A car rental at Madrid Barajas Airport is a convenient way to head to all the attractions on your to-do list and explore this unique city. Even though Madrid has a public transportation system that provides options like the subway and bus, driving remains one of the quickest ways to travel to different neighborhoods and throughout the surrounding region. Plus, having your own Madrid Barajas Airport car rental will allow you to stick to your own schedule rather than having to wait for transport.
There are a few different types of vehicles for you to choose from for your car rental at Madrid Barajas Airport. If you will be traveling with a larger group, you may want to select a passenger van. Those that are feeling like treating themselves can always select a luxury model. If you plan on primarily staying in the city center, you may want to rent either an economy or compact vehicle, as smaller cars are convenient for parking in tight spaces and navigating congested roads.
To return your car rental at Madrid Barajas Airport, simply bring the vehicle directly back to the location where you initially picked it up. All the companies that have branches at this airport store their fleets directly on the airport’s property, making it easy to return vehicles. Although it will depend on the specific company that you choose to rent with, you may have the option of dropping off your rental car outside of the company’s regular business hours.
Madrid is a busy and popular city amongst both business travelers and tourists, so the region will often have traffic. Picking up and returning your car outside of rush hour is an easy way to avoid getting caught in congestion, and this usually occurs between the hours of 8 to 9.30 am and 5 to 7 pm. There are a few major roads that are known for being particularly busy, including Interstates A-2, A-42, and M-30.

The car left me stranded in the middle of nowhere, had to have the car towed to somewhere and then returned the car the next day in a different city because it wasnt working the Alamo representative wouldn’t help me replace the vehicle with another one so I had to rent another car from a different rental company. Alamo put me in a dangerous situation giving me a car that didn’t function properly and didn’t do anything to resolve the issue.

I’ll start by stating that I booked this trip over the phone directly with an enterprise employee in advance. I arrived to enterprise rent a car 15 minutes before my pick up time, 12:00. There was a significant line which was to be expected as it was a holiday weekend however, my friends and I ended up waiting almost 2.5 hours to receive our car. I first spoke with an enterprise employee at exactly 12:03 and our car did not show up until 14:26h causing us to be late to an event out of town. When first speaking with the employee she advised me that the model of car I had reserved was not available and tried to upgrade me to a BMW 2 door convertible. I had specifically reserved a 4x4 large vehicle as we were five people in total with many bags between us. The enterprise team informed us they would bring us another car from a different office which as aforementioned, ended up taking nearly 2.5 hours from the time of check in to the time we departed. The saddest thing is that we were not the only party this happened to. There were two other groups who waited just as long as us in order to receive the type of car they had booked. Even more embarrassing, on one occasion when we checked in with an employee to ask for an estimated time of arrival for our car, he informed us it was coming “soon” and then proceeded to call other clients who had rented cars with enterprise and ask them when they would be returning their cars as they had surpassed their return time. Inconsiderate and a shame. Companies like enterprise need to ensure they maintain the appropriate quantity of cars as well as models for customers in order to avoid unnecessary delays and wait times. I believe the problem lies within the management of this branch as well as overbooking cars based on the assumption you might have “no shows” or cancellations seeing as when booking online there is no payment made up front. Moreover, we were not even offered a discount for the inconvenience. It’s safe to say I will not be booking with enterprise again.

Pick up was excellent. Our flight had been delayed but all went well. The staff in Madrid was friendly and helpful. The drop off was a little rough as they seem to have been understaffed, we had to wait quite a while to drop off the car. Fortunately we weren't running for our flight, but we observed other customers who were very nervous about catching their flights. They need to separate the pick-up and drop-off counters as many other rental companies do. The staff was friendly even under pressure.

Extremely disappointed with the service. The car I got was WAY SMALLER than what me and my family needed, which almost forced us to completely change our plans as our luggage didn't fit in it. We had to figure things out on the go. The company didn't move a finger to help us finding another car, not even paying the difference. I likely won't use the service again.

I have rented cars throughout many countries in the world and this has to be the absolute worse experience of the last 35 years. I had booked an SUV, but the SUV had a bad sensor so I could not take that vehicle. Instead, they gave me a small sedan (Corolla). When I asked for another SUV because that is what I paid for, they said that it was big enough and had no other SUVs available even though I saw several in the parking lot. They charged 50% fee of total rental for 1 day in France which was never disclosed when booking. The 50% of total rental did not include insurance or anything else so I was still responsible for any damage, so the extra fee was a complete money grab. What was I to do as it was too late to book a vehicle with another company in another country? The only positive was the fast return of the vehicle.

If I have to leave a deposit, I would like to know its exact size BEFORE buying the service. I had to cancel because I didn't have enough money freed, and even when I cancelled almost immediately I was billed the full rental. I will not trust Centaur ever again

The location is outside thre airport. They don't rent to people with US driver license - and Kayak assigned that agency even if they knew which license we had... Lucky for us that my mother had an "acceptable" drivers license from another country... but they couldn't transfer the reservation nor check us in with her data. As a result, we got to cancel the previous reservation loosing halfo of the money and then re do the reserve with the agency on site... REALLY BAD SERVICE FROM KAYAK

Expedia did not allow me to pay for insurance during the booking process and informed me to pay $26 at OK Mobility's counter, but during the pick up they asked me to pay €50 instead. So I didn't pick up the car and I only wasted 3 hours negotiating and contacting Expedia with no help and therefore it was a horrible experience for me and my family.

Have just flown home. The check out and in process was smooth but they did not look over the car when you take it or on return, they just advise you to take photos. Having just landed, I have received an email with a €750 charge for windscreen damage which was there when I took it (I have photos as advised). They have also charged for 1/2 a tank of fuel when I returned 3/4. It is going to be such a headache sorting it out. Really disappointed. Like a windscreen replacement even costs that much anyway!!
