Never flown into Barcelona before – I assume this is quite a large airport.

Picking hire car up at airport also – this is the first time I have ever picked up a car at the airport – are the care hire companies located in a different terminal and if so are there walkways etc to get there ?

All help and assistance and tips appreciated !

Thanks

ANSWER

The airport terminals are a fair size compared to some and very busy. Currently expansion work is being undertaken. You will need to make your way to terminal B to check in for you car hire.

As you leave the exit at Terminal A head to the right, walk for approx 3-4 minutes to reach terminal B where you will find car hire service desks. The queues for the service desks are often long and slow so be patient!

To collect your vehicle leave the terminal B building, turn left until you reach a crossing area – be very careful here, cars and taxis don’t always stop for you and you have 6 lanes to encounter!

You will see some portacabins with green, yellow and white signage, this is where you need to hand in your paperwork to collect you vehicle.

If you are flying out of Barcelona there is a vast selection of shops beyond Passport Control where you could spend a fortune!!

Have a great time, Barcelona and surrounding areas are fantastic!
