Which month is cheapest for car hire in Spain

Updated 1 November 2026, recalculated on the 1st of every month.

Average price per day by class and season, €

The 'SUV' class rises most in summer: from €54 to €77 a day, +43%. The 'Economy' class rises least: from €41 to €50, +22%.

The price for each month is for a one-week hire from the 15th of that month. Prices in the "Shoulder season (April, May, October)", "Summer (June-September)" columns are still approximate: hire companies add cars for these months later.

How prices are calculated and what they do not include

• Only local Spanish car hire companies from our catalogue are included.
• Prices follow the rate in our car catalogue, including whatever insurance comes with it. A child seat, an additional driver and full cover insurance, if the rate does not include it, cost extra.
• The city table leaves out hire points and cities with fewer than 15 cars, as well as locations where most cars are brought in from another city for an extra fee.
• Prices shown are average prices for one day when booking for one week. On your dates the price may differ.
• The average price on this page is the median: half the cars are cheaper, half are more expensive. That way a single car at €300 a day does not push up a city's price, as it would with an arithmetic mean.
• Seasonal discounts and promotions from hire companies, which sometimes appear in our search, are not taken into account.

How to save on car hire in Spain

• Compare cities and pick-up points: the average price per day is currently between €28 (Ibiza Airport) and €118 (Sagunto).
• Hire outside the summer. An economy car costs €41 a day on average in the low season and €50 in summer.
• Choose the class that suits your trip. Average price per day in Spain for the nearest dates (from 4 to 11 December 2026): Economy - €37, SUV - €50, Standard - €72, Luxury - €80.
• Hire for longer: with a one-week hire, each day costs on average 45% less than with a one-day hire (€56 against €102).
• If you can drive a manual, you save money: a manual car is on average 17% cheaper than an automatic.

What is added to the hire price

The final hire price may also include extras you choose when booking or on the spot at the hire desk:

• Full cover insurance (Super CDW or Full Insurance) reduces the excess to zero. Without it, if the car is damaged, the hire company deducts the cost of the damage from the deposit, but no more than the excess. The insurance type and deposit amount are shown on the car page before you book.
• An additional driver and a child seat are paid options added when you book.
• Returning the car to another city: enter different pick-up and drop-off points in the search, and the price may change.
• Fuel: you return the car with the same fuel level as at pick-up. If there is less, you pay the difference at the company's rate; if there is more, the difference is not refunded.
• Parking, fines and tolls are always paid separately, as are pick-up or return outside office hours and delivery of the car within the city if the car page lists such a fee.
