Car hire in Castellón
2 offices in Castellón · Spain
Castellón lives between two worlds: the beaches of the Costa del Azahar, led by Peñíscola and Benicàssim, and a mountainous, sparsely populated interior hiding gems such as Morella and Vilafamés. It's a province of genuine contrasts in altitude and landscape: from sea level to the 1,800 metres of Penyagolosa in under an hour's drive.
That interior is precisely the reason to hire a car here. The coastal strip is well served by rail, but the Maestrazgo, the Tinença de Benifassà and the villages of the Alto Mijares have barely any public transport. With pick-up points at Castellón railway station and in Vila-real, you can start your route the moment you step off the platform.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a car if I'm only going to the beach in Benicàssim?
For a stay in one spot it isn't essential, as the local train links the coast. But if you want to mix beach days with Peñíscola, Morella or the Desierto de las Palmas, a car is the only practical way to do it.
