Question 1

How much does Barcelona Car Hire cost?

Accepted Answer

Car hire cost varies depending on a number of things: the type of vehicle you need, how long you need it for, and where you’re going to collect and return it. hoppa works with key local providers to ensure that we can offer you the best prices for car hire at Barcelona.
Be prepared to pay between 25 and 50 EUR per day, depending on your choice of vehicle. Limited insurance may be included, for which the car hire company may block a security deposit amount on your card until you return the vehicle in the same condition in which you received it.

Question 2

We’ve had an accident, what should we do?

Accepted Answer

It’s important to know what you’re covered for in the event of an accident while you’re travelling. Most car hire companies will have a basic waiver covering damage, and also theft protection and third-party liability. Your domestic car insurance is unlikely to cover you while you’re abroad, but you can purchase travel insurance when you book with us.
If you are involved in an accident, first ensure that everyone involved is safe and away from the vehicles. If anyone is badly injured or unable to move by themselves, do not attempt to move them. Call the appropriate emergency services - your car hire provider should give you the relevant numbers, but 112 is the local number for emergency services. Make sure you exchange contact information with anyone else, other drivers and any witnesses, involved in the incident.
Lastly, call your car hire company. Tell them what’s happened and let them give you further guidance on handling the situation.

Question 3

Is there an age limit for booking car hire?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Barcelona, the driver must be older than 18 and have held their licence for 1 year, although some rental companies require drivers to be 21 or older. Younger drivers may be required to pay an additional “young driver fee”. This applies to any additional drivers as well.

Question 4

What is a Car Hire eticket?

Accepted Answer

What information do I need to collect the car at Barcelona?

Accepted Answer

There’ll be some paperwork for you to fill in when you arrive at the provider’s stand.
