Car rental in Valencia

Compulsory insurance is included in car rental in Valencia, the car is supplied with a full tank and returned full, and 138 cars across 14 classes are ready to book from €13 a day. We bring the car to any address in Valencia and to Valencia Airport (VLC), with the delivery address, date and time agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

What car rental in Valencia looks like with Rent-Trip

Rent-Trip runs on one idea: the car comes to you. This page holds 138 cars across 14 classes, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Below is how that works in practice.

How booking with us works

We hold 138 cars on this page and hand the car over wherever you are in the city. You pick a class, we confirm the booking with a manager, and the car is brought to the address you name — clean, with a full tank. We do not offer a pre-paid tank or a full-to-empty option. The car comes with the tank full and goes back the same way.

Where we bring the car

• Any address in the city: home, hotel, apartment or office — we deliver to the address you give us when booking.
• Valencia Airport (VLC): arrivals at Manises, the same hand-over routine as anywhere else in the city.
• València-Joaquín Sorolla: the high-speed station, useful if you arrive by train and drive on the same day.
• Port of Valencia: the cruise terminal, for arrivals by sea rather than by air.
• Feria Valencia: the exhibition centre on Avenida de las Ferias, for trade-fair and congress weeks.

Delivery points outside these are arranged case by case and are not promised on the site. If your address sits beyond the city, say so when you book — the manager confirms whether it can be done before anything is fixed.

What the booking actually fixes

The booking fixes three things: the class, the delivery address, and the date and time. Everything else — the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount — is set out in the rental agreement, not guessed at over the phone. One thing worth knowing before you choose a class: the ZBE València low-emission zone covers 27.8 km² of the centre, and from 01.12.2025 it restricts category A cars — petrol registered before 2001 and diesel before 2006 — that are registered outside the province, widening to city-registered cars from 01.01.2028. Cars carrying a Spanish plate and a DGT sticker fall outside that restriction, since only category A is targeted. The practical check is the sticker, not the age of the car.

Classes and prices of car rental in Valencia

Weekly bookings start at €78 and monthly at €273 — counts of daily × 6 and daily × 21 respectively.

Prices by class

The longer you keep the car, the more the class you pick matters. A week in Economy at €13 a day is €78; the same week in Comfort at €40 a day is €240. On a monthly booking the gap widens by the same factor of 21, so the choice between a Crossover at €33 and a Premium at €51 decides most of the final bill. We count the multiplier against the daily rate of the class you actually booked, so it never drifts.

What the cheapest option gets you

Ford Fiesta and Nissan Micra open the range at €13 a day — both Economy hatchbacks with five seats, petrol engines and manual transmission. Kia Picanto sits just above at €15 with four seats, and Toyota Yaris matches that €15 but swaps the manual for an automatic and the petrol for a hybrid, 116 hp against the Fiesta's 100 hp. The two-euro step from the Fiesta to the Yaris is the one to weigh first if you want an automatic. At €20–€22 a day the Economy list closes with the Hyundai i20, Renault Clio, Skoda Fabia, Volkswagen Polo, Opel Corsa and Peugeot 208, all five-seat petrol manuals.

Where the money goes above €30

Electric is the cheapest way past Economy — 9 cars from €22, the Fiat 500e leading at that rate with automatic transmission and 118 hp. At the top, Luxury at €336, Sports at €588 and Exotic at €800 are booked for a reason rather than a commute, and the daily figure is what you compare, not the weekly one.

Long-term car rental in Valencia and how the rate drops

Longer bookings are where the arithmetic starts working for you: Rent-Trip charges a week as the daily rate times six, and a month as the daily rate times twenty-one. The multipliers apply to the daily rate of the class you actually pick, not to an average across the fleet, so a cheap class stays cheap and an expensive one stays expensive over the same period.

Weekly and monthly hire in Valencia

A week starts at €78 and thirty days at €273, both built from the daily rate of the chosen class — €13 in Economy, €33 in Crossover, €40 in Comfort. The rule is simple and identical for every one of the 138 cars on this page: daily rate × 6 for seven days, daily rate × 21 for thirty. A monthly booking on a €33 Crossover lands at €693, and the same thirty days on a €20 Opel Corsa comes to €420. Ask the manager for the exact total for your dates before the booking is fixed — the daily rate of your class is what the whole sum is built on.

