are Economy. The week you book is decided by three things long before the price: how many seats you need, what fuel the car takes, and whether the gearbox is manual or automatic.

Economy cars for a week in the city

Power sits between 67 hp on the Hyundai i10 and 100 hp on the Hyundai i20, Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208 and Ford Fiesta.

Automatic and electric cars for the week

Automatic transmission on this page comes only with the four electric cars: Citroen e-C3, Fiat 500e, Renault Zoe and Peugeot e-208, from €30 a day. The one convertible, the Fiat 500C, is manual and petrol at €30 a day, and the single Comfort car, the Mini One, is manual and petrol at €41.

Weekly rates by class

The weekly figure is the daily rate × 6, so the gap between Economy and Electric is €96 a week, and the jump from Economy to the Mini One is €162. Pick the class before you count the week — the multiplier just follows whichever car you chose.

How weekly car rental in Madrid works with delivery and a manager

Weekly car rental in Madrid with Rent-Trip is built around two things: the car comes to you, and every booking is agreed with a manager rather than dropped into a checkout basket.

What happens between your request and the keys

• Your request: you tell us the dates, the class and where you want the car — the rest is settled in the conversation, not in a form.
• The manager's reply: we confirm the model, the weekly rate (daily rate × 6) and what the rental agreement will contain before anything is fixed.
• Delivery: the car is brought to the place you agree with the manager, and the details of the hand-over are agreed when booking.

Why a manager instead of a self-service checkout

A week is long enough for the small print to matter. The terms of the rental agreement are not printed on this page — a manager tells you what they are before you sign anything. The same goes for the minimum age, the young-driver surcharge and which cards are accepted: these are agreed when booking, not published as a house rule. On a weekly booking the multiplier never changes: daily rate × 6, and monthly at × 21.

Weekly car rental in Madrid and the ZBE low-emission zone

The low-emission zone is not a small ring around the old town — it covers every urban street in the municipality, all 21 districts. So before you book a week, it is worth knowing which of our 24 cars can legally drive where.

Which cars carry a DGT sticker

• 0 emisiones (blue sticker): battery-electric, extended-range electric and hydrogen cars — the cleanest DGT category.
• Category A: petrol cars registered before 2000 and diesel before 2005 — no sticker, and the vehicles the ZBE rules target.

What this means for our fleet

Four of the 24 cars on this page are electric and automatic — Citroen e-C3, Fiat 500e, Renault Zoe and Peugeot e-208, from €30 a day, or €180 for a week at the daily rate × 6. Those four sit in the 0 emisiones bracket, which is the simplest way to stop thinking about the zone entirely. The Fiat Pandina is the only hybrid here: Economy class, five seats, €23 a day, €138 a week, and it qualifies for an ECO sticker. The remaining 19 cars are petrol, which is fine as long as they carry a C or B sticker — none of them is old enough to fall into category A.

Stickers, registration and the parking upside

Cars on Spanish plates already carry their DGT sticker on the windscreen, so nothing needs ordering before you collect. If the sticker question matters to your itinerary, raise it when you book: the manager confirms it together with the car and the hand-over.

Documents and rules for weekly car rental in Madrid

Spain's driving rules apply to every car on this page, and the paperwork side of a weekly booking is agreed with a manager rather than fixed by a counter script. Below is what the law actually requires, what belongs in the rental agreement, and what we confirm before you drive away.

Licence, passport and card: what the law says

Driving in Spain is allowed from 18 for category B. A licence from the EU or EEA stays valid here until its expiry date, with no extra document needed. A third-country licence works for a visitor as long as it is in force and the holder meets the Spanish age requirement for the equivalent category; anyone who takes up ordinary residence in Spain may use it for no more than six months, after which it must be exchanged. If your licence is not in Spanish, it is accepted either with an official certified translation or when it follows the model in Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention — which is why DGT advises getting an International Driving Permit before the trip. The permit itself is never valid alone: it is shown together with your passport and your national licence, and it runs for one year.

What is set out in the rental agreement

• Inspection before departure: every scratch and dent goes into the agreement or the inspection sheet before you leave, both sides sign it, and you keep a copy.
• Substitute car: if the booked model is unavailable you may ask for another without paying more, and a lower class means a lower price.

