Girona car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Girona

• Excited to rent a car when you get to Girona? If you are landing at Girona Airport, you will find one terminal building split into two levels. You will find the car hire desks on the ground floor where you can either pick up your car on-site or take a shuttle to off-site car hire companies.
• As a tourist in Girona, there’s no need to rely on public transportation. When you rent a car, the ancient delights of Girona and Costa Brava are easily explored. From the medieval architecture of the Old Quarter, the Roman Forçe Vella fortress, and further down the coast to Barcelona, you have the freedom to discover the city center and beyond with a car.
• Travelers new to Girona should drive on the right-hand side of the road and yield to traffic already on the roundabout, to your left. When you’re driving on Girona’s roads, look out for autopista or motorways marked “AP,” as these are toll roads. Be prepared to pay on these roads, such as the AP7 toll motorway.
• Like the rest of Spain, traffic in and around Girona is usually moderate. Morning rush hour goes from 8:00 am to 9:30 am, then the roads get busier around lunchtime from 12:30 to 2:30 pm. In the afternoon congestion starts again at 3:30 pm and goes until 5:00 pm, and again in the evening from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Therefore, it’s a good idea to travel earlier in the day to avoid traffic jams.
• Book your rental car in Girona at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
