You can also go to the popular Picasso Museum, where you will be able to see a large collection of this artist’s work. If you’re hoping to explore somewhere outside of the city, consider going on a day trip, such as to the town of Girona that is about a 1.5-hour drive away.

Tomasz K.

Ladies working at the branch were amazing. Completely different level than people working at the airport rentals. They were helpful, put it additional effort to provide exact car that I requested. Also, it was a nice way to organize myself - I took the car from Barcelona city center and gave it back at the airport at the end of the tip. Price was acceptable, and actually better in person than through the website. Again, big kudos for the ladies - I hope they read it and continue good work

Benjamin Hopkins M.

Great Service. Quick in and out. Every dream for hire cars.

Pablo C.

quick & professional

But I think that the handover of the car should not imply any liability for the client to miss out on previous damages, especially since the light is limited in the airport garage.

Remy Z.