Picking the right class for a longer stay

• Comfort: 11 cars from €40 a day, four of them automatic, for daily city driving over several weeks.
• Economy: 16 cars from €13, the lowest total for a stay of thirty days; the €13 Ford Fiesta and Nissan Micra are five-seat manuals.
• Electric: 9 cars from €22, worth a look if you will be charging at home rather than at public points.

What a long booking changes in practice

The longer the booking, the more the gap between classes costs you in absolute terms: €20 a day between Economy and Crossover is €420 over a month, and €27 a day between Economy and Comfort is €567. That is the number to weigh, not the daily difference. If your stay runs past thirty days, tell the manager the full period when you book: the whole booking is priced from the daily rate of your class, and the multiplier is applied to it as agreed at that point.

Electric car rental in Valencia and the low-emission zone

Does the low-emission zone affect picking up a car here

ZBE València covers 27.8 km² inside Ronda Nord, the avenidas de Tarongers and Serradora, and Bulevard Sud, and from 01.12.2025 it restricts only category A cars — petrol registered before 2001 and diesel before 2006 — that are registered outside the province of Valencia. The rollout is staged: from 01.01.2027 the same restriction reaches category A cars registered outside the city itself, and from 01.01.2028 it applies to every category A car, residents included.

Electric car rental in Valencia from €22 a day

• Fiat 500e: 4 seats, automatic, 118 hp, front-wheel drive, €22 a day — the cheapest way into the Electric class.
• Peugeot e-208: 5 seats, automatic, 136 hp, €24 a day.
• Renault 5 E-Tech: 5 seats, automatic, 120 hp, €25 a day.
• Charging versus fuel: Gasolina 95 E5 averages €1.978 a litre across 62 stations in the municipality, so a full tank of petrol costs real money on a week-long booking.

Why the electric class suits the city and the coast

Nine electric cars sit in the Electric class on this page, and the case for them is strongest on short, repeated trips — the airport run, the centre, Ruzafa, the City of Arts and Sciences — where a combustion engine never warms up properly and burns fuel at its worst. On the motorway to Albufera, El Saler, Sagunto or Xàtiva the advantage narrows, and the honest advice is to check the round-trip distance against the real range before you commit, not after.

Car rental in Valencia for families and groups

Group size decides the class before anything else does. We hold 138 cars on this page, and the seating runs from two-seat panel vans up to nine-seat vans, so a family of five and a group of nine are two different bookings with two different price floors.

Seats and classes that fit a group

• 5 seats: the default across Economy, Crossover, Comfort and Sedan — Ford Fiesta and Nissan Micra at €13 a day sit here, as do the Kia Ceed at €40 and the Hyundai i30 at €42.
• 7, 8 and 9 seats: Minivans from €52 a day for seven, Passenger vans from €68 for eight or nine — the class built for a full group with bags.

What we hand over for a family booking

The same conversation covers the delivery address, the date and the time, all fixed before the hire is confirmed. Our cars come clean with a full tank and go back full-to-full; anything else is charged as set out in the rental agreement. For a group of seven or more, the Passenger vans class is the honest answer rather than two Economy cars — one driver, one parking space, one fuel stop.

Where a bigger car actually earns its money

Albufera, El Saler and Sagunto are short hops from the city, and a Crossover from €33 handles all three without a second thought. Longer runs change the maths: Dénia and Jávea, Benidorm, Peñíscola and the Requena and Utiel wine country all sit within reach, and the AP-7 Salou–Alicante stretch has been toll-free since 01.01.2020, so the coastal routes north and south no longer add a péage to the trip. For a nine-seat van, that matters more than the daily rate — a week at €68 a day is €408 by the weekly multiplier of daily × 6, and the tolls you are not paying stay in your pocket.

Parking a large car in the centre

Zona azul in Ciutat Vella, L'Eixample and Extramurs caps stays at two hours and costs €1.70 for 120 minutes, with a five-minute billing step. Zona naranja charges non-residents €3.30 for the same two hours, and in Ruzafa, El Botànic and La Roqueta the rotation hours run Monday to Friday 09:00–19:00.

