ace123 Posted November 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Four of us will arrive one week pre-cruise and would like to stay out of Barcelona for 4 nights then come back for 3 nights in Barcelona. We'll pick up a station wagon (for more luggage space) from the airport and return it after 4 days in Barcelona city centre. Budget has station wagon but the reviews are pretty scary. Any suggestions as to which car rental company to rent a station wagon? Any one has pleasant experience with Budget in Barcelona? Thank you so much.

Rare John Bull Posted November 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Checking out review sites for car rental is enough to put a person off renting for the rest of their life They all - including the big names like Avis & Hertz - seem to get a one or two-star rating on TrustPilot, TripAdvisor etc. So don't check out Budget in isolation. You're probably aware that Budget is the "budget" arm of Avis. We've used a host of operators in Europe, including both Budget & Avis. Mainly OK despite universally poor reviews. Our own preference is for Europcar - never had a bad experience with them, and their rates are midway between the likes of Hertz & Avis and the local or budget operators. We've also used Goldcar in Spain without grief. They're at the cheaper end but they've had their financial problems in the past & like all the others they get ....errr....."mixed" reviews. Sorry, no experience of renting from Barcelona. But can I suggest you return the car when you get back to Barcelona - in the city a car is a millstone. edit - re-reading your post I think you're already on the same wave-length If you want it for an excursion from Barcelona be sure to book a hotel with guaranteed parking and try to make that excursion for the first full day in Barcelona so you can return it soonest.
