Airport Car Rental
Get your rental car at Madrid Airport! Then take your rental for a driving tour of Madrid’s diverse neighborhoods. Go to the Barrio de las Letras where many famous writers once lived, visit the hip Malasaña, the posh Salamanca, or the multicultural Lavapiés. And of course, make sure to visit the Puerta del Sol Plaza—it’s the very heart of Madrid.
There are countless museums, art centers, and galleries in Madrid, and the architecture is impressive. The city’s also famous for its cuisine, so trying local delicacies like entresijos, callos a la Madrileña, and sopa de ajo is a real must.
Madrid is a great destination, but why not see even more? Get a longer term car rental and head south to explore the fascinating history of Andalusia, north to the wild beaches of Cantabria and Asturias, or all the way to neighboring Portugal and its capital, Lisbon. You can even pick up your rental car at Madrid Airport and drop it off in a different city. Start planning your adventure now!
Madrid Airport is also known as Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport and Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas.

Driving in the city centre can be a bit hectic and lots of traffic but as we needed the car to take a trip to the outskirts of Madrid, it was worth it given limited alternatives.
