Car hire in Girona
3 offices in Girona · airport pick-up · Spain
Girona is the gateway to the Costa Brava and the Catalan Pyrenees: an old town centred on the Barri Vell, a cathedral with a majestic stairway and houses hanging over the River Onyar. The province has it all within an hour's reach, from hidden coves to the volcanoes of La Garrotxa — yet those corners are rarely easy to get to by public transport.
Here you can collect your car at three strategic points: Girona-Costa Brava Airport, the railway station (with AVE services from Barcelona and France) and Figueres station, ideal if you're arriving from the north or visiting the Dalí Theatre-Museum. That flexibility means you can start your route wherever you land and drop the car off wherever best suits your itinerary.

Frequently asked questions
Is it worth collecting the car at Girona Airport?
Yes, especially if you're flying with low-cost airlines: the airport is ~15 min from the city and under an hour from almost the entire Costa Brava, so you skip the bus transfer and start your route the moment you land.
Can I return the car in Figueres if I'm continuing on to France?
There's an office at Figueres station, well placed if you're finishing your route through the Alt Empordà or connecting with the train to Perpignan. Check the conditions for returning at a different office when you book.
