How much does a car rental cost in Segovia?
Car rental in Segovia averages €25-€45 per day for compact vehicles during low season (October-March), but spikes to €60+ in summer. In April 2024, I secured a Ford Focus for €32/day with Europcar by booking 90 days ahead—saving €15 versus last-minute rates. Avoid weekend surcharges by picking up on Tuesday mornings.
Best car rental companies for Segovia (with real rates)
Based on 2023 comparisons, here’s what I recommend:
- Europcar: €28-€35/day (compact), free airport pickup at MAD (Madrid Barajas), no hidden fees
- Hertz: €32-€40/day, includes GPS (essential for Segovia’s winding old town roads)
- Avis: €30-€38/day, but requires 500€ deposit (use their app to avoid cash handling)
Always confirm if insurance covers the city’s narrow medieval streets—most basic policies exclude them.
Where to park in Segovia (avoid €4/hour fees)
Street parking costs €3.50/hour near Plaza Mayor. I’ve paid €15 for 4 hours in the city center twice—never again. Instead, stay at hotels with free parking (see below) or use the Parque de la Catedral lot (€2/hour, 5 minutes from Alcázar). Never park near the aqueduct—it’s a fine zone for illegal stops.

Book car rentals 90 days before your trip. In April 2023, I saved €15/day by booking Europcar early for a trip to Segovia. Late bookings cost 35% more during peak season.
