Car Hire in Madrid Center

Nuevos Ministerios is a central hub in northern Madrid, known for its metro station where line 8 goes directly to Barajas airport in about 15 minutes. Here you'll find one rental company offering convenient pickup in the middle of the city, perfect if you arrive by subway and want to hit the road immediately. The area is dominated by government buildings and the Azca shopping center is just 500 meters south along Paseo de la Castellana.

Santiago Bernabéu stadium, Real Madrid's home ground, is about 1.5 km north and is a popular tourist destination. Parking in the Nuevos Ministerios area is limited and expensive – plan your departure route directly onto M-30 or Paseo de la Castellana. Take advantage of the subway connection to Barajas if you arrive by air and want to pick up the car centrally instead of at the airport.

Drive south on Castellana for quick access to A-2 toward Barcelona. How long does it take to drive from Nuevos Ministerios to Barajas airport? By car it takes about 20 minutes via M-11 or M-40, depending on traffic.

Is there parking at the rental location in Nuevos Ministerios? Street parking is limited, but there are parking garages nearby. Ask the rental company for specific directions.

Can I return the car at Barajas airport if I picked it up at Nuevos Ministerios? Yes, but check any additional fees for drop-off at another location with the rental company in advance.
