Book Thrifty car rentals at Barcelona-El Prat Airport

Finding the Thrifty car hire counter at the airport is almost as easy as booking your hire car. There are two locations at Barcelona Airport, one in each terminal. If you're arriving in Terminal 1, make your way through to the main floor and walk towards the exit. The Thrifty counter is situated right before the escalators heading to the T1 Car Park. In Terminal 2, the car hire counter is located in the main hall as you exit the Baggage Claim area, situated close to Special Baggage Carousel 29.

Despite the legal driving age being younger, Thrifty won't hire a car to anyone younger than 21 and you must have had your driving licence for at least one year. You'll need an international driving licence if you don't have an EU licence. You must have a valid form of identification and a credit card in your name. If you booked online, keep your confirmation details handy, as well as the card used. If the card belongs to someone else, they must be present.

Thanks to the affiliation with Hertz, you'll have access to any type of car you like, especially if you book online. Booking in-person could mean you have to deal with availability issues but online booking gives you the choice of any car from standard compact models to high-end luxury vehicles with iconic brands. The most popular choice in Barcelona for singles or couples is a compact model, which is easier to navigate on narrow roads. Families tend to prefer SUVs, while those concerned about sustainable travel often opt for a hybrid vehicle.
