Hatchback cars

One step above the smallest city cars in our Valencia fleet, a five-seat hybrid hatchback with an automatic gearbox starts at €15 a day — the same price as a manual Kia Picanto with four seats. Rent-Trip keeps 31 hatchback cars in Valencia, from €13 to €68 per day, weekly from €78 and monthly from €273, and we deliver the car to any address in the city or to Valencia Airport (VLC).

Hatchback car rental in Valencia classes and specs

Rent-Trip keeps 31 hatchbacks in Valencia across four classes — Economy, Comfort, Electric and Premium. The smallest group is Premium with three cars, the largest is Economy with 16, and the whole range runs from €13 to €68 per day.

Economy hatchbacks from €13 a day

We hold 16 Economy hatchbacks from €13 a day — the largest group on this page. The list opens with the Ford Fiesta and the Nissan Micra, both five-seat 1.0 L petrol manuals at €13, then the Kia Picanto at €15 with four seats and 67 hp. The Toyota Yaris is the Economy group's one hybrid and its one automatic — €15 a day, 1.5 L, 116 hp. Above it sit the Dacia Sandero and Toyota Aygo at €16, the Fiat Panda and Hyundai i10 at €17, and the Fiat 500 at €18. From €19 the group fills out with the Seat Ibiza, then the Hyundai i20, Opel Corsa, Renault Clio, Skoda Fabia and Volkswagen Polo — all €20, all five-seat petrol manuals, all front-wheel drive. The Peugeot 208 closes the class at €22. The cheapest cars are manual petrol, so book early if you need an automatic.

Comfort, Electric and Premium hatchbacks

Comfort starts at €40, Electric at €22 and Premium at €51 per day. Comfort is eight cars: the Kia Ceed and Hyundai i30 at €40 and €42, the Ford Focus and Opel Astra at €42, the Seat Leon at €44, the Toyota Corolla at €45 in hybrid automatic, the Volkswagen Golf at €45, and the Mini Cooper at €49 with four seats. Electric is four cars, all automatic and all front-wheel drive — the Fiat 500e at €22, Peugeot e-208 at €24, Renault 5 E-Tech at €25 and Nissan Leaf at €30. Premium is three: the Audi A1 at €51, Mercedes-Benz A-Class at €58 and BMW 1 Series at €68, each automatic with five seats. Electric hatchbacks cost more per day than the cheapest petrol but need no fuel.

Seats, fuel and transmission across the fleet

• Seats: 4 seats on the Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo, Hyundai i10, Fiat 500, Fiat 500e and Mini Cooper; 5 seats on the other 25 cars.
• Fuel: Petrol on 25 hatchbacks, Electric on four, Hybrid on the Toyota Yaris and Toyota Corolla.
• Transmission: Manual on 21 cars, Automatic on ten — the Yaris, all four electric models, the Corolla, Mini Cooper and the three Premium cars.
• Best value per day: the Ford Fiesta and Nissan Micra at €13, both 5 seats and 1.0 L petrol manual.

What hatchback car rental in Valencia costs

Hatchback hire with Rent-Trip starts at €13 a day and tops out at €68 for the most expensive model on this page. The band is wide because the fleet spans four classes, from a manual 1.0-litre Economy car to a 163 hp automatic Premium one. Below are the rates we charge, what the longer bookings work out to, and what is settled before you drive away.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

We charge €13 to €68 per day across the 31 hatchbacks on this page, and the longer you book, the lower the day rate falls. A week is charged as six days, so the cheapest Economy car comes to €78 for seven days, and a month is charged as 21 days, from €273. The same multipliers apply right up the range: a Comfort hatchback at €40 a day is €240 a week and €840 a month, while the BMW 1 Series at €68 works out at €408 and €1,428. Electric sits in the middle of the band, from €22 for a Fiat 500e to €30 for a Nissan Leaf. On a long booking the class you pick matters more than the daily headline.

