One-way Car Rental from Barcelona to Biarritz, France?
I'm getting slammed on drop-charges on a car hire from Barcelona, dropping
off in Biarritz. Anyone have any suggestions of companies/methods of doing such a rental with less than the 500 EUR drop-off charge? Taking public transport is not an option, unfortunately. |

On my last two rentals with Autoeurope and Europcar, I have avoided the drop off charge because a car registered in the destination country happened to be available. The first occasion was from Zurich to Paris and the second time was Vienna to Paris. This is just a matter of chance of course, but I think you should have good odds of finding a French-registered car in Barcelona. If you will be in Barcelona for a few days, and are flexible about when you pick up the car, you should call the local office as soon as you get there and tell them what you want. A suitable car may turn up that they can give you. No guarantees, however! |
