Car hire in Girona is useful for reaching the Costa Brava and linking coastal towns with villages in the Empordà. If you arrive by train and explore the city first, you can collect the vehicle when your trips beyond Girona begin.
How to compare car hire on Rent.it
On Rent.it, enter your collection and return locations, dates and times to compare offers from different suppliers. Look at the total price alongside the car category and rental terms. Rent.it is a broker; the supplier named in the offer provides the vehicle and the rental agreement. Check the office location and collection instructions, including any shuttle arrangements, before choosing.
Where to collect your car in Girona
Compare Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) with offers around the railway station. The airport and station are separate collection points: choose the one matching your arrival. For any office described as being nearby, check the municipality and actual address before confirming the booking.
For information about individual collection points, see the dedicated pages: Girona-Costa Brava Airport.
Driving licence, payment cards and deposits
Bring your original valid driving licence, identification and booking confirmation. Check whether an international driving permit is required for the country that issued your licence. Confirm which cards in the main driver’s name are accepted and how much available credit or balance the deposit requires. Paying online does not establish whether a card will be accepted at the counter; credit, debit and prepaid cards have different requirements.
Deposits, excess amounts, cover, minimum age, licence holding periods, surcharges and mileage allowances depend on the supplier, location, vehicle and offer. Read the vehicle details and rental terms before booking.
Choosing a suitable car category
A compact car can make parking and manoeuvring easier; for several passengers or large bags, compare categories with more space. A category booking does not guarantee a particular model unless expressly stated. If choosing an electric car, check its range, charging arrangements and required return charge.
Driving and parking in Girona
Girona has a low-emission zone: check the assigned vehicle’s environmental classification and current access conditions. Environmental-zone rules do not replace the separate access controls for the Barri Vell. Plan parking for the historic centre and consider the car parks outside the ZBE shown by the city council.
Planning your car return
Check the return address, office opening hours and fuel or charging policy. Returning out of hours or to a different office depends on the rental terms and may involve extra charges. Allow for traffic when planning your arrival and keep the handover documentation.
Where to drive from Girona
Figueres, Pals and Peratallada provide possible inland stages, while the Costa Brava offers different seaside routes. If continuing to France, check supplier permission before booking. Choose enough luggage capacity for your trip while keeping parking in smaller towns in mind.
If you plan to enter another country, check the supplier’s permission, charges and insurance validity before booking. Being close to a border does not mean that cross-border travel is allowed.
