Minivans car rental in Spain and what the fleet covers

Our page carries 41 such cars, from €42 to €82 a day.

What counts as a minivan here

The market treats the automatic gearbox as a separate, pricier class, so a monovolumen with an automatic is a different booking from the same body with a manual — check the gearbox line, not the model name, before you decide.

The 41 minivans on this page

Our fleet on this page runs to 41 cars, from the Ford C-Max at €42 a day to the Seat Tarraco at €82. In between sit the Citroen C4 Picasso at €46, the Nissan NV200 and Renault Scenic at €48, the Dacia Lodgy at €50, and the Citroen Berlingo, Dacia Jogger, Fiat Doblo, Opel Combo and Opel Zafira at €52. Seven-seaters with an automatic start lower than you might expect: the Renault Grand Scenic at €54, the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso at €56 and the Toyota Prius+ at €58.

Rent minivans in Spain with 5 or 7 seats for trips

Five seats or seven is not really a question about passenger count — it is a question about whether the boot survives the trip. We keep both layouts in the fleet, so the honest answer depends on your party and your bags, not on the size of the car.

Five seats or seven — what actually changes

Work out your worst luggage day — four large cases plus a pushchair, say — before you decide which row you are buying.

Minivan or SUV for a family of five

The Peugeot 5008 is listed on this page in both forms — as an MPV from €64 a day and as an SUV from €80 — which is a useful reminder that the body label matters less than the shape of the space behind the second row.

If your group sits between the two — six people, or five plus grandparents for part of the trip — book the seven-seater and treat the third row as luggage space on the days you do not need it. Changing your mind after the booking is fixed is harder than choosing the bigger body now.

Minivan rental prices in Spain by model and length of booking

Prices for minivans car rental in Spain run from €42 to €82 a day, and the rate you pay depends on two things: which model you pick and how long you keep it.

Daily, weekly and monthly minivan rates

Minivans car rental in Spain starts at €42 a day, with weekly bookings from €252 and monthly from €882. The weekly rate is the daily rate multiplied by six, and the monthly rate is the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one — no other multipliers apply, and the arithmetic holds whether you take the cheapest Ford C-Max or the dearest model on the page. A one-week booking of the €46 Citroen C4 Picasso works out at €276, while a month in the same car comes to €966. Because the multipliers stay fixed across the fleet, you can compare any two models by their daily figure alone and know the longer rates will keep the same gap between them.

Prices by minivan model

What moves the price up

• Automatic gearbox: most automatics sit above the cheapest manuals, though the automatic Citroen C4 Picasso at €46 undercuts many manual models.

Deposit, insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, and the exact figure is confirmed when you book with a manager.

Automatic and manual minivans for rent in Spain

Gearbox choice splits our 41 minivans into two groups, and the split rarely falls where travellers expect it: the cheapest cars are manual, and most automatics sit higher in the range. On mountain roads out of a city, the difference matters more than the badge on the bonnet.

Which minivans are automatic

• Citroen C4 Picasso: 5 seats, diesel, automatic, €46 a day — the cheapest automatic on this page.
• Renault Scenic: 5 seats, diesel, automatic, €48 a day, 120 hp.
• Renault Grand Scenic: 7 seats, diesel, automatic, €54 a day.
• Citroen C4 Grand Picasso: 7 seats, diesel, automatic, €56 a day.
• Toyota Prius+: 7 seats, hybrid, automatic, €58 a day — the only hybrid automatic under €60.
• Volkswagen Sharan: 7 seats, diesel, automatic, €62 a day, 150 hp.
• Ford Galaxy and Ford S-Max: 7 seats, diesel, automatic, €64 and €66 a day.
• Renault Espace, Volkswagen Touran, BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer: 7 seats, automatic, from €66 to €72 a day.

Which minivans are manual

• Ford C-Max: 5 seats, 1.5 L diesel, 120 hp, €42 a day — the entry point of the whole fleet.
• Nissan NV200: 7 seats, diesel, €48 a day, the cheapest seven-seater we list.
• Dacia Lodgy: 7 seats, diesel, €50 a day.
• Citroen Berlingo, Fiat Doblo and Opel Combo: 5 seats, diesel, from €52 a day.
• Dacia Jogger: 7 seats, hybrid, €52 a day.
• Opel Zafira: 7 seats, 1.6 L diesel, 136 hp, €52 a day.
• Peugeot Rifter: 7 seats, diesel, €55 a day.
• Volkswagen Caddy and Caddy Maxi: 5 and 7 seats, 2.0 L diesel, 122 hp, €75 a day.

What the split means when you book

Drivers who have never worked a manual on a steep, narrow street should price the automatic before they price the seats.

Diesel, hybrid and petrol minivans car rental in Spain

Fuel choice shapes both the running cost and the car you actually get.

