Car hire in Jaén
5 offices in Jaén · Spain
Jaén is olive country: a sea of olive groves surrounds the capital and rolls up to the Renaissance towns of Úbeda and Baeza, both World Heritage Sites. Add the Cathedral of Jaén, the castle of Santa Catalina and, to the east, the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas — Spain's largest protected natural area.
With no airport of its own and limited rail connections, Jaén is road-trip territory. Our five offices — in Jaén city, at the railway station, in Baeza and at two locations in Úbeda — let you pick up a car wherever you arrive and plan an inland route without relying on infrequent local bus timetables.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get to Jaén if it has no airport?
Most visitors fly into Granada or Madrid, or arrive by train at Jaén station, where we have an office. From there a hire car takes care of the rest: the province is easy to explore on quiet dual carriageways.
Can I visit the Sierra de Cazorla on a day trip?
Yes, with an early start from Jaén, Úbeda or Baeza. By car you can combine Cazorla village, the El Chorro viewpoint and the Guadalquivir valley, though a night in the mountains lets you enjoy it all without rushing.