What the price includes and what is agreed at booking

The car comes clean with a full tank and is returned with a full tank, so fuel is the one running cost you settle yourself rather than pay for twice. If the tank goes back short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, so ask about anything you want confirmed when you book, and there is nothing left to surprise you at hand-over.

Cheaper per day, or cheaper overall

The daily rate is the wrong number to shop on for anything longer than a weekend. A weekly booking at €13 a day comes to €78 for seven days, so the week pays off once your trip reaches six days. Electric sits above the cheapest petrol cars at €22 to €30 a day, while Gasolina 95 E5 averaged €1.978 a litre across 62 filling stations in the municipality of València.

Booking a hatchback car rental in Valencia with delivery

We deliver the car to any address in Valencia and to Valencia Airport (VLC). The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed — that is the whole hand-over process, and it is settled before anyone drives anywhere.

Delivery to any address and to the airport

Rent-Trip brings the hatchback to the address you give us — a hotel, an apartment, an office, or the terminal at Valencia Airport (VLC). You do not travel to a rental desk to collect it; the car comes to you, which matters most on the day you land or the evening you arrive by train from Joaquín Sorolla station. Delivery outside the city is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so if your stay sits beyond the ring road, say so early and we will tell you what is possible.

Agreeing the address, date and time with a manager

• Delivery address: the exact street and building, or the airport terminal — this is the first thing we confirm, because it sets the route the car takes to you.
• The rental agreement: the deposit, the excess, any delivery fee and the fuel terms are set out in the rental agreement, not quoted over the phone.

Fixing these three details first — address, date, time — avoids a second trip to hand the car over. The car itself arrives clean with a full tank and is returned with a full tank; anything beyond that, including the deposit and the excess, is written into the agreement you receive with the booking.

Renting a hatchback in Valencia ZBE parking and fuel

Spain drives on the right and every hatchback on this page is left-hand drive, so drivers used to left-hand traffic should allow a few hours to adjust.

The ZBE València low-emission zone

Cars with Spanish plates and a DGT sticker (B, C, ECO or 0) fall outside the ZBE València restrictions. The zone was approved by an ordinance and covers 27.8 km² inside Ronda Nord, avenidas de Tarongers and Serradora, and Bulevard Sud. Only category A cars — petrol registered before 2001 and diesel before 2006 — are restricted, and the rollout is staged: from 01.12.2025 to 31.12.2026 the rule bites only on category A cars registered outside the province of Valencia, through 2027 on those registered outside the city, and from 01.01.2028 on all category A cars including residents'.

Parking in the centre and around Ruzafa

• Zona azul centro y ensanches: Ciutat Vella, L'Eixample and Extramurs, 2 hours maximum, 1.00 EUR for 60 minutes and 1.70 EUR for 120, billed in 5-minute steps.
• Zona azul resto ciudad: the same 2-hour cap outside the centre at 0.80 EUR for 60 minutes and 1.50 EUR for 120.
• Zona naranja: mixed resident and rotation parking at 2.10 EUR for 60 minutes; non-residents may use it only during rotation hours, which run Monday to Friday 9:00–20:00 in Ciutat Vella and 9:00–19:00 around Ruzafa, El Botànic and La Roqueta, and Saturday 9:00–15:00 everywhere.
• Payment: the meters are run by EYSA and can be paid through ElParking or Telpark, which saves hunting for coins.

Fuel and what a tank actually costs

Gasolina 95 E5 averages 1.978 EUR a litre across 62 stations in the municipality of València, with a median of 2.039 and a range from 1.74 to 2.089. Diesel (Gasóleo A) sits at 1.923 EUR average on the same sample, and Gasolina 98 E5 at 2.148 EUR across 42 stations. Across the wider province the average for Gasolina 95 E5 is lower, at 1.915 EUR, and the AP-7 towards Dénia and Benidorm has been toll-free since 01.01.2020.

Day trip options with a hatchback car rental in Valencia

The distances below are measured from Plaça de l'Ajuntament, and the toll-free AP-7 means most of these runs cost you nothing in péage.

