Before hiring a car in Barcelona, carefully review the rental conditions from suppliers like Record. Pay attention to details on payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel policies, and driving licence requirements to avoid any surprises.

When hiring a car in Barcelona, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Record. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Barcelona by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Record typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Car hires from Record in Barcelona are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.