What each fuel type gives you

• Petrol/Diesel: the Volkswagen Touran at €66 is listed with both fuel types, so confirm which one your booking carries when you agree the details with a manager.

Matching fuel to the trip you are planning

If the tank goes back short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Nothing on this page changes the tank policy, whichever fuel you pick.

Automatic or manual, petrol or diesel

• Diesel manual: the Nissan NV200 at €48 and the Dacia Lodgy at €50, both seven-seaters with a 1.5-litre engine.
• Hybrid automatic: the Toyota Prius+ at €58 and the Renault Espace at €66 in Valencia and €72 in Barcelona.
• Petrol manual: the Ford C-MAX at €55 and the Dacia Jogger at €60.

Diesel manuals and diesel automatics make up most of the fleet, so if you want one specific combination, it is worth agreeing it with a manager before the booking is fixed rather than leaving it to the day.

Delivery points for minivans car rental in Spain

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, so the meeting point is settled before you arrive.

Delivery points we cover on this page

• Madrid: any address in the city and Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), with the meeting point confirmed with your manager in advance.
• Barcelona: any address in the city and Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN), including late arrivals if the slot is agreed when you book.
• Valencia: any address in the city and Valencia Airport (VLC), for arrivals along the eastern coast.
• Costa Brava: any address in the Costa Brava towns we have a page for, plus Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) and Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN).

When the address sits outside those four

Booking a minivan is not limited to the cities above, but delivery further out is arranged case by case and is not promised on this site. A villa in the hills, a campsite or a smaller town may still work — ask the manager with the address and the dates, and you get a clear yes or no before anything is confirmed. Tell us the postcode when you write, not the nearest big town.

What happens at the hand-over

The car comes clean with a full tank, and it must go back the same way — full-to-full, which here is lleno-lleno. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Everything else — the deposit, the excess, any delivery fee — is also set out in that agreement rather than quoted here.

Fuel, documents and driving rules for minivans car rental in Spain

A full tank at hand-over and a full tank at return — that is the only fuel policy we offer, and the paperwork side of hiring a minivan is settled with a manager before the booking is fixed.

Full-to-full and what it means in practice

We supply every minivan with a full tank and ask for it back full; the phrase here is lleno-lleno. Refuel before you reach the return address — if the tank is short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Diesel is the safe bet on our MPVs: the Ford C-Max, Citroen C4 Picasso, Nissan NV200 and Dacia Lodgy all run on gasóleo A, which is what diesel is called on Spanish pumps. Petrol models take gasolina 95.

Documents a driver is asked for

• Licence: an EU or EEA licence is valid until it expires, with no international permit needed on top.
• Non-EU licence: valid for driving as a visitor; DGT advises getting a Permiso Internacional de Conducción before the trip and carrying it with your passport and national licence.
• Language of the licence: a licence not in Spanish is accepted with an official certified translation, or if it follows the Geneva or Vienna convention format.

Speed, alcohol and the rules that catch visitors

Speed limits on a minivan are the same as for any car: 120 km/h on autopista and autovía, 90 km/h on a conventional road, and in town 30 km/h on a single-lane street, 50 km/h where there are two or more lanes each way. The alcohol limit is 0.25 mg/l of breath for most drivers and 0.15 mg/l for anyone in their first two years, which is worth knowing if a younger driver is on the agreement. Phone in hand is 200 EUR and up to 6 points; seat belts and child seats are 200 EUR and 4 points, and SRI seats are required for children under 135 cm. Fines are graded leve, grave and muy grave, with a 50% reduction for payment within 20 calendar days. Eco stickers decide access to ZBE low-emission zones, so check the windscreen before you drive into a city centre.

What to settle before you book minivans car rental in Spain

Two things decide whether your booking goes smoothly: the seat count you actually need, and the details you fix with a manager before the car is delivered. Both are settled in one conversation, not at a counter.

Check the seats, the gearbox and the fuel against your route

• Seats: count passengers including children, then add one — a 7-seat minivan only beats a 5-seat one when the third row is genuinely in use.
• Fuel: diesel and hybrid models dominate the 7-seat end of the fleet, while the cheapest 5-seat MPVs are petrol or diesel.

Agree the delivery address, date and time

We deliver to any address in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and the Costa Brava towns we cover, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Delivery outside those areas is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site. The car arrives clean with a full tank and must go back with a full tank — the Spanish lleno-lleno policy — otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.

Have the documents ready before the car arrives

• Driving licence: EU and EEA licences are valid in Spain until they expire; licences from outside the EEA are valid for tourists, and the DGT recommends an international driving permit before the trip.
• Non-Latin licences: a licence in Cyrillic or Arabic script needs either an official Spanish translation or an international permit to be accepted.
• Card: the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement — the card and the minimum age are agreed when booking, not fixed by us here.

Leave the licence translation to the last morning and you will be chasing a translator instead of driving.