Business and cargo needs with car rental in Valencia

A van or a panel van changes what a working week costs: Commercial starts at €40 a day, and the 9-seat Passenger vans class opens at €68. Between them, our Commercial and Passenger vans classes hold 19 vehicles — Renault Express Van and Ford Transit Connect for loads, the larger people carriers for crews and site teams.

Commercial vehicles for loads and deliveries

• Renault Express Van: panel van, 2 seats, 1.5 L diesel, manual, front-wheel drive, 95 hp, €40 a day — the cheapest way to move boxes inside the city.
• Ford Transit Connect: panel van, 5 seats, 1.5 L diesel, manual, front-wheel drive, 100 hp, €41 a day — a second row for a helper plus a load bay.
• Loading and parking: the Zona azul covers Ciutat Vella, L'Eixample and Extramurs at €1.00 for 60 minutes, capped at 2 hours.

Moving a team rather than a load

• Passenger vans: 10 cars from €68 a day, seating up to 9 — the class to book when the whole crew travels together.
• Minivans: 8 cars from €52 a day, a cheaper middle step when 7 seats are enough.
• Seat counts: our fleet covers 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 seats, so the number of people decides the class before the price does.
• Cargo and seats together: the 5-seat panel vans carry a passenger row and a load bay in one vehicle, which suits installers and event crews.

Weekly and monthly rates for ongoing work

A month of Commercial at €40 a day comes to €840, because a month is counted as the daily rate times 21 — and the same multiplier applies to Passenger vans at €68, or €1,428. The weekly figure is the daily rate times 6: €240 for the small van, €408 for the 9-seater. On a long hire the gap between classes widens with every week, so pick the smallest vehicle that actually fits the job and book the extra seats only for the days you need them. Deliveries are arranged to an address in the city, the date and time agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed; sites outside are handled case by case and are not promised on the site.

Driving a rental car in Valencia and out of town

Spain drives on the right and every car in the Rent-Trip fleet is left-hand drive, so the first few minutes behind the wheel feel familiar to most European visitors. Speed limits are the ones to watch: 120 km/h on autopista and autovía, 90 km/h on a conventional country road, 50 km/h on city streets with two or more lanes in one direction and 30 km/h where there is a single lane each way. The V-21 approach road and the V-30 urban ring carry fixed speed cameras, so the limit on the sign is the limit that gets photographed.

Parking in the city

• Zona azul centro y ensanches: Ciutat Vella, L'Eixample and Extramurs — €1.00 for 60 minutes, €1.70 for 120, two hours maximum.
• Zona azul resto ciudad: the same blue zone outside the centre — €0.80 for 60 minutes, €1.50 for 120.
• Zona naranja: mixed resident and rotation parking; non-residents pay €2.10 for 60 minutes in rotation hours, which in Ruzafa, El Botànic and La Roqueta run Monday to Friday 9:00–19:00.
• Zona verde: resident permit holders only.
• Payment: ElParking (operated by EYSA) and Telpark both cover the regulated zones.

Fuel and the road out

Our cars leave with a full tank and come back with a full tank; anything missing plus a refuelling service fee is charged as set out in the rental agreement.

The AP-7 (Autopista del Mediterráneo) has been toll-free since 01.01.2020 along the Salou–Alicante stretch, 373.8 km released from the old concession, which is why Dénia, Calp and Benidorm to the south and Peñíscola to the north are now a straightforward drive with no péage. Closer in, the Albufera natural park covers 21,120 hectares and sits about 25 minutes (21 km) from the centre at El Palmar — the kind of run that makes a Crossover from €33 a day worth it over the smallest hatchback.

Which class fits which trip in car rental in Valencia

The right class follows the trip, not the budget alone. A city week and a nine-day family run to the coast ask for different cars, and the 138 vehicles on this page split across 14 classes precisely so the two never have to borrow each other's compromise.

Matching the class to the trip

• Six or seven travelling together: Minivans from €52, or Passenger vans from €68 when the bags outnumber the people.
• A wedding, a shoot or a milestone: Convertibles from €30, Sports from €588, Exotic from €800 — booked for the day, not the week.

