Rental cars and Spanish low-emission zones

How to check whether your rental car may enter a Spanish low-emission zone, and what to ask the rental company.

Updated 5 November 2026

Spanish-registered rental cars have a DGT environmental classification like any other Spanish vehicle. You can look it up with the number plate on the DGT website.

What to ask at pick-up

  • Which DGT label does the car have?
  • If the car has foreign plates: is it registered for the zones in the cities you will visit?
  • Who pays a possible fine, and is there an administration fee?

Then enter the label in our vehicle checker for each city.
