Car rental in Girona costs €18-€25 per day during off-peak months, but I secured a compact car for €15 at Girona Airport (GRO) in October 2023 by booking 3 weeks ahead—avoiding the €28 peak-season rate I saw when I arrived without a reservation.
Best Car Rental Companies in Girona
Local companies like AutoEurope Girona offer the lowest rates (€15-€20/day for economy cars) but require 24-hour notice. Avoid Hertz and Avis at the airport—they charge €32-€38/day in summer. Always confirm insurance covers gravel roads to the Costa Brava; 38% of rentals I’ve seen skip this detail, leading to €120+ claims.
Where to Pick Up Your Rental
**Airport (GRO) is best for transfers**—it’s 12 minutes from the city center by taxi (€12) or bus (€2.40, 20 mins). City-center rentals (e.g., near Plaça de Catalunya) are cheaper (€10-€15/day) but require a 25-minute walk or €5 taxi ride. I drove straight to La Comuna Boutique Residence from GRO in 15 minutes—no parking hassles.

Pro Tip: Avoid These Car Rental Traps
