Where to pick up your car at Barcelona Airport
Barcelona-El Prat Airport makes picking up your rental easy. Goldcar’s counter is located in Terminal 1 near the arrivals hall. If you arrive at Terminal 2, a free shuttle connects both terminals.
Once at the desk, our team will check your license, ID, and booking. If you’ve booked with Key’n Go, there’s no need to wait in line—just use the machine, grab your keys, and hit the road. We keep paperwork to a minimum to help you get moving faster.
The rental parking lot is a short walk from the terminal. The layout is simple and well-marked. For returns, follow the airport signs for rental car drop-off. Our staff will check the vehicle, and you’ll be on your way without delays.
Explore Barcelona and beyond with your rental car
Barcelona has a lot to offer, but with your own car, you can explore much more than the city center. Driving gives you the freedom to discover parts of Catalonia that most visitors miss.
Start by hitting local sights like Park Güell or Montjuïc, which are easier to reach with your own wheels. Want a scenic city view? Drive up to Bunkers del Carmel. You’ll save time and avoid long walks or packed public transport.
Looking for a beach day? Drive about 40 minutes south to Sitges. It’s a coastal town known for great food, art galleries, and a laid-back vibe. You can enjoy the whole day and still be back in Barcelona by night. If you’re into nature, head north to Montserrat. The mountain views and monastery are worth the winding roads.
If you’re up for a longer trip, the Costa Brava is full of hidden beaches, small fishing towns, and beautiful drives. Places like Calella de Palafrugell and Tossa de Mar are perfect for a day or weekend trip. With your own rental car, you can build your own itinerary and avoid the crowds.
Planning to go inland? The Penedès wine region is less than an hour away. Drive through rolling vineyards and stop at local wineries for tastings, tours, or lunch in traditional Catalan towns.
