Electric car rental in Valencia
Electric car rental in Valencia starts at €22 per day across 9 electric cars, from a Fiat 500e to a BMW i4. Rent-Trip delivers 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 electric car rental in Valencia gives you that a fuel car does not
An electric car is a practical choice here, not a niche one: our electric class holds 9 cars, all automatic, from €22 a day. Below is what changes on a trip when the car runs on a battery instead of petrol.
Why travellers choose an electric car for a Valencia trip
Rent-Trip runs 9 electric cars here, all automatic, from €22 per day. The line-up covers hatchbacks, sedans and crossovers, from the Fiat 500e at €22 and the Peugeot e-208 at €24 up to the Ford Mustang Mach-E at €62 and the BMW i4 at €75; power runs from 118 hp in the Fiat to 340 hp in the i4. An electric car is exempt from the ZBE València category A restriction, which applies to petrol cars registered before 2001 and diesels before 2006, so city-centre access is simpler than with an older fuel car.
What an electric car costs against a fuel car on the same trip
Our electric class runs from €22 to €75 per day, with a week from €132 and a month from €462. Those longer rates follow the same rule for every model: weekly is the daily rate times six, monthly is the daily rate times twenty-one. The daily rate is not the whole bill. Gasolina 95 E5 averaged €1.978 a litre across 62 filling stations in the municipality of València in our last check, and Gasóleo A averaged €1.923 — a figure that matters less when the tank is a battery.
What you do not pay for with an electric car in the city
- Fuel stops: no detour to a gasolinera.
- Gear changes: every car in the class is automatic, which matters on the V-30 and in the old-town streets.
If you are weighing an electric car against a fuel one, ask the manager at booking which model fits your route — the answer depends on how far you plan to drive, not on the price alone.
The electric fleet you can rent in Valencia and what each model costs
Nine models, one class, one price band — pick by seats, body and power.
Every model in the electric class with seats, power and daily price
| Model | Body | Seats | Power | Price per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiat 500e | Hatchback | 4 | 118 hp | €22 |
| Peugeot e-208 | Hatchback | 5 | 136 hp | €24 |
| Renault 5 E-Tech | Hatchback | 5 | 120 hp | €25 |
| Nissan Leaf | Hatchback | 5 | 150 hp | €30 |
| Tesla Model 3 | Sedan | 5 | 283 hp | €44 |
| Tesla Model Y | Crossover | 5 | 299 hp | €50 |
| Polestar 2 | Liftback | 5 | 272 hp | €55 |
| Ford Mustang Mach-E | Crossover | 5 | 269 hp | €62 |
| BMW i4 | Sedan | 5 | 340 hp | €75 |
Seat count is the fastest filter — the Fiat 500e is the only 4-seat car in the class, every other model seats 5. Longer bookings follow the same daily rate: a week from €132, a month from €462. On our side, the cheapest car in the electric class is the Fiat 500e at €22 per day and the top of the range is the BMW i4 at €75, so the whole spread is €22–€75 per day.
Which electric car suits a couple, a family or a long drive
- Small families: the Renault 5 E-Tech and Nissan Leaf seat five for €25–€30, with 120–150 hp for city and ring-road work.
- Long motorway days: the Polestar 2 and BMW i4 are liftback and sedan at €55–€75; the i4 carries an 84 kWh battery, the Model Y 60 kWh.
- Mixed roads and weather: the Ford Mustang Mach-E is the only model in the class offered with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.
If your trip is mostly urban with one out-of-town run, the cheaper hatchbacks cover it comfortably; save the €62–€75 tier for the days when you actually plan to leave the city.
Electric car rental in Valencia with charging and included extras
Charging is the one part of electric car rental here that needs a decision before you drive off, not during the trip. Here is what arrives with the car and where the power comes from.
Every electric car we hand over comes clean.
Where to charge an electric car in Valencia
- Punto de recarga: the Spanish name for a public charging point.
How electric car rental in Valencia works with delivery and hand-over
What the booking step by step looks like
- Choose the car: pick any of the 9 electric models, from the Fiat 500e at €22 a day to the BMW i4 at €75.
- Agree the address: tell the manager where and when you want the car handed over — a hotel in Ruzafa, an apartment near the City of Arts and Sciences, or the airport.
- Confirm the dates: a week starts at €132 and a month at €462, both counted from the daily rate.
- Fix the booking: the manager confirms the address, the date and the time, and only then is the booking locked in.
