Sitges Car Hire

Car Hire and Rental in Sitges

Sitge is a very small town and so a car is not essential to get to where you need to go. However if you plan on taking in some of the beautiful sights of the surrounding Garaff National Park, Monserrat or the Torres Vineyards…. or heading into Barcelona a few times, then we recommend a Car. Yes the trains are great, but to really explore the area a car is your best option.

You can now search, find and book the best car deals around with Gay Sitges Guide’s booking engine. Our system searches all of the major car rental companies to get you the best deal. Search for your car hire deal here.
