Which car rental company should I book with at Girona Airport?

We focus on quality, not quantity. At Girona Airport (GRO), we partner with hand-picked national and trusted local companies to ensure you receive the best service. Most provider desks are conveniently located in the Arrivals Hall on the ground floor. After you have completed your paperwork, your vehicle is typically waiting in the dedicated on-site parking lot just a short walk from the terminal exit. We actively monitor service levels at GRO to ensure a stress-free experience. If a provider's standards drop, we remove them from our site. Precise location details and instructions for your chosen vehicle will be clearly provided when you make a quote.

Book with Zest Car Rental at Girona Airport

We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to exploring the medieval cities and turquoise coastal fells of Catalonia.

Unlock the real Catalonia

Girona Airport is the perfect starting point for discovering "The Land of Dalí." With a rental car, you can reach Girona City in just 15 minutes to walk along the ancient fells and visit the iconic Cathedral. For a coastal vibe, the medieval walls of Tossa de Mar are roughly 40 minutes east. If you seek surrealist art and northern charm, Figueres is a comfortable 45-minute drive north, all easily accessible from the terminal.

Girona offers a blend of mountain fells and Mediterranean coves. From the high-altitude peaks of the Pyrenees to the rugged "Wild Coast," a rental car allows you to bypass the crowds and find the authentic fishing villages and mountain hermitages that define this proud region.

Our Fleet at Girona Airport

At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Girona Airport to suit every journey. Whether you need a compact car for navigating the city's Low Emission Zones, a spacious SUV for a family trip into the Pyrenees fells, or a premium vehicle for a comfortable drive along the coast, we have the perfect fit for you. All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.

One Way Rentals from Girona Airport

Pick up your car at Girona Airport and drop it off in Barcelona, Perpignan, or even Reus. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore the beauty of Catalonia without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your road trip.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.

Driver Age Requirements in Spain

Can I rent a car in Girona if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically start at 21 depending on the car group.

Can I rent a car in Girona if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Spain. Most standard rentals have no additional fees, though we always recommend checking the specific terms for your chosen vehicle.

What is the best time of year to explore Girona by car?

The shoulder seasons of Autumn (September to November) and Spring (March to May) offer the most pleasant weather for exploring the mountain fells and medieval towns. Summer is hot and perfect for the beaches of the Costa Brava, while the crisp winter is ideal for exploring the region's museums or heading to the nearby snowy fells of the Pyrenees.

Essential Tips for Driving in Spain

In 2026, the AP-7 motorway remains the primary route through Catalonia and is largely toll-free, though some regional tunnels toward the mountains may carry fees; we recommend checking your route on arrival and asking your provider for the latest details. Using dipped headlights is mandatory in all tunnels and strongly recommended during the day for safety on winding mountain fells. Your rental vehicle must carry a V-16 connected emergency light; geolocated beacons are now the legal standard in Spain, replacing traditional warning triangles. Additionally, be aware of the ZBE Low Emission Zones now active in Girona city and Barcelona; your provider will be happy to ensure your car has the correct environmental sticker for legal access. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
