Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my rental car in Barcelona?

You'll need to present credit card, as well as your driver's license.

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

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Barcelona. Economy or compact automobiles are ideal for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a sedan or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little luxury on their Barcelona getaway can choose a higher-end car model like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does Spain require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent a car from National in Spain. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to National?

We encourage a full tank policy. You should receive your vehicle with the needle at "F". If you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring the car back to National. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

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

National offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your vehicle at a different National. Be aware there may be an additional fee when you pick one-way.
