Car Rental Prices

How much does it cost to rent a car in Seville?

On average, car rentals in Seville cost around €51 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from €14 per day.

How to pay less?

Compare pickup spots: Check prices at Seville Airport, Santa Justa train station, and city offices. Airport can include surcharges, while Santa Justa often has good highway access and competitive rates.
Rent only when you need the car: Explore Seville on foot, then pick up when you start day trips. Saves €15-25 per day on hotel parking and avoids restricted zones in the historic centre.
Book by season, not blindly early: For Semana Santa, Feria de Abril, and July–Aug, book 2–3 months ahead. In off-season (Nov–Mar), you can book closer and usually pay less.
Pick a smaller class and compare lengths: Smaller cars are cheaper and fit Seville’s streets better. Weekly rentals often have a lower per-day price than 3–4 day hires.
Fuel smart: Fill up at supermarket stations in Seville and return the car full instead of using airport pumps. Bonus: the AP-4 to Cádiz is toll-free.
Test different return options: Same-location returns can be cheaper, but compare one-way totals too, as fees vary by direction and season.

FAQs

Is it necessary to have a car in Seville itself?
No, you don't need a car and it's often inconvenient in Seville's historic centre. You can explore the main attractions best on foot, by tram or by bus. You should only consider renting when you're ready to explore beyond the city.

Where should I pick up a rental car if I'm staying in central Seville?
Santa Justa train station is often the easiest pickup spot for people staying in the city centre. From there, you can get onto highways easily and avoid driving through the narrow historic streets.

Can I drive in Seville's historic centre?
Many streets in the historic centre are only for residents, taxis and authorised vehicles. If your vehicle isn't authorised, you may get a fine from a camera. It's best for you to park on the outskirts and explore the centre on foot.

What's the best strategy for a day trip from Seville?
We suggest you pick up your car early (around 8-9am) to miss the morning traffic, plan your route beforehand and return late in the evening after rush hour. For popular places like Córdoba, you'll find it's easier to park at train stations or in special tourist car parks.

Are there any toll roads around Seville?
The AP-4 between Seville and Cádiz used to be a toll road, but it became free to use in 2020. At the moment, there are no major toll roads right around Seville, which makes it easier to budget for your road trip.

Is it difficult to find parking in Seville?
Finding a park in the historic centre is very difficult. Your best option is to use one of the public underground car parks (€2-3/hour). Some hotels offer parking for guests, but they often charge a higher price for it (€15-25/day).

What documents do I need to rent a car in Seville?
You'll need a valid driver's licence, a passport and a credit card in the main driver's name. If you are a non-EU visitor, you should have an International Driving Permit to go along your home licence. Most companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old and they often apply extra charges for people under 25.