Sagunto, Xàtiva and Cullera — half-day runs

• Gandia: a further stretch down the same coast, best combined with Cullera rather than done on its own.

Longer trips north and south

The AP-7 (Autopista del Mediterráneo) from Salou through Valencia to 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 all reachable without péage. Dénia and Jávea sit about 107–113 km south by road and make a long day; Benidorm is further, about 142 km. Book the car for the day you actually leave, not the day before: the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager when you book, and an early collection means a full day on the road rather than half of one.

Documents, licence and the rental agreement

What follows is what the law says, and what we settle with you at booking.

Which licences are valid in Spain

• EU/EEA licences: fully valid in Spain for as long as they remain in force — Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway included. No international driving permit is needed.
• Non-EU/EEA licences: valid if the licence is in force and the holder meets the Spanish age requirement for the equivalent category. Once you take up ordinary residence in Spain, the licence is valid for six months, after which it must be exchanged.
• Licences not in Spanish: valid either with an official certified translation into Spanish, or if issued under the model of Annex 9 of the Geneva Convention or Annex 6 of the Vienna Convention.
• International driving permit (Permiso Internacional de Conducción): a supplementary document, valid for one year, presented only alongside your passport and national licence. The DGT advises getting one before you travel.

What the rental agreement covers

Spanish law puts compulsory third-party cover (Seguro Obligatorio de Responsabilidad Civil) on every hire, and it applies even if the person at the wheel was not named in the agreement. The statutory limits are 70 million EUR per incident for personal injury, however many people are hurt, and 15 million EUR per incident for property damage. The declared price must include every compulsory charge you cannot legally drive without.

Damage, fuel and the state of the car

We hand the hatchback over clean and with a full tank, and it comes back full — the Spanish lleno-lleno policy. If the tank is short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the agreement. Consumer rules in Spain require every scratch and dent to be written into the contract or the inspection sheet before you drive off, signed by both sides, with a copy for you — otherwise the damage is pinned on the renter. If the model you booked is not available, you can ask for another car at no extra cost, even a class above; if you are given a lower class, the price should come down.

What we agree with you at booking

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. That is also when the minimum age and driving experience, the card used for the deposit and any young-driver surcharge are settled — these are the rental company's conditions, not a rule of Spanish law, and they are confirmed with you rather than assumed.

Why renters choose our hatchbacks

Rent-Trip keeps 31 hatchbacks in Valencia, priced from €13 to €68 per day, and delivers each one to the address you name rather than asking you to collect it. That single arrangement — the car arrives where you are, at the time you agreed — is the core of the service.

What the fleet gives you:

• Four classes, one page: Economy from €13, Electric from €22, Comfort from €40 and Premium from €51 per day, so the choice is about your trip, not about hunting across separate listings.
• Fuel variety: petrol, hybrid and electric models sit side by side, and the Toyota Yaris hybrid comes with an automatic gearbox at €15 per day.
• Seats for real groups: 4- and 5-seat bodies cover couples, families and two couples travelling together on one booking.
• Longer rates that scale: weekly from €78 and monthly from €273 on the cheapest cars, charged as daily × 6 and daily × 21.
• Delivery agreed up front: the address, date and time are settled with a manager before the booking is fixed, so nothing is left to a phone call on the morning of collection.

The delivery model matters more than it sounds. Valencia Airport (VLC) sits 12.6 km by road from Plaça de l'Ajuntament, roughly 26 minutes outside peak traffic, and the Joaquín Sorolla high-speed station is closer still.

Price is the other half of the answer, and it is deliberately plain: the daily rate you see is the daily rate, with the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee set out in the rental agreement before you commit. A weekly booking is charged as six days and a monthly one as 21 — the only multipliers we use. For a holiday that runs from a long weekend to a full month, that keeps the arithmetic predictable.

One practical note: the cheapest cars are manual petrol, and automatics are a smaller share of the 31, so if you need an automatic for the ZBE approaches or the V-30 ring road, reserve it earlier rather than later.
