Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) sits 12.5 km southwest of Girona, next to the village of Vilobi d'Onyar, and it is the main arrival point for the Costa Brava resorts. The whole operation runs from one small terminal, so collecting a car here is quick once you know where the desks are.
The airport operates one passenger terminal that handles all flights, so you will not have to search for the right building. Most provider desks are in the arrivals hall on the ground floor, and after the paperwork your car is usually waiting in the on-site car park a short walk from the terminal exit. That car park sits about 10 metres from the terminal and has 3,600 spaces. Follow the "Car Hire" or "Rent a Car" signs as you leave baggage reclaim.
Suppliers at GRO
A few suppliers run a short courtesy shuttle to a nearby branch rather than handing you the car in the terminal car park. The meeting point for your booking is written on the rental voucher - check it before you land.
Payment and deposit
When you book you pay only a small upfront amount - usually 15-20% of the hire cost. The rest is settled at the desk on pickup. The deposit in most cases is fully refundable, and about a third of cars in Spain are handed over with no deposit at all - those are marked in the results. If you only have a debit card, pick a no-deposit rate or a cash-deposit option: nothing gets frozen on your card.
Have your voucher, passport, a driving licence held for at least a year, and the booking card ready at the desk. The minimum age is generally 21, and drivers under 25 usually pay a young-driver surcharge.
The airport itself is open around the clock, but desk hours vary by supplier - some keep full hours, others close earlier. As a guide, one major name lists hours of 08:30 until 11:45 PM daily. If your flight lands late, check your supplier's closing time before booking, as a missed pickup is hard to recover. Inspect the car for existing scratches and photograph them before you drive off.
The airport is well connected to the road network: the AP-7 motorway, part of the European route E-15, links it directly with Barcelona to the south and the French border to the north. From the airport roundabouts you join the N-156 and C-25, then the AP-7.
The resort runs are short. The driving distance to Lloret de Mar is about 18 miles and takes roughly 24 minutes. Tossa de Mar is a little further along the same coast, about 40 minutes east. By car you can reach Barcelona in around 1 hour and 15 minutes down the AP-7 if you are using GRO as a budget gateway to the city.
Crossing into France and low-emission zones
GRO is about a 40-minute drive from the French border, so a day across the line is realistic. A cross-border trip into France is allowed by most suppliers but must be declared when you book or at the desk - do not cross undeclared. If you plan to drive into Girona or Barcelona, cars hired in Spain already carry the required DGT environmental sticker, so a rental can enter any low-emission zone with no extra paperwork. The fines target older or foreign-plated private cars, not your hire car.
Two practical notes. The AP-7 has tolls on some stretches, so keep a card or cash handy at the booths. When you return, fuel up before the airport, as on-site prices are higher, then follow the "Rent a Car" signs on the approach to the airport - the return parking is near the terminal building.
In the arrivals hall on the ground floor of the single terminal. Follow the "Rent a Car" signs out of baggage reclaim.
Most cars wait in the on-site car park a short walk away, while a few suppliers shuttle you to a nearby branch. Your voucher states the exact meeting point.
The airport is open 24 hours, but desk hours vary by supplier and some close before midnight. If you land late, check your chosen company's closing time before booking so your pickup is not missed.
About 30 km, roughly a 25-minute drive south. Tossa de Mar is a little further along the same coast, about 40 minutes.
Barcelona is around 1 hour 15 minutes down the AP-7.
A credit card is not always required - it is needed to hold the security deposit. At pickup the supplier freezes the deposit amount on the card: the money is not charged and is released when you return the car undamaged.
To avoid a hold, choose a full cover or no-deposit rate - then a debit card is usually fine and there is no pressure to buy extra cover at the desk.
The deposit is an amount the rental company holds as a guarantee for the car. Road fines or damage can be deducted from it.
If the car comes back without problems, the deposit is released in full. It is a temporary hold on your card, not a charge.
It depends on the car class and the supplier - you can see the exact amount on each car's card.
You can set a maximum deposit in the filter and the catalogue shows only matching offers. The lower you set it, the fewer cars remain.
Yes. To see cars with no deposit, use the «No deposit» filter option. There are also cars with a small deposit or cash payment.
Note that "no deposit" means no hold at pickup, not no booking payment - a small upfront amount is still taken when you book. If nothing suits, contact our support team.
The deposit is the amount frozen on your card at pickup and released when you return the car undamaged.
The excess is the part of any damage you pay yourself even with insurance - anything above it is covered by the insurer.
In practice, damage is taken from the deposit up to the excess, so the deposit is often set to match it. A full, zero-excess policy removes both: you do not pay for damage and the hold is usually waived.
Cover comes in levels:
You see the available rates on each car's card when booking.
If you would rather not depend on the deposit and excess, choose the full rate.
Yes, some cars can be paid in cash - use the «Cash» filter option.
You pay a small upfront amount by debit or credit card when booking (usually 15-20% of the total), and the rest in cash at pickup in the terminal.
Yes, paying for the car with cryptocurrency is possible - contact our support team to arrange it.
The French border is about a 40-minute drive north on the AP-7. Most suppliers allow it, but you must declare the cross-border trip when booking or at the desk.
There may be a small fee and an insurance note. Do not cross undeclared.
Yes. In the search, set a pick-up and a drop-off point - for example collect at GRO and return in Lloret de Mar, Figueres or Barcelona.
By default the car is returned to the same place you collected it.
Most are manual, as across Spain. Automatics are in shorter supply and cost more, so book one well ahead if you need it. The same applies to 7-seaters in summer.
You need a passport, a driving licence and the rental voucher - the voucher can be shown on your phone or tablet.
It states the final price with your chosen options and insurance, so the amount due at the desk will not change.
To hire through our rental companies you need at least 2 years of driving experience.
