Car hire in Burgos
2 offices in Burgos · Spain
Burgos is one of the unmissable stops in northern Castile: its Gothic cathedral, a World Heritage Site, the Atapuerca archaeological site and the Museum of Human Evolution justify the trip on their own. But the province holds far more: medieval villages such as Covarrubias and Frías, river gorges, and a gastronomy of morcilla and roast suckling lamb best savoured unhurried.
Here a car makes all the difference. Burgos has no commercial airport with regular traffic, so many travellers arrive by train or bus and need a vehicle to get around the province. We have pick-up offices in the city centre and beside the Rosa Manzano railway station, so you can step off the AVE and be on the road within minutes.

- Rosa Manzano station lies on the outskirts: collecting your car there means no taxis to reach the centre or set off on your route.
- The province's biggest draws — Atapuerca, Covarrubias, Santo Domingo de Silos, Frías — have scant or non-existent public transport links.
- Burgos is a natural crossroads between Madrid, the Basque Country and the Cantabrian coast: an ideal base for a northern road trip.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I collect my hire car in Burgos?
We have two pick-up points: one in the city and one at Rosa Manzano railway station. If you arrive on the AVE from Madrid, the station option lets you start your route without passing through the centre.
Is a hire car worth it if I'm only visiting the capital?
You won't need one to see the cathedral and the old quarter, but most visitors devote at least a day to the province: Silos, Covarrubias and Las Merindades are all but unreachable without your own vehicle.