Rules that carry fines

Speed limits run at 120 km/h on autopista and autovía, 90 km/h on a conventional road, 30 km/h on a city street with one lane each way, 20 km/h where the carriageway and pavement form a single platform, and 50 km/h where there are two or more lanes in one direction. Exceeding the limit costs between 100 EUR and 600 EUR with up to six points, and going more than 60 km/h over the limit in town turns the matter criminal. The alcohol limit is 0.25 mg/l of breath, dropping to 0.15 mg/l for drivers in their first two years; above 0.60 mg/l it is a criminal offence. Holding a phone costs 200 EUR and six points, and an unrestrained child costs 200 EUR and four points — child seats are required for anyone 135 cm or shorter. Fines carry a 50% discount if paid within 20 days.

Long stays and day trips with weekly car rental in Madrid

A week is long enough to leave the city and still keep a base in it. Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Aranjuez and Chinchón, Sierra de Guadarrama and Alcalá de Henares all sit within day-trip range, and with a car held for the full seven days you decide on the morning whether to go.

Day trips that fit inside a week

• Toledo: 70–75 km south-west via the A-42 or the AP-41, roughly an hour each way on the motorway.
• Ávila: just over 110 km along the A-6, an hour and a half each way, comfortable as a single day.
• Sierra de Guadarrama: 60 km north on the A-6, an hour to the passes and the walking country.
• Alcalá de Henares: 35 km east on the A-2, half an hour, the easiest half-day out of the city.

What a week of driving adds up to

Rent-Trip prices a longer booking on the daily rate of the car you pick: weekly is the daily rate x 6 and monthly is the daily rate x 21, so a week on an Economy car from €14 a day lands at €84 and a month at €294. Those two multipliers are the whole of it — we do not apply any other.

Parking, tolls and the ZBE on a longer stay

The rings M-30, M-40, M-45 and M-50 and the radial motorways A-1 to A-6 carry no charge, while the radial R-2, R-3 and R-4 are paid, as is the AP-6 toward Segovia. Inside the city, SER zona azul caps a stay at 4 hours and zona verde at 2, and both run 09:00–21:00 on weekdays and 09:00–15:00 on Saturdays. ZBE Madrid covers every street of all 21 districts, so a car without a DGT environmental sticker (category A — petrol registered before 2000 and diesel before 2005) cannot enter at all. Ask about the sticker before you commit to a model, not after.

When a week turns into a month

Reserve the class you want early and confirm the dates with a manager.

What is agreed when you book weekly car rental in Madrid

A weekly booking with Rent-Trip is agreed with a manager, not confirmed instantly on a screen. You tell us the dates, the class and where you want the car handed over, and we come back with the exact terms in writing — the rate, the deposit and the excess, the fuel policy and the delivery arrangement. Nothing is final until you have seen those terms and said yes to them.

What we need from you before the rate is fixed

• Dates and duration: the pick-up day, the return day and the number of days, so we can apply the weekly rate as the daily rate × 6 rather than a run of separate days.
• Class or model: the class you want from the 24 cars on this page, or a specific model if you have one in mind.
• Hand-over point: the address or the area where you want the car delivered, agreed with the manager beforehand.
• Driver details: the name of the main driver and anyone else who will be driving, so the agreement matches who is actually behind the wheel.
• Contact route: the phone number or email we use to send the confirmation and to reach you on the day.

What the manager confirms back to you

The rate follows the daily price of the car you picked: Economy from €14 a day means €84 for the week, and the same × 6 rule holds all the way up to the Comfort class at €41 a day, which is €246 for the week. A month is priced as the daily rate × 21, so the same Economy car comes to €294.

Delivery and the agreement

We deliver the car to you, and the hand-over is arranged with the manager for the date and place you agreed. The rental agreement is the document that carries the deposit, the excess and the fuel policy, and it is the version you accept at booking that applies — so read it before the car arrives, not at the kerb.

If anything in it does not match what you were told, raise it with the manager straight away: changing a class, a date or a hand-over point is a conversation, and it is far easier before the week starts than in the middle of it. Ask for the weekly total in writing, with the deposit listed separately, so the figure you pay at the end is the figure you agreed at the start.
