KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tarragona

  • There are several advantages of renting cheap car rentals in Tarragona. First, they offer visitors greater flexibility to explore the region. With Tarragona car rentals, you have the freedom to visit places off the beaten path, avoid overcrowded tourist areas, and customize your itinerary as you please. You can visit sites that are located outside the city with more ease. For example, the Roman Aqueduct, which is 10 km (6.2 miles) outside the city center, is more accessible by car. Additionally, the scenic Priorat wine country is only an hour's drive away.
  • Reus Airport (REU) is only six miles from Tarragona. The rental-car offices at Reus Airport are located near the airport's main entrance, which is only a short walk from the terminal building. Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) is about 54 miles from Tarragona. The rental-car offices at BCN are located in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Some major rental companies have their own shuttle buses that transport people between the airport and their sites. Lleida-Alguaire Airport (ILD) is about 85 miles from Tarragona. The rental-car offices at ILD are located inside the terminal building, to the left of the entrance.
  • When driving cheap car rentals in Tarragona, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind. Drivers in Tarragona tend to be fairly relaxed and patient on the roads; however, it’s always best to drive defensively and be aware of your surroundings. It is not uncommon to see people jaywalking, so drivers should always stay alert and look out for pedestrians crossing the road unexpectedly. Bicycles are a common sight on the road, so drivers should always be mindful of bikers when changing lanes or making turns.
  • Rush hour in Tarragona is typically from 8 am to 10 am and from 5 pm to 7 pm. During these times, traffic can be heavy, and some of the main roads that are most affected include N-240, N-340, and the AP-7 motorway. There will likely be more tourists and traffic on the road in the summer months, especially on coastal roads. It’s also important to note that Tarragona receives a lot of rainfall in the fall and winter, which can make driving cheap car rentals in Tarragona more challenging. Drivers should take care on the roads during periods of heavy rain, especially in flooded areas.

    There are numerous places to park Tarragona car rentals, some free and others paid. We recommend that you plan to pay for parking in some parts of the city, especially in the downtown area. The cost of paid parking varies depending on the location and parking duration. On-street parking in the city center will cost around €1.50-2.00 ($1.70-$2.80) per hour, while parking in a parking garage might cost €1.50-3.50 ($1.70-$4.00) an hour.

These parking lots are well lit, they’re covered to protect you from the elements, and they have 24-hour security.
