Car and Van Hire in Girona

It is often said that variety is the spice of life. Enterprise espouses this very same notion and clients can now choose from a variety of vehicles based upon their travel desires. Compact and mid-sized cars can be perfect for city travels while larger units such as SUVs are often chosen when journeying to other locations such as Barcelona or Lleida. Family outings and group holidays will often benefit from the line of people carriers supplied by Enterprise. Regardless of one's requirements, there are a host of cars to select.

While Girona is considered to be a moderately priced city, there are many times when one's enjoyment will directly depend upon a limited budget. This is one of the main reasons why countless customers choose the services offered by Enterprise. Not only are all vehicles competitively priced, but the ability to procure a reservation through a user-friendly online application form will save even more money in the form of rebates. Another worthwhile suggestion is to pre-book a rental car well in advance of the expected departure date.

The entire region of northern Catalonia is served by Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO). It is located only 12.5 kilometres from the centre of the city (approximately 20 minutes by car). Statistics indicate that well over 1.6 million travellers utilise this airport each and every year. In fact, it is the second-largest hub behind Barcelona El Prat de Llobgregat International Airport. Girona-Costa Brava Airport is often chosen by those who are looking to visit more northern destinations during their stay. Some of the carriers which operate out of this location include Ryanair, Thomson Airlines and Thomas Cook Airways.

Many of the attractions to be found within this city are related to its diverse history. Some prominent sights include Girona Cathedral, its ancient city walls, the Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu and an open-air square known as the Plaça de la Independència. There are also nearby beaches that should not be missed during any stay. A handful of the top spots such as Platja d'Empuries and Cala Tavallera will provide a respite from the throngs of tourists often associated with the more well-known locations. Many of these are found on the shores of Costa Brava and only a short drive from the city centre.

Thanks to the proximity of this city to the Pyrenees mountains, you can get in a car, leave the urban setting and escape to beautiful landscapes in no time. There are also a handful of towns along the coast such as Begur and Llafranc which are known for their quaint restaurants and welcoming residents. Those who wish to travel medium distances can take a trip across the French border or choose to enjoy a day visiting the spectacles that Barcelona has to offer.

Much like other major cities, the traffic in and around Girona tends to be light to moderate. There can still be times when rush hour conditions are present. It is, therefore, a good idea to travel earlier in the day to avoid such congestion. Street parking is available in most locations although it will be necessary to purchase a pass which will be placed on the inside of one's windscreen. There are also secure parking garages that offer numerous reservation options. Hourly, daily and even weekly rates are provided. The majority are found close to the centre of the city.
