Where are the car hire desks at Barcelona Airport?
The location of car hire desks can be different in every airport, it is because of this that the most important thing to do is to check your rental documents and follow the instructions that they supply to lead you to the desk.
Both terminals of the airport have car rental desks on site. In terminal 1 these can be found on the ground floor just after the baggage claim area. In terminal 2B desks are located in the main exit hall and just after the customs offices.
As ever there options to rent a vehicle from a supplier with offices off the airport. To get to these, follow the instructions on your rental documents, as these will give you the best directions to the car rental office.

Barcelona Airport Top Tips
- Barcelona Airport is very busy and queues at the car hire desks can build quickly, especially as some passengers only take hand baggage and can therefore go straight through to the desk. If you do need to claim baggage, try to send the driver through to get into the queue to avoid a long wait.
- In peak times, cars can go quickly, therefore by booking far in advance you will often be able to get the best deals and choice of vehicles.
