Car Hire Gerona - Cheap Online Car Hire Rates in Gerona
When arriving at Gerona airport an attractive option instead of taking a Taxi or Bus could be to hire a car. Car hire is increasingly becoming the most competitive option when taking a holiday abroad. Once you have arranged taxis to and from the airport and taken various types of transport during your holiday you will have easily more than a hire car would cost. If you are travelling with a family this is often a much bigger saving.
Another great option when hiring a car is to pick it up at Gerona and deliver it back to another place. This is quite possible with several companies these days it allows you to take a mini road trip during your break and means you will be able to see much more of the area, perhaps you could even tour the stunning white sandy beaches all the way along the coastline.

Gerona is a popular port of arrival for tourists visiting Barcelona, I would suggest perhaps flying into Gerona and hiring a car, you can then leisurely travel the twisting picturesque coastal road (the C-32) all the way south to Barcelona; stopping anywhere that takes your flight of fancy and taking in the area at your own pace. Alternatively if you’re in a hurry the motorway will get you there in an hour and a half. The car can then be dropped off at Barcelona airport at the end of your holiday; from here you can pick up a return flight to the UK.
If you plan on taking a fly-drive style holiday you’ll need to plan it carefully. I urge you to explore the historical city of Gerona before you leave, it has a wealth of attractions to offer any tourist, The 160 kilometer stretch of gorgeous Costa Blanca coast line will always be there waiting for a drive.
More and more airlines are flying to Gerona from region airports so ensure you take full advantage of this and reduce your travelling time in the UK. The approximate flight time to Gerona is two and a half hours and undoubtedly you will have had an early start.
By pre booking a hire car you can make some great savings. Try to book as far in advance of your holiday dates as possible. By booking online you will have access to the latest offers and a far greater number of rental companies. I would suggest using a comparative search engine; this means you will gather many different options available to you at the click of one button. You simply enter your details and requirements once and the search engine will bring back the most affordable and suitable results.
By booking your rental car in advance you can be sure your holiday will get off to a quick start. No waiting in lines or having to fill out numerous forms at the rental offices. You can also be assured that the vehicle you requested will be ready and waiting for you, there is no guarantee that when you attempt to book on arrival that they will even have a suitable car for you.
Because Gerona is such an ancient city steeped in history the roads in the center tend to be very narrow, and more appropriate for the horses and carts they were originally designed for. The best plan of action is to park your car in one of the underground municipal car parks. These are much cheaper than on the road parking and you will avoid any potential parking fines.
When you are booking your car there are a couple of important things to remember, although the smaller cars are cheaper make sure you can also fit all of your luggage on board you don’t want to arrive at your destination with irate back seat passengers who have sat amongst suitcases all of the way. If you’re taking any additional sporting equipment like skis or golf clubs inform the rental company in advance and they will ensure you have a suitable vehicle.
Rental cars can also be a great option for slightly larger groups, up to nine people can be accommodated in certain mini vans and this would definitely be a cheaper option than taking multiple taxis. If you feel like taking a road trip in style maybe a convertible is the way to go. Don’t forget to request air conditioning if you are travelling during the summer, driving in Spain with out it can be very uncomfortable in temperatures in the high thirties! |
