GRO serves as the budget airline gateway to Costa Brava, where medieval towns crown hilltops and turquoise coves hide between pine-covered cliffs. Most travelers rush straight to Barcelona or beachside resorts, missing the reality that the city itself rivals any Catalan city with its Game of Thrones filming locations and rainbow-colored houses lining the Onyar River.

Located conveniently near Costa Brava’s top attractions, it’s much closer than Barcelona, yet many visitors still spend hours on buses to reach them. Renting a car at Girona Airport enables you to:

  • Reach the pristine beaches of the Costa Brava within forty minutes, allowing you to enjoy the turquoise waters of Tamariu before other tourists even reach their hotels
  • Bypass the congestion of Barcelona entirely, giving you a direct route to coastal paradises and medieval villages without the stress of city traffic or urban prices.
  • Complete the iconic Dalí triangle pilgrimage in a single day, placing the world-famous museums of Figueres and the seaside charm of Cadaqués within easy driving distance.

Start your dream rental with ease. Book now.

Parking

Parking

The old quarter offers limited blue zones charging €1.50-2 per hour through meters or apps, while the Devesa park area provides free white-lined spaces.

Medieval streets weren’t designed for modern vehicles – your best strategy involves leaving the vehicle outside the historic center and exploring on foot.

Gas Stations

Gas Stations

The city has several fuel stops that close by 9-10 PM, though 24-hour options exist along the highway toward the coast.

Diesel runs about €1.40-1.55 per liter, while unleaded costs €1.50-1.65 – prices stay consistent whether you fill up in town or near the beaches.

Toll Roads

Toll Roads

Routes toward Barcelona on the AP-7 cost around €6-8, while heading north to Figueres costs €4-5.