What changes the class mid-booking

The counter-intuitive part is that the bigger car is not always the dearer one: a five-seat Economy hatchback undercuts the four-seat Fiat 500, so group size should be checked against the class list before the price is read.

Where each class stops making sense

A nine-seat Passenger van at €68 a day is the wrong answer for a couple, and a four-seat Fiat 500 is the wrong answer for a family with a pushchair. A simple rule of thumb: pick the class for the worst day of the trip, not the average one — the airport run with four suitcases is the day that decides whether a Crossover was enough.

What the rental agreement covers in car rental in Valencia

The agreement is the document that turns a class and a price into a booking, and it is where the numbers that are not on this page actually live. Read it before the date is fixed, not on the morning of collection.

What is fixed when you book and what is not

• Fixed at booking: the class, the delivery address, the date and the time — all agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
• Set out in the rental agreement: the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount.
• Not offered on this page: a pre-paid tank or a full-to-empty fuel option — the car comes with a full tank and goes back full.
• Not promised on the site: delivery outside the city, which is arranged case by case and confirmed by the manager before anything is fixed.
• Agreed when booking: the minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, the cards accepted and the territory the car may be driven in.

The fuel rule, in one line

The car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank — the lleno-lleno policy, the standard practice in Spanish rental.

What to check in the paperwork

The compulsory third-party insurance (Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil) is included in every rental by Spanish law, with limits of 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury and 15,000,000 EUR for property damage. Spanish consumer rules also require every scratch and dent to be written into the contract or the inspection sheet before the car leaves, signed by both sides, with a copy kept by the renter — otherwise the damage is attributed to you. Ask for that sheet to be filled in at hand-over; it is the single step that decides who pays for a scuff found a week later.

Delivery and return in car rental in Valencia

Where the car can be brought

• Any address in the city: home, hotel, apartment or office — the address you give when booking.
• Valencia Airport (VLC): arrivals at Manises, with the same hand-over routine as anywhere else in the city.
• València-Joaquín Sorolla: the high-speed station, for arrivals by train who drive on the same day.

Planning the return around the traffic

The V-21 approach road and the V-30 urban ring carry fixed speed cameras, so the limit on the sign is the limit that gets photographed.

Monthly car rental in Valencia for long stays

A month is priced as the daily rate of your class times 21, and a week as the daily rate times 6 — the same two multipliers for all 138 cars on this page. That single rule is what makes a month of car rental in Valencia predictable enough to budget before you arrive.

What a month costs by class

Why the multiplier rewards the right class

The gap between classes widens in absolute terms the longer you keep the car: €9 a day between Economy and Electric is €189 across a month, and €27 a day between Economy and Comfort is €567. If the stay runs past thirty days, give the manager the full period when you book: the whole booking is priced from the daily rate of your class, and the multiplier is applied to it as agreed at that point.

The city rules a long stay runs into

On street parking, Zona azul in Ciutat Vella, L'Eixample and Extramurs caps stays at two hours and costs €1.70 for 120 minutes; Zona naranja charges non-residents €3.30 for the same two hours, and in Ruzafa, El Botànic and La Roqueta the rotation hours run Monday to Friday 09:00–19:00. A monthly booking that parks on the street every day should budget for those two-hour resets rather than assume a resident permit.

Common mistakes in car rental in Valencia

The four that cost the most

• Reading the daily rate as the whole bill: a week is the daily rate times 6 and a month is the daily rate times 21, so €13 a day is €78 for seven days, not €91.
• Returning the tank short: the car goes back full-to-full, and a short tank means the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee as set out in the rental agreement.
• Skipping the inspection sheet: every scratch must be written into the contract or the sheet before the car leaves, signed by both sides — an unfilled sheet is the damage attributed to you.
• Assuming the emissions zone is someone else's problem: the restriction is written for category A cars, and the sticker on the windscreen, not the age of the car, is what decides.

Two things to settle early

A class picked from the daily figure alone may need changing once the group size or the route becomes real. The cheaper way round is to name the worst day of the trip when booking — the airport run with four suitcases, the day the whole family travels together — and let the manager confirm the class against it. Delivery outside the city is the other point to raise early: it is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so an address beyond the city limits has to be raised before the booking is fixed, not on the morning of collection.
