Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best deals on a Barcelona Thrifty car rental?

We strive to get you the lowest price, whether you reserve your vehicle. But reserving your car well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Be sure to not add an additional driver and go over the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

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

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

How old do I have to be to rent a car in Barcelona?

Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Barcelona is 21. Take time to review Thrifty's policy, as there could be added fees if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category vehicles especially.

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

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Barcelona. Compact or economy vehicles are great for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a mid-size or SUV is going to have more room for luggage and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little luxury on their Barcelona trip can choose the premium category for a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does Spain require car insurance?

In Spain you do need to have insurance before you rent from Thrifty. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Thrifty car rental?

Thrifty requires a deposit when you book your rental car. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your car for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the model and make of the car.

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

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full to full policy. You should get into your vehicle topped off. However, if you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring your car back to Thrifty. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I drive in Barcelona?

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

Does Barcelona Thrifty offer one-way car rentals?

Thrifty usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to return your vehicle at a different location. Don't forget there is typically an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