Where we can bring the car
Delivery covers any address in the city and Valencia Airport (VLC); if the address sits outside the area, the manager arranges it case by case and nothing is promised until he confirms. A car handed over at the airport saves a traveller the Metrovalencia ride on lines 3 and 5 into town, which takes about 15 minutes.
Low-emission zones, parking and tolls for electric car rental in Valencia
ZBE València: what the low-emission zone means for an electric car
ZBE València (Zona de Bajas Emisiones) covers 27.8 km² inside Ronda Nord, the avenidas de Tarongers and Serradora and Bulevard Sud, and runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The staged rollout starts with cars carrying no DGT sticker that are registered outside the province of Valencia, then outside the city, and from 01.01.2028 reaches every category A car including residents' own. Category A means petrol registered before 2001 and diesel before 2006 — exactly the profile an electric car does not have. A car with Spanish plates and a DGT sticker (B, C, ECO or 0) falls outside the restriction, because only category A is limited. Our 9 cars are electric and automatic, so the zone is one less thing to plan around. Ask the manager at booking which sticker your model carries — on a Tesla Model 3 or a Fiat 500e it is settled before you drive.
Parking: zona azul, zona naranja and what an EV pays
- Zona azul centro y ensanches: Ciutat Vella, L'Eixample and Extramurs, 2 hours maximum, €0.55 up to 25 minutes, €1.00 for 60 minutes, €1.70 for 120 minutes, billed in 5-minute steps.
- Zona azul resto ciudad: the same 2-hour cap outside the centre, cheaper at €0.30, €0.80 and €1.50 for the same three durations.
- Zona naranja: mixed resident-and-rotation bays, non-residents pay €1.10, €2.10 or €3.30 and may stay 2 hours; in Ruzafa and El Botànic the rotation window is Monday to Friday 09:00–19:00, in Ciutat Vella 09:00–20:00, and Saturday 09:00–15:00 everywhere.
- Zona verde: residents with a permit only, at €86.20 for 12 months — not an option for a short stay.
Tolls and the roads out of the city
The AP-7 (Autopista del Mediterráneo) between Salou and Alicante has been toll-free since 01.01.2020, when the Aumar concession ended and 373.8 km were released — so Dénia, Calp, Benidorm and Peñíscola are reached without a péage. Inside the city the V-21 access road and the V-30 urban expressway carry fixed speed cameras, and the general limits are 120 km/h on autopistas, 90 km/h on ordinary rural roads and 30 km/h on a city street with one lane each way.
Electric car rental in Valencia for day trips and range planning
The AP-7 (Autopista del Mediterráneo) between Salou (Tarragona) and Alicante has been toll-free since 01.01.2020, when the Aumar concession ended — 373.8 km released. That matters for route planning: Dénia, Calp, Benidorm and Peñíscola are reached without péage, so the only running cost on those runs is the charge itself.
Which trips suit which model
- Fiat 500e and Peugeot e-208: city and near-coast runs — El Saler, the Albufera lagoon and Malvarrosa, where you park and charge at the end of the day.
- Renault 5 E-Tech and Nissan Leaf: the middle band — Sagunto, Cullera and Gandia, half an hour to an hour each way.
- Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2: Xàtiva, Dénia and Jávea, where a longer motorway day is the point of the trip.
- BMW i4: the longest days — Requena and Utiel wine country, or Peñíscola, with an 84 kWh battery and 340 hp.
Hotel stays in the city peak in August, at 129 % of the monthly average.
Documents, insurance and what the rental agreement sets out
What the rental agreement sets out
- Fuel policy: lleno-lleno — the car comes with a full tank and goes back full; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the agreement.
- Young-driver surcharge and minimum age: agreed when booking, not a fixed figure here.
- Driving territory: where the car may be taken is agreed when booking.
Documents the driver brings
- Licence: an EU/EEA permit is fully valid in Spain while it has not expired, with nothing further needed. A third-country permit is valid if it is in force, if the holder is old enough for the equivalent Spanish category, and if no more than six months have passed since they took up ordinary residence in Spain.
- Licence not in Spanish: valid either with an official sworn translation into Spanish, or if it was issued on the Appendix 9 Geneva or Appendix 6 Vienna model.
- International Driving Permit: a supplementary document — it is shown only together with the passport and the national licence, and it runs for one year.
Insurance that comes with the car
Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil is included in every hire by Spanish law and applies always, even if the person at the wheel is not named in the agreement; it covers harm to third parties, not the driver and not the car. The legal limits are 70,000,000 EUR per incident for personal injury, however many people are hurt, and 15,000,000 EUR per incident for property damage.
