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.

Friendly staff and good knowledge about what a tourist needs in Barcelona ☺️

Josh E.

Excellent service. Upgraded vehicle class when originally rented vehicle unavailable upon arrival. Took time to ensure we understood everything (traveling abroad) and when we experienced a tire blow-out a day or two into rental - completely replaced vehicle (we had full coverage).

Kevin A.

The guys were helpful. At first I thought they were just trying to upsell me but I was wenting an electric vehicle and they were concerned I would have trouble finding charging stations based on where I was going. When I returned the car, Michael was very helpful and friendly. I would use them again if I ever needed to rent a car in Barcelona.
