Madrid Airport pickupEach class figure is a typical day rate for the week used for the deals. Premium rests on a single car, so read it as one example.
Automatics and seven-seaters are both easy to filter for at Barajas. As across Spain, each car is a local firm’s.
Madrid’s terminals are T1, T2-T3 and T4; the voucher gives the firm’s meeting point and phone number.
Walk past the arrivals desks to the meeting spot on the voucher, and phone the firm if your terminal changes.
Fewer cars are handed over at night, and some at a fee. Your real arrival time in the search shows which cars still qualify.
A handful of Barajas cars add an airport handover fee, already counted in the total you see.
The search for car rental in Madrid adds Atocha station and delivery to an address, and Plaza de Cibeles is about 25 minutes from the airport.
Practical information for an arrival or departure through Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport.
P1 serves T1, P2 serves T2 and T3, and P4 serves T4. Follow the signs for your terminal before you choose a car park entrance.
No, not on the cars here. Each one still holds a deposit, with the payment methods shown on the car.
Paying without a credit card does not mean cash: the car page explains how the deposit and balance are taken, as for other cars in Spain that need no credit card.
All Barajas cars hold €100 to €1,500. For car rental in Spain with no deposit, look at Malaga or Alicante airports.
Traffic drives on the right. Set your navigation before you leave the meeting point, not once you are moving.
Take roundabout exits from the outer lane unless signs say otherwise; circle again if you cannot move across safely.
Check the car has a reflective vest and, if it is Spanish-registered, a connected V-16 light before you set off.
After an accident, tell the company at once and get a police report, unless the company agrees otherwise.
Set the destination and parking entrance before joining traffic. On departure day, allow for unloading and walking to the terminal.
From the airport: Madrid, about 25 min; Alcalá de Henares, about 35 min; El Escorial monastery, about 1 h; Toledo, about 1 h 15 min; Segovia, about 1 h 30 min.
Figures assume no traffic and no breaks, ending at Plaza de Cibeles for the city. Routes from T4 can use the M-12, and the Segovia route runs on the AP-6 and AP-61; all three are toll roads.
Hire cars may only use paved public roads, including the last stretch to your accommodation or a car park.
Agree any international journey with the company before leaving Spain. Discuss the required documents while choosing your rental.
The airport, Atocha station and delivery addresses are separate return places. Check which one your car offers before you plan the last day.
Enter the return place when you search. Only book a pickup and return pair that the search offers.
Check the total again after choosing a different return. Collection and return charges can affect which offer costs less.
Get the final meeting point from the company before departure day. Leave time to check the car together and unload.
For a flexible trip, compare the months before committing to flights. The chart uses the same length of hire each time.
N/A: no cars on offer yet for that month.
Add anyone who will share the wheel to your booking. Their age and time licensed must meet the vehicle’s requirements.
Choose the child equipment your family needs when booking, and get confirmation before you arrive to collect the car.
Compare boot space for the bags you are bringing, with each passenger seat you need still available.
Bring only small pets and keep them in their travel carriers. Include the carrier when working out luggage space.
The six cheapest share one set-up; other cars vary.
CDW, nothing to pay. The Fiat 500, Aygo, SEAT Ibiza, Golf, T-Cross and Polo list Basic cover with no excess and €350 held.
Not included. Standard cover never pays for wheels, the underbody, windscreen or interior.
Voided. Vandalism, neglect or deliberate damage cancels cover at any level.
Higher deposits. Other cars hold up to €1,500, and a stronger cover level can bring both that and the excess down.
Only an original national licence, valid until the rental ends and with Latin-script details, is accepted; no copies.
Bring an International Driving Permit too and show it on request.
Firms set age and experience per car and can refuse a driver who falls short.
Refill to the pickup level; the airport petrol stations are in the questions below.
By email with the voucher. Cars carrying the 24-hour option can be cancelled until a day before pickup.
Standard cars need a week’s notice, luxury cars and convertibles 30 days; a no-show loses the advance.
Expect the advance back within 14 days, less a 6% payment fee. New dates require a new booking.
The meeting instructions in your voucher decide where to go. Compare them with your arrival terminal before flying and ask the company about anything unclear.
Not for the cars here. Each holds a deposit of €100 to €1,500, so check which payment methods the car takes.
Many cars have one, and the deals include 1,225 km for the week. The limit shows on each car.
There are petrol stations at T1, T2, T4 and Barajas. The T2 and Barajas stations are listed as open 24 hours; those at T1 and T4 close at night.
Some cars, and a few at extra cost. Search with your actual arrival time to see which.
Search Madrid Airport for your full rental period. Check the car’s conditions and keep the terminal instructions with your flight details.
