About Renting a Car at Girona Airport

Car rental prices at Girona Airport vary significantly depending on the season – during the summer months of June to August, prices can double compared to low season. The best cars are booked quickly, so compare and book well in advance. Girona Airport is located just a couple of kilometers south of Girona town, and from here the entire Catalan coast and inland opens up.

Drive north along AP-7 toward Roses and L'Escala to explore Costa Brava with its dramatic cliffs, clear waters and charming fishing villages such as Cadaqués, which is reached in approximately one hour. Heading south along the same motorway, it takes just over an hour to reach Barcelona, while Montserrat with its iconic monastery mountain is just a short detour away. The medieval old town of Girona, with its colorful houses along the Onyar river and the impressive cathedral, deserves a visit before the adventure begins.

The best time to visit is May to June or September, when the temperature is pleasant and tourist crowds are lower.

We compare prices from all major providers at Girona Airport so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
