Car & Van Hire in Girona

Enterprise car hire locations in Girona

Girona is one of the largest cities found within the autonomous Spanish region of Catalonia. It is located approximately one hour and thirty minutes north of Barcelona and thirty minutes to the south of the French border. Girona is associated with a rich history that reaches as far back as the Bronze Age when it was first inhabited by native Iberian peoples. Its population of 97,500 inhabitants tends to increase during the height of the summer tourist season thanks to temperatures that are slightly more refreshing than those associated with cities found within the southern Spanish provinces. As it is relatively close to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Girona is also quite popular with those who have been hoping to enjoy a bit of sun. The Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch is located at Girona Train Station and is thus easily accessible.

Cheap Car And Van Hire In Girona

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).

Attractions In Girona

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.

Places To Visit Outside Girona

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.

Parking And Traffic Information In Girona

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.
