Barcelona Airport car rental pick-up info
Before you start a road trip, keep in mind that companies can be found in two terminals located a short distance from each other. Budget, Avis, Goldcar, Europcar, Enterprise, Interrent, Hertz, Thrifty, Sixt, and Record Go offer you a car rental at Barcelona Airport Terminal 1. After leaving the luggage belts area on Level 1, head to the exit. In the middle, you will see an island with an information stand - go around it to the right and pass the Caixabank cash machine. After a few steps, on both sides of the exit from the building, you will notice the counters of rent-a-car companies. Their cars are kept in the PT1 parking garage, connected directly to the terminal. As an exception, the Record Go office is not located before the exit from the arrivals level but in the parking garage itself, on the right side after the entrance.
All agencies presented in T1, plus Firefly, provide Barcelona car rental at the Airport Terminal 2. You will find most of the counters on a dedicated island. After taking your bags from the luggage belt, leave the area and reach the kiosks in the T2B section. However, Firefly and Interrent are available in the western part of the building, on the left after the entrance, opposite check-in desk B80. All companies in T2 offer quick access to vehicles outside the building, in the open-air parking lot - you just need to cross the road to get to the cars.
