Cheap Goldcar Car Hire in Barcelona

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

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 Goldcar. 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 Goldcar 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.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Barcelona, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Goldcar in Barcelona. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.
