Weekly car rental

Planning a week of driving in Madrid and wondering what a weekly car rental actually costs? Rent-Trip keeps 24 cars on this page — Economy from €14 a day, Electric from €30, a convertible and a Comfort model from €41 — with weekly car rental from €84 and monthly from €294. 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. Check the class before you calculate the week — swapping Economy for Electric moves the total further than any single model change inside Economy.

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. The deposit is taken as a preautorización on a credit card in the main driver's name, and the excess is the amount you carry yourself if the car comes back damaged; the CDW option reduces that exposure but does not erase it. In our practice, the questions that come up most are these:

• Deposit amount: the figure is confirmed before you sign, not published as a flat number on the site.
• Insurance excess: depends on the class of car and on whether you add the waiver — the agreement states it.
• 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

Eighteen of the 24 cars here are Economy, from €14 a day, with four or five seats and a manual gearbox. The group runs from the two-seat Smart Fortwo at €14 and the four-seat Smart Forfour, Peugeot 108, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo X and Fiat 500, through the five-seat Fiat Panda, Citroen C3, Dacia Sandero, Renault Clio, Hyundai i20, Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208, Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo and Seat Ibiza, up to the Renault Clio at €25 and the Opel Corsa at €27. Every Economy car on this page has front-wheel drive and runs on petrol, apart from the hybrid Fiat Pandina at €23. Power sits between 67 hp on the Hyundai i10 and 100 hp on the Hyundai i20, Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208 and Ford Fiesta. In our experience the seat count matters more than the horsepower once you are threading through Centro — a five-seat Panda at €21 does the same job as a 100 hp Fiesta at €30.

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. All four are five-seat hatchbacks with front-wheel drive and no gearbox to work — the Zoe is the strongest at 135 hp, the e-208 at 136 hp, the 500e at 118 hp and the e-C3 at 113 hp. 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. Our advice: an electric week is worth it for the access it buys into the city centre, not for the mileage you save.

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.
• The hand-over: the manager walks you through the rental agreement at that point, and anything it sets out is agreed when booking.
• During the week: if the plan changes, you go back to the same manager rather than to a call centre queue.

Where we bring the car

We deliver across the city and its surroundings, and the exact spot is agreed when you book — an address in the centre, a hotel in Barrio de Salamanca, or a meeting point near Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. The same applies at the other end of the week: the return place is fixed in the same conversation, so you are not guessing where to leave the car on the last morning. If your week starts at Madrid Puerta de Atocha–Almudena Grandes or Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor and ends somewhere else, say so early — that is a detail the manager needs before the booking is locked, not after.

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. In our experience the questions that actually decide a weekly booking are the boring ones — where the car sleeps at night, whether the return time is tight against a flight, whether the class you picked really fits four people and a week of luggage. A manager answers those in one message. 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. Since 00:00 on 07 April 2026, under Ordenanza 2/2026 of 24 March 2026 (transitional provision seven), cars without a DGT environmental sticker fall under the access rules. 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.
• ECO: hybrids and other low-emission cars that qualify for a reduced-fee sticker.
• C and B: petrol cars registered from 2006 and diesel from 2014 (C), and petrol from 2000 and diesel from 2006 (B).
• 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. Cars with foreign plates have no DGT sticker and must be registered in advance — that is a condition of the zone, not of the booking, and it is worth settling before you arrive rather than at the barrier. The same sticker pays off at the kerb: holders of 0 emisiones and ECO park under the SER rules with a 75% discount on resident permits, and blue-zone parking is capped at four hours on weekdays (09:00–21:00) and two hours in the green zone, with Saturday hours running 09:00–15:00 only. In our experience the electric cars are the ones weekly guests keep coming back for — not because of the fuel bill, but because the zone stops being a calculation. 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

• Deposit: the amount is blocked on a credit card in the main driver's name and is told to you before signing, not after.
• Insurance excess: the franquicia is printed in the agreement whether or not you buy a waiver, and CDW only removes liability beyond that sum.
• 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.
• Fuel policy: the agreed level in the tank on return is written into the contract — lleno-lleno is the version consumer bodies recommend.

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. Our advice from practice: photograph the dashboard and the fuel gauge at hand-over and keep the copy of the inspection sheet in the glovebox — it is the document that decides who pays if a scratch appears later.

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.
• Segovia: about 90 km north-west on the AP-6 and AP-61, an hour and a quarter door to door.
• Ávila: just over 110 km along the A-6, an hour and a half each way, comfortable as a single day.
• San Lorenzo de El Escorial: around 50 km north-west, 45 minutes, and the shortest run of the set.
• Aranjuez and Chinchón: 45–50 km south, both reachable in under an hour, often paired in one 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. Fuel is the part people underestimate. Gasolina 95 E5 averaged €1.971 a litre across 231 filling stations in the sample, with a median of €2.009, a low of €1.789 and a high of €2.086, so a 300 km day in a 1.0-litre hatchback is a small line next to the booking itself. In our experience the trips that burn the budget are the ones with several tolls in each direction, not the long motorway runs.

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. The 0 emisiones and ECO DGT stickers each carry a 75% discount on resident permits. 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

A booking that runs past seven days is priced on the same daily rate at x 21, which is why the fourth week costs the same as the first and there is no reason to rebook. Staying a month also changes what you drive: 24 cars sit on this page and 18 of them are Economy, from €14 a day, so availability on the smallest and cheapest models thins out fastest over long dates. 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. The deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are set out in the rental agreement — we do not quote them as a number here, because they depend on the class and on the terms you agree. Fuel policy, the minimum age and the cards accepted are also confirmed at booking, not assumed.

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.
