Car hire in Cáceres
3 offices in Cáceres · Spain
Cáceres boasts one of the best-preserved historic quarters in Europe: Renaissance palaces, crenellated towers and cobbled lanes that have doubled as the set for more than one blockbuster. The province, Spain's second largest, unfolds into endless holm-oak pastures, the Jerte valley sierra, Monfragüe National Park and whole districts where time seems to move more slowly.
That very vastness makes a car all but essential here. Cáceres has no airport and bus routes between districts are limited. We offer pick-up in the city, at the bus station and also in Plasencia, gateway to the Jerte Valley, so you can plan your trip from whichever point suits you best.

Frequently asked questions
When should I book to see the Jerte cherry blossom?
The blossom usually peaks between late March and mid-April, and demand for cars soars in those weeks. Book several weeks ahead and pick up in Plasencia, the natural gateway to the valley.
Can I park near the old town of Cáceres?
The monumental quarter is pedestrianised, but there are public car parks by the walls and along the nearby avenues. The practical approach is to leave the car there and explore the old city on foot — it's small and made for walking.
