What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Barcelona?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Barcelona. Compact or economy vehicles are ideal for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer commutes. Those looking for a little luxury on their Barcelona getaway can choose a higher-end category like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Does Spain require car insurance?

In Spain you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Budget. Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

What is the fuel policy on my Budget car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full to full policy. You pick up your Budget rental with full tank, and you should bring it back it topped off. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring the car back to Budget.

Barcelona definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities in Barcelona.

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental car at another location. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
